FIRST SPRING PROJECT

 Yesterday nice and sunny!
Today, cold and rainy.
 


I'm glad I got some pictures of my garden
and spring trees because after today
who knows what it will look like.
I think they are predicting
in the 30s tonight.
Yuck!
 
 
Anyway, I started my Spring
 project list yesterday.
Last year I had found these little pots at
 Salvation Army.
I had seen a succulent wreath on Pinterest
and thought I'd give it a try.
 
 
Now keep in mind this is just an experimental project.
It may not pan out at all.
Sometimes I think the things you see on pinterest
are great but when you get right down to
brass tacks...they don't work at all.
 
First I wired the pots to a grapevine wreath.
 
Then I searched in my lingerie drawer
 for a pair of old pantyhose.
 
 
Filled the legs with succulent soil.
 
 
Also made some little balls for
the upside down pots.
 
I had some sad little pots of succulents
that barely made it through
the winter.
 
I wrapped the pantyhose legs around the pots
and planted the succulents I had
in some of the pots.
Now keep in mind I know
I need to buy a few more succulents.
 
 
You are supposed to break a little hole through
the pantyhose and plant you succulents,
they should spread...
we'll see.
 
 
This was my inspiration picture,
sorry not very clear.
For all I know these succulents
were artificial.
Again I say...
we'll see.
 
I'll give you an update
in about a month.
By the way, newsflash
Its now snowing outside,
I can't believe it.
Double Yuck!
 
Happy Gardening.
