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.
