The Portable Jungle: Native Uprising

Funny thing... I have a portable jungle. A family of a dozen large plants that make seasonal trips inside and out. They are a lot of fun in the yard. They add interest to the back yard. Some of them are edible (Ginger, Vanilla pompona even though it's not easily edible) Some of them were projects (avacodo, clivia and seedlings, various orchids) One of them is well over 40 years old... great Grandma Fay's spider plant... which shades the roots of the Fiddlehead Ficus and the Vanilla orchid..

ANYWAY, the cat was being pretty loud last night.. more than usual. I couldn't figure out why, until just now. This has never happened before with the portable jungle, but aparently this summer built up a bumper crop of earth worms in the pots. Yesterday's deep watering must have driven them up and OUT. So this morning I have been picking up dried nightcrawlers that the cat dragged all over the house. YUK! I can't wait until we have the Jungle room/greenhouse up so I can just leave the plants in one place. Unfortunatly that's Waaaaaay off, if ever.

So, be aware container gardeners, you may have an uprising of your own. Poor little guys, just tryin to stay dry :(
