Another year, another garden

It's way past garden time in LA, but I'm determined to make one happen!  Progress on this front: Chitty and Amanda got me a raised bed kit for my birthday.  I was going to put it together this weekend, but... didn't happen.  But, what I did do this weekend is get a few new friends for indoors!  Meet my Money Tree:


It's gonna hang out w/Richard Feynman for a while.  My other new indoor addition: the little Button Fern:


The orchids are also new - thanks Brian!  There were a bunch of ferns at the plant store, but I restrained myself and only got this guy.  I like him.  I think I'll enjoy having it next to my bed.

In non-garden news: I am refinishing some picture frames that my grandma gave me the last time I visited her.  The goal is to have them all done and filled with pictures before Mother's Day weekend, so I can show her!  Update on that front to come.
