First spotted in the dome sporting a very dark skin mainly because he was hiding out in the mulch that covers the floor. I have not seen Mr. Toady in a few months so I wasn’t sure if he had left while we had the door open moving rocks in back in November. What a surprise to find him hopping about near the cabbage. This post features Mr. Toad spends the Winter in the geodesic bio dome.
Hello Mr. Toady in The Winter Dome
I can’t believe I didn’t scream…. toads are reptiles after all. Instead, I was like ‘awww’!!! He is truly a pet and I am glad he is spending winter in the dome. Thrilled and honored to have a toad living in my geodesic biodome for the winter in Ohio. Check out my video below. Let me know what you think about having a dome by connecting on my website.

The Day Mr.Toad Was Spotted In The Geodesic Bio Dome Winter Garden
Having a toad in the garden is a treat because he naturally takes care of bad bugs. The toad dwelling in my geodesic dome also is a reminder that I grow naturally. Below is a collection of images from the day spent in the winter garden.

The flavor of this Oakleaf Lettuce and Spicy Salad Mix Microgreens is super fresh and holding its flavor. As the temperature rises in the dome lettuce usually gets bitter but not this bouquet as of this April Dome Update. Lavender WIN in the dome this April. I am excited to repot the herb in its own container to move out to one of my patios this summer. It was super nice to be able to brush up against the leaves and enjoy the aroma of fresh green lavender. This plant bloomed a few weeks ago.

These shoes have been amazing – I’ll just throw time in the washer later today and they come super clean. It is amazing to have walking shoes on and not have them get super soaked from snow and rain this time of year. The season filled with blooms is just beginning in the dome as the snow arrives. I can always count on my rose collection including ‘At Last’ by Proven Winners and my succulents to put off amazing unique blooms.

Mother of Thousands Plant
Mother of Thousands Plant or Kalanchoe daigremontiana is a fun plant to have in my collection. In this post, I share what you have to look forward to if you add this to your indoor collection. Mother of Thousands Plant Video My Mother of Thousands Plant is growing happy with a few other fun houseplants on my back patio. These plants have been fun to tinker with while enjoying my back deck off of my bedroom. I highly recommend all of these succulents and houseplants just because they have brought me so much joy. In the video below I feature the https://youtu.be/onz1-a6ASOQ The video featured in this post is embedded from my YouTube Channel. Look me up at BrenHaas and be sure to subscribe if you are a YouTube user. I appreciate the support. Kalanchoe Daigremontiana Images If you look close you can see all the little ‘babies’ this plant is dropping into the other succulent containers. The photo below is from my bedroom patio that gets filtered sun most of the day. In this post, you will find a few of my favorite photos of the plant. It was so exciting to find it at the garden center we found up in Michigan during the summer road trip. The plant didn’t have a tag so we had to look it up. Luckily, one of the gals in the garden center has been growing one in her home so it was fun to hear how she is enjoying it. As you can tell in the photo above I am pretty excited to bring the new plant home. I also had a bunch of other goodies from this garden center right along Lake Michigan just north of Traverse City. Can you identify any of the other plants? My husband and I … and Oliver had a great time shopping at the Pine Hill Nursery where I found the Mother of Thousand plant. Andy was loading up 2 new cherry trees in the RV while Oliver and shopped around. I really need to share a post featuring the 100’s of photos I took of this garden center. It is a beautiful business on Lake Michigan. A few more creative succulents on display at the garden center. Here is what the tray looked like in the nursery when I first found the plant. LOOK AT ALL THOSE BABIES!!!! I had to share the bathroom of the RV where I put the box of plants that included the Mother of Thousands. The plants were safe during our ride home in the shower of the camper. When I got home there were tons of babies in the box from that Mother of Thousands plant. I bet you didn’t expect that! The Mother of Thousands can not stay outside when the temperatures dip down in the 50*’s . I will be moving the main plant into my home and the a few of the starters (babies) out to the dome greenhouse to see how they will grow. Be sure to stay tuned and follow more houseplant and Geodesic biodome gardening updates. Other Succulent Post I think you might like these posts so please click over and check them out on my site.
