Ok, I have decided that I'm not very bright. Two years ago I made a wreath. I was pretty happy with it but when summer was over I had to move it inside as some of the plants weren't hardy for my area. The first year was a mess. It spent most of the winter laying on the floor not very visible with all the other large house plants and watering it was a mess. During the holidays it was moved along with most of the house plants to an up stairs room that holds my seed starting table among many other things. Everything in that room gets crowded together pretty badly for about a month or so, not ideal conditions for plants. By spring it was looking pretty rough. Then last year the HGHA decided to make them during our summer picnic. So I took my frame apart pulled out what was still good and remade it at the picnic. Looked even better last summer. But it had to come back inside again last fall and the same issues as the winter before started again. Only this time I had found a tray that it could lay in which helped with the watering issue. So I'm talking to someone a couple of months ago and they mentioned that they displayed their wreath over the holidays on an artist easel. DAH
I have one of those. Why didn't I think of using it instead of laying it out on the floor. Then I'm up stairs cleaning off my seed starting stand. I store seed starting containers and supplies on it when I'm not using it for seed starting. Now I am up stairs a couple of weeks ago cleaning off the seed starting table getting things organized and I keep walking around the wreath that is still up in that room laying on the floor right next to the table obviously suffering from lack of proper light. Do you think I might have thought just for a minute to clean off one of those shelves last fall and store my wreath there. Plenty of light to be had all winter long. Yep I have decided that I'm not very bright.
Well now that I have finally figured it out, only took 2 years. I'm getting ready to replant the wreath again and next winter I can display it beautifully and keep it in good condition.
So in keeping with that idea I picked out a pretty new semp today to add to the wreath.
