Helloooo planty people ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฟ Itโ€™s Thursday, and today I have cooked vegetables like Iโ€™m a real life grown person. I have also spent the morning dancing to the Eiffel 65 radio on Spotify, LOL, AND I did laundry!! Where is my medal and certificate?? ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s time to gather at #TheWateringHole aka #brunchataudreys . We were talking and felt like #TheWateringHole better represents who we are nowโ€ฆa casual and fun group that likes to hang out and chat about plants, no shaming or gatekeeping, experts and beginners all intertwined and supporting each other. What do you all think? feel free to join #TheWateringHole group too so you donโ€™t miss any posts! ๐Ÿ’ฆ

In light of the #greggivesbackgiveaway (pst, if you have never won before, go submit an entry!! Winner will be picked on the 16th!!) I was looking around at my next oldest plants! ๐Ÿชด I rarely show my succulents, but hereโ€™s a peek at 1๏ธโƒฃโ€œUrsulaโ€ my mama aloe plant who is just as old as my 16 year old golden pothos โ€œPhyllis.โ€ (Who was named when I thought she was a philodendron ๐Ÿ˜‚)
2๏ธโƒฃ & 3๏ธโƒฃ then next is โ€œAristotleโ€ my 7 year old lace aloe, and a small selection of his pups. I repotted him when his 33 pups were threatening to evict him from his pot!
4๏ธโƒฃ evidence of my adulthoodโ€ฆlook at all those cooked vegetables ๐Ÿฅ— lol. And one of my favorite cookbooks โ€œThe Everlasting Meal,โ€ by Tamar Adler, I like it because itโ€™s like a philosophy and stories with recipes thrown in too, so itโ€™s actually a cookbook you can sit down and read. (No houseplants were tortured by being taken to the kitchen and watered in front of all this planty carnage)

How are you all doing today? ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒˆ I wanna hear all about it !!

Hi famous 5 members of the new Watering Hole!
Just settling down for the evening here.
My horse ๐ŸŽ had a good watering at the Hole and I'm off to get him ready for the night ๐ŸŒ™
We've had off and on weather and it's been in the low 40's at night, so he doesn't need his horse blanket.
This is an lol ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜‚
but, wish that it were true!Sweet dreams ya'll...
Good afternoon #TheWateringHole friends!! Iโ€™m on board with it๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘. And I think Heidi @princesspitstop has an updated list. @DreamMachine look ๐Ÿ‘€ at all your grown up veggies! ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿซœ๐Ÿ†. The cookbook looks interesting too. Economy and grace. Nice combo!! Havenโ€™t posted on #GregGivesBackGiveaway yet. Iโ€™ve got a euphorbia thatโ€™s got ancient ties and has cuttings from one coast to the other ๐Ÿ™Œ. Need to take pics. Love that you kept the name Phyllis even after learning sheโ€™s a pothos ๐Ÿคฃ. Itโ€™s supposed to rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜ฒ the next few days!!! Such an unusual occurrence here. We will all have our noses pressed to the window staring out at something new and different than what we get 360 days of the year! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜ We actually look forward to a few days where we have an excuse to not be outside.
@DreamMachine Even if you have won!! Only this time because it's Greg's 3rd Birthday ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽŠ ๐Ÿ˜ Thank you for posting Nadia!! I've been deep in my closet trying to find Narnia!!! I've got fire trucks outside. I guess someone else is fed up with the complex too! Lol JK it doesn't look like anyone is hurt. They probably left a pot of water on the stove like I've done way too many times that I'd like to admit. I potted up 3 new Hoya today!
1. Burtoniae
2. Wayetii Tricolor
3. Macrophylla
I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day! ๐Ÿ’ž
@CutePolypremum love the horsey story ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅฐ. I donโ€™t know if you know I have a horse ๐Ÿด. Rode him today and actually have a blanket for him. He wonโ€™t need it tonight as the temps are still too mild ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคช. My horse lives the good life as most horses do! Gets his house cleaned 2x a day. Food brought to him without even having to ask or prepare. Constant supply of cool fresh water. Someone to groom him, like a spa day almost every day ๐Ÿคช. Lots of treats even when he hasnโ€™t done anything super special ๐Ÿฅ• ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ˜œ Has a podiatrist (farrier) chiropractor and doctor on call 24/7 (vet). ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ ๐Ÿ™Œ heโ€™s got it good. And Iโ€™m happy to keep him happy ๐Ÿ˜Š
@princesspitstop @DreamMachine isnโ€™t it the 3rd birthday this month for #GregGivesBackGiveaway ? Gregโ€™s been around longer than 3 years. My daughter joined 2021 and I joined January 2022.
@DreamMachine Your succulents are GORGEOUS ๐Ÿฅฐ Is there anything you can't grow??? ๐Ÿชด Are those "fresh beets" ๐Ÿซœ โค๏ธ
@MariansOasis Wow I don't know ๐Ÿคฏ I joined at the end of 2023. Not sure how long it had been going on before that.
@MariansOasis

