Old Pot – New Pot
No, I’m not talking about weed, although there were some weeds involved. When we moved into this house, there was an old whiskey barrel planter here. We have lived here for 18 years, and who knows how long it was here before that.
We had it sitting on top of an old stump. Between the stump, the pot and 18 years, everything has decayed and rotted. When we moved the pot off of the stump, the stump totally disintegrated and termites started coming out. Ew! And then to make it even more exciting, bees started coming out of the side of the pot!
So, I very gingerly removed the lilies, the only thing out of the pot I wanted to save. I’m sure they are going to pout for a while having been transplanted in the middle of growing season. The slugs were getting them anyway, so they’re better off in their new home.
Fresh dirt, a shot of Miracle Grow. You’re welcome, lilies!.
