What did you do in the garden today?

Baking good bread is still far cheaper than buying a loaf of equal, or even fluffy low quality bread.
I bake two, giant, 100% whole wheat, loaves at a time every two weeks. I cut them in half and freeze them. We bring 1/2 a loaf up each time.
Now if you're BUYING these loaves from me, then store bought is cheaper. LOL.

I repotted some of my houseplants today!
Bought these cute chinaware at the thrift store and spent a good chunk of the day repotting my succs. There’s no drainage in them obviously but I hope they do ok

Just a few short years ago I thought succulents were silly. I was offered some by a member that needed to change careers. Now I love them. I have really changed.

I like succulents because they are so easy but also really diverse and beautiful —they look like flowers almost. Plus they’re perfect for brown thumbs like me!

Several weeks ago I picked up a bunch of garden clearance plants for 25 cents each. I got 6 tomato plants and a little pot of Holy Basil.

Has anyone ever raised Holy Basil? I never have.... But I brought it home anyway, planted it, and it's taken off....

Then tonight I noticed that my new Holy Basil plant has a fruit on it that looks suspiciously like a pepper of some sort.... I don't think Holy Basil is supposed to produce a fruit???

Also the flowers on this plant are small white flowers. From what I've read, Holy Basil is supposed to have lavender flowers.

Anyone want to take a guess on the mystery plant? If you guess it's a pepper plant of some sort, what kind of pepper (if you were the betting type....)?

I was so young. I don’t know how I thought indoor plants were a waste of time.
Here is one of her arrangements.

Cute. But it doesn't glow that brightly and after one cold winter it stops altogether. We painted our septic clesnouts.
