Birthday

So all of my outdoor plants are wonderful. The ones from the order are doing real well. I think I might transplant some lettuce from cells to the ground. Possibly by the potatoes where the best light soil is. No need to water today because we had a bought of rain yesterday. It might hold me out until Wednesday.
As for my birthday I got the most interesting tree from my mother and father. They got a banana tree. The thing that is interesting is it is hardy in zone 5. I am skeptic and I am in love with it that I think I will try to have it indoors for right now. Jason and I bought a pot for it. Just a plastic terra cotta to get by with right now until I find a nicer stone one, or just wait until it needs to be transplanted again. It says it has 15 Ft height . I am excited to see if it does well inside. We do have the high ceilings for it. I will be repotting it today hopefully.
then my husband gave me my gifts and just one of the many was a Rex begonia. Very nice silvery plant with a maroon and green accent. I do not know if he was actually planning on what type of plant to get me but it is something that fits PERFECT! It cures my need for a color plant and fits perfect in the area where I needed a plant but could not decide what one to put there.
It was awesome of him. Heck I needed color. I have not bought plants since 2001 and lots of them died from then when I had a baby. Now I have them to a nice layout and schedule for care.
