Happy Monday!<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

It is easy to read a blog and see photos and think that the writer leads a perfect life. \u00a0We try to keep it real here at The 2 Seasons<\/em>, and this post is a perfect example of that. \u00a0After watching a Martha Stewart television show segment about building a terrarium last fall, I decided to get ‘er done. \u00a0I didn’t have a terrarium, but I did\u00a0<\/em>have my mother’s pickle jar. \u00a0I planted what I thought was a great terrarium and wrote a blog about it here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Fast forward a few months, and it was looking like this.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

That green crud did not look like a healthy environment.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The only plant that survived was the ivy, and it is now living in a clay pot.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Meanwhile, Joss and Main<\/em> had a Victorian-style terrarium on sale one day, and I went for it.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I filled it with lots of happy plants and wrote about it here<\/a>. \u00a0I was excited to have plants that could be low maintenance which is important since we travel so much. \u00a0What I didn’t realize, though, is that the top was warped and lots of air was able to get in. \u00a0The air then dried out the plants. \u00a0Shame on you Joss and Main <\/em>for charging a perfect price for an damaged product.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

While we were away recently, my lush little greenhouse turned into this. \u00a0It looked like a desert, sort of. \u00a0So, I saved the plants that looked somewhat happy, but now two weeks later, they are also dead. \u00a0I guess the stress of living without moisture and water had done them in. \u00a0I think I’ll stick to easy plants in clay pots and let Martha plant the terrariums.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
