This is my zone 8b Louisiana garden journal.
This purple cabbage and celery are recovering from the frost. These little ornamental kale plants are some of the ones I started from seeds.


The house plants are loving their life in the cozy grow room. I have started some tomato, pepper, okra, and flower seeds recently. The golden berry plants were started from a grocery store golden berry a few months ago. I simply squished the ripe berry and planted the seeds in the soil. I watered them in and forgot about them. They spouted in 7 days. The orchids have actually started to bloom and I feel better about neglecting them last year. I am learning that if they are potted up correctly, fertilized occasionally, and most importantly in the right place they will thrive with very little care. I actually had these orchids placed on a ledge in the partial shade close to the house where they get mist from the rain but are not constantly drenched and they have done well. I will update and share the blooms later on.
