houseplants to note

My plain spider plant is making tons of babies right now. I've already given away half a dozen and there's more new.

Thanksgiving cactus is a little bigger this year, and getting ready to bloom for the holiday!

I have a new-to-me boston fern. I always did miss the last one. This is one somebody was getting rid of, because done with its summer on their porch. I know it will start to dry out and drop lots of leaves and maybe only last me one or two seasons more. 

But for now I'm enjoying tending it- snipping off dead ends, misting and turning daily. Already it's been thinned out twice, but looks the better for it.

dried cowpeas

Took down the vines the other day. Got a few more dried pods I hadn't noticed before

It was a good amount of cowpeas (black-eyed peas) this year, in spite of my neglect 

My little jar is half filled, enough to make a few decent soups I think I still have yet to try them! 

Always find it amusing to see the tiny, undeveloped beans in a few pods- here with two regular-sized ones.

found crawling on the windows inside- I let it out
