back to plant care

It seems like I've been spending all of my free time working on taxes for the last three weeks, and now the forms are at least filled out. This is a wonderful feeling to be able to have time to water plants again. I've been neglecting to water all of my non-cacti succulents (cacti get no winter water) and they all look like they are still doing well. Many of them have started to go through a winter growth cycle and I imagine they were happy to have more water after being ignored for the time it took me to read tax instructions. I also was able to spend some time cutting up plastic growing trays to get ready to transplant more cactus seedlings. I really need to get these seedlings transplanted this month before the weather begins to warm up, because they survive better when transplanted between 55 and 60 F deg. (more would fail to survive the transplant when the basement gets warmer). I used vinegar and C-GRO in the water today.
