Christmas, Yule Plants and natural decorations
Posted by SirTravers on December 15, 2007 - 7:00pm.

Naturally I was in a dead spot and couldn't call today. I really enjoyed hearing about folks replanting their poinsettias today. I remember getting one a few years ago after all the decorations were coming down. The poor thing looked like a stick, but I repotted it and sure enough the darn thing resprouted. I moved it outside to a raised bed in the spring and boy did it grow! Now I didn't have the 6 foot moster poinsettia that y'all were laughing about, but it was about 3 feet high by the fall!

Oh for the essential oils on the potpourri...Get a carrier oil like a sweet almond oil to stretch out those expensive essential oils. You can dilute the essential oils in the carriers. Just use your 3 or 4 drops and add them to 30 drops of the carrier oil. You still get the great smell, but you get more of it!

SirTravis,

Thanks for the tip on the oils. I keep my poinsettias going all winter and then plant them outside after danger of frost.

They really make nice landscape plants in the shade.

I've never had one reach six feet either!

How was your summer season?
