I know it still isn’t sprang, but I’m happy this is the last day of February. Goodbye, shitty month; don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out! Five or six more weeks until the MLBs return, and about the same until I hope to see an oriole again! I may actually get their feeders washed; they’ve been sitting out on the patio since last fall. Yes, I am that lazy.

Later…
I did wash the feeders, and cleaned some “Miff is gross” stains on the carpet. P cleans up the actual vomit, but I have to get out my little steam cleaner to get rid of the stains. Then, Gross Kitteh and I took a nap, and when I got up, I repotted a bunch of houseplants that desperately needed it. The…forget the name, but it’s the one with magenta/white/green splashed leaves that’s related to Maranta…anyway, it was so potbound that I thought I’d have to cut the pot off of it, but eventually wrestled it out. My Strelitzia reginae finally got an actual pot, and what thick roots Bird of Paradise has! Now, none of my cache pots fit, so I’ll have to think about solutions to make everything look nice. Mealy bugs were starting to attack the light pink Syngonium that was my first Parview plant, so I gave it a shower with insecticidal soap, and also repotted it because its roots had grown down into the gravel I had at the bottom of the cache pot. Fuck mealy bugs…little bastards killed my string of pearls plant, and I’ll never forget or forgive.

I also received 20 orange crocosmia today, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to just stuff them in Dixie cups the way I did the ‘Lucifer’ because they have leaves. I’m too afraid to open the plastic bag to see for sure. I don’t know that I even have 20 small pots (maybe?), but I certainly don’t have room for 20 small pots indoors! Stupid bitch…if you’re selling rooted plants instead of bulbs/corms, then say so. Also, don’t automatically add everyone who buys something from you on ebay to your goddamned Circles. I don’t know you, I bought something from you once, and you’re the same as the cashiers at any random store…and they didn’t add me to their stupid Circles!

I got the crocosmia Montbretia into the little cups, but it wasn’t easy. She sent 21 bulbs, plus there were two cups worth of leaves with enough root attached that I thought they might grow. They’re currently stacked atop the other little cups by the window.
