Trashed to Treasure  You might remember awhile back I removed the label from a plastic Gain Packets container. A member suggested I plant a fern in it... THUS today I sauntered out with my walker to fulfill her suggestion. First of all I took a piece of aluminum foil to assist with the drainage  With my trusty cordless drill I punctured several drainage holes in the bottom.  The foil fit perfectly conforming to the irregular bottom providing a space for excess water to exit the container. I filled the container about 2/3s full with potting soil.  Like a dumb ass, spade in hand, and an ice cream bucket I bounced my way out to the fern patch by the shed forgetting the camera on the workbench.... #@%**!!! Digging a couple plants I made my way back where they fit down in nicely. A little more potting soil along with a healthy splash of water and PRESTO ! Ferns as suggested in my pretty green container. The strong winds here blew the fronds around a bit, however, later I shall set the plants in a more prominent position. |

I spent a considerable amount of time on my rump painting flower pots & containers to "freshen" them up before planting. JD is up North planting with John, Ronnie & I are running the farm. I plunk my rump on a stool to groom the horses for Ronnie so he can do other things... (scoop poop) Managed to get bedding washed & hung out so it is clean and fresh when JD gets back in a couple days. Ruby is not taking the heat so well... IN/OUT/IN It was 88 F... 31 C here and windy again.

Lovely display of ferns in your pretty recycled green pot.  The darn wind plays havoc with plants and flowers, knocks them all out of shape.  I had two pots broken last week, and the plants in them strewn all around the garden. I was able to rescue the plants and tidy them up.