Hi Marian!
I've been following you for quite a while and know that you're a horse ๐ŸŽ lover. You are so lucky!!!!
I think that you travel sometimes to horse shows and exhibitions and that your daughter also competes? (If my memory serves me well).
You're such a good mom...it's easy to spot because of the love you give him...the snacks, rides, grooming, and, he has a chiropractor and a great vet. That's awesome!
I spent my whole 4 years of high school in Germany and practically lived at the stables. They had Arabians, which were so beautiful. It was one of my special times of life experiences.
Please kiss your horse ๐ŸŽ on his nose for me!
๐Ÿ˜Š Thanks sooooo much for sharing.
BTW...what is his name?
@DreamMachine Nadia, that is a beautiful Aloe! I just love that! Please add me to the watering hole- thanks๐Ÿชด๐ŸŒบ
@princesspitstop @MariansOasis oh YEAH, even if you have won you can enter woohoo! But the real question now isโ€ฆcan Greg count? LOL! I didnโ€™t know your daughter was also on here Marian! Thatโ€™s so sweet ๐Ÿฅน And yeah, I couldnโ€™t just straight up change Phylisโ€™s name, that would be rude! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Dang TWO fire trucks! Hope everyoneโ€™s okay! Did you find Mr. Tumnus while you were in Narnia? ๐Ÿ˜‚
@CutePolypremum I hope you have a lovely evening Joanie ๐Ÿฅฐ Iโ€™ve still got a couple hours till sunset but it is dark today with all the ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ
@Ponytailmom Thank you! Named after the octopus witch in the Little Mermaid ๐Ÿค— Youโ€™re added!
@princesspitstop I cannot grow the will to fold my laundry within 5-7 business days I tell you what ๐Ÿคฃ

