NEW INDOOR PLANTS AND OUTDOOR GARDENS

We have two new types of indoor plants.  Two to replace one that died and two we haven't had before.  Our Christmas Cactus finally bit the dust this spring.  It had been on the decline for awhile.  Now we have two new ones that we hope will make it big time.  We also got two new Aloe plants.  Haven't had any of them for many years.  I use to have them, but they either died or got tossed along the way.  They are great for soothing a burn.  Just nip off a tip of one of the arms and rub it on the burn.  They also help with an itch sometimes.  My garden is up and growing, but I think this may be the last year.  I can't get them to grow like they use to, and I have tried several fixes to no success.  I think maybe I have tried to much and have the soil all screwed up.  The plants are nice and green, but just not growing big like they should.  The Cucumbers are taking for ever to grow and start spreading out.  Hope they make a crop.  I do have two nice Tomatoes and a Pepper plant in pots that are doing well.  I notice this morning that there is one Tomato on one of the plants already and several more blooms.  I am also experimenting with some Radishes in a pot.  The tops are growing well, don't know yet if they will makes Radishes.  Here are some pictures.  Enjoy.


These are the two new Christmas Cacti.  The one on the right has been planted for about 10 days.  The one on the left was planted today. 

These are the two Aloe plants.

NEW TOYOTA

Pat picked up her new 2020 Toyota Highlander yesterday.  It has been a struggle, but well worth it.  The new one has been at the dealers for almost two months, but not ready because they couldn't get the leather material for the seats and we didn't want to take delivery until it was all ready.  The dealer tried to talk us into taking the car and bringing it back when they got the material.  We said no.  The material was coming from California and couldn't be shipped because of the virus thing having the company shut down that was sending it.  It did finally get here and looks great.  Pat traded in her 2009 Toyota Highlander on the new one.  For being 11 years old, it was in excellent shape and only had a little over 69,000 miles on it.  Hope the new one does as well.  Here are some pictures of both cars.

This is the 2009 model that was traded in.
