GROWING THE JUNGLE POT BY POT AND LEAF BY LEAF

Now as the sun has returned to our hemisphere it's time to show the plants some love, re-pot and take care of them after the winter darkness. This year I -finally- got a couple of plant lamps to help my green inhabitants survive the dark months better. I somewhere read a comparison of the amount of light, and it is ridiculously low here in winter (from some 100 000 lux on a summer's day to just 500 during the darkest period), which is of course pretty obvious if you live here, but to see the actual numbers on paper is pretty describing as well. So now it's time for bigger pots for some, new soil and other care taking. I have always liked to decorate with plants, especially to make a room nicer when it is still waiting for a touch up or renovation, as is the case with our living room downstairs. We finally got the most important parts renovated, like upstairs  ( or: most of it, still some left...), and then the two-year-box-labyrinth-hell that was our former city flat clean

WHEEL IT!

You may know that my love for putting wheels on, or rather: under things, is just about as big as my love for pockets. When we made Dag's room  we put wheels under most of the storage. Easy to move around when playing, building fortresses and creating new secret worlds. He has a bench with boxes filled with toys underneath, that he can roll out when he needs them, to where he wants them. I planned and Eddi made a lego tray to build on, and then push under the bed for when not needed. And also to mimize the amount of hazardous little hard pieces to step onto when spread out on the floor (they still appear there too though...) And I got a couple of transport trolleys from the hardware store to store the bigger toy boxes on. (Yes, half of our house consists of Lego.) I wonder if there is something more that I'd manage to wheel still...
