Tackled that long overdue weeding outside while the laundry is on Wash. An hour of pulling stubborn weeds, a dirty job but it is much needed. Now my snake plants can be seen in all their glory. Planning to transfer one into a pot for indoor. Do you know that a snake plant cleans air better than most other indoor plants as it has the ability to absorb excessive amounts of carbon monoxide? It also emits oxygen and filters other toxins from the air. I scattered dried Zinnia seeds where my Blue Ternatea plant used to grow.
One thing I am so wary of bringing plants inside (except for a pot of Chinese bamboo in one corner of the sala) is that Oreo plays with the leaves. I tried bringing in a small but robust pot of white grass before, when the day ended, almost all the leaves were scattered at the glass top of our side table. Naughty, naughty Oreo 😦
I am thinking since the snake plants have sturdy and thick leaves, it would be harder for Oreo to chew them. All I need now is to remove the little weeds left and trim the carabao grass.
Heaven!
I’ll be able to concentrate on reading now. Having fun with my new tab and there are sites online where you could download e-books free of charge. I am so careful placing it back inside its box so it won’t get scratched meantime I don’t have a safety cover and screen yet. Haha, the things you do for those gadgets!
Would you believe, I sustained blogging every day for the first two weeks of August? Hooray! My stats has reached a sizable 585,669 as of this writing.
Just so glad there weren’t strong typhoons to induce flood. I hope the rest of the rainy days would be as good as this month. No flooding, no strong typhoons to hit our shore.
Good morning to all.
I’m pleased you have a new tab. New gadgets can be so much fun.

You also have to be careful that any plants chewed by Oreo are not poisonous to dogs. Here’s a list of those that are.

Yeah I know Pete, that’s why I don’t just put plants inside the house when I know they are not pet friendly.

we have quite a few pots of snake plants in the house, Arlene, esp in the bedroom. not sure if Oreo would like to chew on them though. they’re like rubbery, aren’t they?
glad things are coming along well; enjoy the new tab! 🙂

Thank you Wilma. I am sure he would not start on them because even the leaves are spiky too.
