Got my CC's (Chritmas/Thanksgiving cactus) situated. All HB are in.

I still have the other black plant rack (Ikea) outside--now sitting empty.
Wish I had a wall somewhere to put it against--that would take care of all my
smalled Spider Plants. I seem to have too many of them. Very fertile plants....:o)
Will have to take a bunch to work and let them go at it...

Still outside are all my Amaryllis pots (7). Will try to find room for those in my Shop.
Three pots of Non-Stop Begonias are still on my front steps. They will all come in today too.

The biggest issue right now are my two big Brugs. As usual, this time of year,
they are full of buds. Hurts me like H--- to cut them off!
Need to cut back at least one of the main stems on each so I can cut them up and
put them in pots to root. Doing just a couple cuttings of each...

AND--thanks to "donner"--I may, actually, just let the big plants "GO"..
Never thought of doing this--but "donner" never saves the mama plants--just cuttings.
AND--she has a system of moving the cuttings on and on to bigger pots and,
believe it or not, she can have a full size Brug in full bloom in just one year.
It is unbelievable!!!

I NEVER thought of doing that!!!! So much easier than having to dig out the big plants
and haul them into the basement...We will see---we will see----
