Succulents

So yesterday I popped out to get The Bean and Sissy a few extra bits for their Easter Buckets and took a little detour to Home Depot for potting soil and a few mini succulents!! I already had some odd leaves that I'd collected from some plants at work and I'm hoping they'll root otherwise I'll have to go and buy a few more plants! I've had a wreath frame for a couple of years, well maybe more than a couple and have never used it so decided that now would be the perfect time to plant it with succulents. I guess over the years of sitting in the garage the mice had taken up residence in the coir lining! Luckily I had a few half basket liners and ended up cutting those and using them to line and cover my wreath. It was a warm day so I gathered my supplies out on the deck and got to work along with my helper Maddie!

I know it looks rather empty but I like to buy small plants and watch them fill in. I do the same thing when I plant my hanging baskets. I gave it a gentle water and left it out in the sun for a few hours before bringing it in as it got a little chilly when the sun went down. Sorry about the not so good photography. I guess I should start using my camera again instead of my phone - it's just that it's so convenient and quick and easy!

I hope you all have a Happy Easter. Until next time...
