It was sort of nice outside today. So I decided it was time to prune the raspberry patch.
I am not all confident that we will have a crop this summer. Probably some, but not a lot. I wonder if I can plant some new canes now, for the future. And the plants that are growing are confused.

There were only a few fruiting, but I just don’t know.
On the house plant side, this amarylys is blooming. It is doing pretty well. I have a history of killing plants, not intentionally. I always feel guilty. My mother was the exact opposite. She loved plants, spent hours working with them, volunteered at the botanical gardens, and had a greenhouse included with the house my parents built.

Working towards the future, we bought two more shelving units. Not quite as wide as the first two, to fit into spaces where a wider shelf wouldn’t work.
Part of me feels we need the shelves for better organization. Another part of me says having more will make it easier to retain things we don’t really need.

I can’t figure out to do a lot. Today I struggled figuring out how to scan–since I upgraded to Win11, things are too hidden. You have a raspberry in January?? This has been a weird winter so far! I kill indoor plants too although I’m decent with outdoor ones.