Yes theyโ€™re beets ๐Ÿซœ And I got lucky they still had the tops on so I cooked the beet greens with garlic and all the other greens. ๐Ÿฅฌ
@DreamMachine ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I feel you on that one! I just now got done hanging all the clothes up from the other day!!
@MariansOasis @princesspitstop I just re-read the giveaway post because I am apt to skim over things. It says โ€œGreg Gives Back is 3โ€ so I think they mean the actual give-away event, and not the whole app. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
@DreamMachine I believe you're right!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘
@DreamMachine 1. Youโ€™ve been holding out on us with those aloes!! Your lace aloes are gorgeous! What variety is the 1st one? Itโ€™s like an octopus with arms going everywhere! 2. No need to rush the laundry folding. The longer you wait, the less there is to fold because everyone has to go to the laundry room every morning to get something.
@DreamMachine your veggies look good, Iโ€™ll take some. I really need to take a break I see another plant I want. Your lace aloe is beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ wow. Hi I have a problem
@RefinedSandwort yes I do it all the time let the laundry sit. It always disappears either the kids take there clothes slowly or just fold it
@CutePolypremum ooooh Arabians! Theyโ€™re so handsome ๐Ÿฅฐ. Lucky you to have had that time in your life with hoses! They teach us so much. My guy is Rowdy, aka Angel Baby. We want him to live up to the Angel part, not the Rowdy part ๐Ÿ˜œ
@DreamMachine my daughterโ€™s still on Greg but no longer active. She preferred keeping a plant journal ๐Ÿ““ so stopped using Greg for reminders. It was fun when she was on!
@RefinedSandwort aahhh a method to the madness! ๐Ÿงบ ๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿงฆ ๐Ÿคฃ
Please add me to the tags! I joined too
Since itโ€™s getting cold I donโ€™t have any plant news right now other then I lost my pothos to the cold ๐Ÿ˜ž I did get my succulents inside , since I havenโ€™t been outside as much this week, Iโ€™ve been foraging and doing plant crafts with all the things I find. Here are some things Iโ€™ve done today and this week!
@TidyTigerpear absolutely! Weโ€™ll add you ๐Ÿค—
@RefinedSandwort @MariansOasis @princesspitstop
@RefinedSandwort LOL!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thank you! I always thought my big aloe was a regular olโ€™ aloe vera but I suppose I donโ€™t know for certain. She also was getting pushed out of her pot by her babies a year or two ago, but after after a repot and surgical removal of those babies, lol, I put her in a good spot and she has slowly been straightening back up again. Sheโ€™s totally like an octopus!

And I like the way you think re laundry! ๐Ÿงบ ๐Ÿ˜‚ Itโ€™s totally true too!
@princesspitstop this is several hours later but my brain just did a record scratchโ€ฆdid you just get a burtoniae?? ๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’•
@DreamMachine Skeerrrt Skeerrrt ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘
@DreamMachine Yes ma'am I'm pretty sure that's what it is. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Lol
@TidyTigerpear I love foraging for plant crafts too!! My daughterโ€™s school has the best fluffy lichens that I love using and so many nutshells. I also love making Fairy dolls out of dollar store faux plant material!
@FitBrowallia I do have 7 lace aloe pups that are looking for a new home if you want one ๐Ÿ˜
@DreamMachine YOU MADE THOSE??? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— OMG You never fail to impress me Nadia!!! They are beautiful!!!!!!
@princesspitstop aww shucks thank you โ˜บ๏ธ I go where the crazy brain takes me ๐Ÿ˜‚
@DreamMachine The 2nd one is supposed to be you right???โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ
@DreamMachine omg those fairy dolls are so beautiful! You are quite talented!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽจ
@princesspitstop That was actually a gift for my niece who loved Frozen at the time ๐Ÿ˜ I made 3 dolls for my sister in laws 3 girls, let me see if I can find the pic of all of them.

But also likeโ€ฆI couldnโ€™t make one right now. My brain stopped making those a couple years ago and said that was nice, what next?
@MariansOasis Thank you! Itโ€™s a trade off sometimes for sure. I can make beautiful things, but I canโ€™t remember to feed my self ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
@princesspitstop Here they are, I was trying to be to match the coloring to the girl
@DreamMachine Those are so cool! ๐Ÿ˜ I absolutely love them! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ You really are very talented. I know, I know, flattery will get me everywhere!
@princesspitstop yes maโ€™am it certainly WILL lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
@MariansOasis hereโ€™s a quote from โ€œThe Everlasting Meal,โ€ (pic 1๏ธโƒฃ )that I just adore. The whole book is like that, in the middle of recipes, itโ€™s very โ€œfeel good,โ€ and the author Tamar Adler was inspired by the depression era classic, โ€œHow to Cook a Wolf,โ€ by MFK Fisher, another favorite of mine!
@DreamMachine yes I want thank you
@TidyTigerpear Kaitlyn those are so pretty and creative. Great job
Beautiful!!!
