What did you do in the garden today?

And they bloom each year

And they bloom each year

Do you keep the new growth in darkness for a duration of time???
That is my understanding to get them to be red. My mom kept a poinsettia for a few years one time. It grew but stayed green only. I have a few in the house currently. Come springtime, I plant them in my flower beds. They grow all summer,(green). Come autumn, and they expire due to cold climate I'm in.

Went over to a friends house from the farmers market today, picked up a boat load of pots today! $15 not bad at all and I hardly dented her pile!

Today I moved a half cord of wood to the patio. Windy & bone chilling cold! We’re supposed to get a bus load of snow tonight 7”. I took a nap. Opened Campbell’s soup for dinner. The only thing not aching on my body is my hair!

You hang in there Penny.
You had mentioned neuropathy. I too had it both legs and something terrible in my feet
(From Injuries).
I had back surgery in 2016. The day I could feel my tile floor with my bare feet is something I will never forget.
So when you say your neuropathy is bad I understand.
Sorry for your troubles with vision.

Oh ya. The little green machine! I used to collect and restore machines. Mostly treadles, but I didnt limit myself.
