Plants

  Now that the weather has cooled down a bit we are getting to the plants that we bought a couple of weeks ago.  We repotted the orange or lemon tree-I'm not sure which one it is but it was root-bound from being in the house all winter.  The roots were soaking up the water and turning the green leaves yellow.  Too much water is sometimes worse for a plant than not enough water. So we planted it in a bigger pot and gave it some more dirt and room to grow.  It is on the "injured" plant list, along with some Cana Lilies that need to rebloom.    

We potted the cana lilies (not shone here because we had to snip the dead blooms off).  We planted some Superbells around them in big pots.  I like to have tall plants and then smaller trailing plants around them.  So hopefully, the Cana Lilies will recover.  

The plants are loving the sunshine and the Superbells are just blooming away.  Tomorrow we have more plants to pot especially some fairy gardens.  Hopefully we can get them done.  
We put most of our plants on the deck now because the deer eat them out in the flower beds. 

This is why I love spring and summer.  I love flowers and wish I could plant more the way I used to.
