Well, okay, they are the Amaryllis I bought before Christmas. But as much as we enjoy and need <\/em>bright colors this time of the year, they were well worth the price. So far, I’ve had two flowering stalks, each with four or five huge blooms on it. And the reds are so intense. Yes, it does make me want to plant more seeds. But it’ll be 90 days before we can plant outside so, obviously, I’m holding off, even if it kills me.<\/p>\n

Isn’t this Amaryllis bright?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Those first habaneros are doing very well, growing nicely, although slowly, as is their habit. I bought some 4-inch plastic pots online to transplant them into as the pots hold more soil than do my usual Styrofoam coffee cups. I did this as I plan on holding them in the pots longer than I do when planted in the cups. Then, they’ll be transplanted into large nursery pots to spend the summer in our greenhouse, which is heated in the spring and late fall. I’m determined to get a good crop of habaneros for a change, instead of just one or two! (No, I don’t eat them, only use tiny bits for seasoning various dishes.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I’m happy with the way our habanero seedlings are growing. Some already have one set of “adult” leaves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, if I can get habaneros to harvest as well as my Sugar Rush Peach hot peppers!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had my last trip to rehab today for my knee. It seems to be progressing well so I’m glad. I see the doctor tomorrow, with X-rays, so we’ll hope that visit goes well, too. Going to rehab cost us six hours a week, which is really hard on us as there are so many other things we need to be doing (like blogs!). I will continue doing my exercises at home and am confident I can get the knee where it needs to be. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
