This week has been one busy day after another... and this weekend will be no different. I'm upgrading one of the plants in my backyard into the massive green pot I bought last week tomorrow.
Today I went out to do a number of things, but namely I needed to buy 3 bags of potting mix, 2 bags of stones (for good drainage) and 3 little feet for the bottom of the pot. This all cost me around $60 - but it's well worth it.
As you can see from the photo I've linked to Pinterest, I'm using Searles potting mix. It's a midrange mix which costs a little under $10 but has a lot of nutrients which is good for a plant being transferred into a new pot. I'm also helping the plant I'm repotting into a larger pot - the Frangipani - by putting river stones into the bottom of the pot to add not only weight to the pot but drainage as well. I have done this to a few pots around my garden and the plants have been very happy for the past 6 years or so... and they're very difficult to move (but that's so they don't get stolen).
Just like I did a few years ago, I'm fixing up the garden little by little; and it'll be finished by the end of July. So, what are you all doing with your gardens at the moment around the world? Until my next post, enjoy your gardens.
