My little terrarium seems to be quite happy at the moment.
I added some moss that I found growing alongside the old abandoned asphalt road I ride my bike on from time to time. I took out the wooly thyme which seemed inclined to take over the joint. I put it out in one of the planters for now.
Here it is, getting an hour of sun...
One thing about adding wild found plants is that there might be 'creatures' in the soil. I have dispatched two teeny tiny slugs and some kind of winged insect, but I'm so happy with my additions, I don't mind all that much.
Here it is closer up..
It's kind of hard getting really good pictures of it. I have a magnifying glass I use to look at the plants really close up. Most of the time when I'm inspecting it, I have my nose stuck inside the jar. It smells like a little forest in there. I wonder if I could find some of those 'Drink Me' or 'Eat Me' foodstuffs that Alice in Wonderland used? Though I don't know if I want to come face to face with a slug as big as Sunny. That could get ugly.
(You DO realize that is a FICTIONAL story right?)
Can you PROVE that?
(Oh dear. It's going to be one of THOSE days is it?)
I want to see the Gabberwookie!
It sounds like he might have cookies with him!
I can tell.
There will be no refrigerator cleaning today either will there?
(I think it's a safe bet Red. We're all screwed. She's having a non-functional day. Let's go out to your house. Got any scones? Earl Grey?)
PS from the REAL brains around here...
If you click on the photos, they open up to a larger size.
Thought you'd like to know.
