my sad, sad garden. only the hardiest of succulents survived the winter and my delinquent watering habits:
here's what's going to save me. 60-foot magna hose to the rescue!
also, a more wise selection of flowers and plants i picked up at flora grubb, where everyone is so awesome and helpful:
i have been having this problem where soil has not been retaining water, even when i water 2-3 times per week. i thought it was maybe my choice of pots (too porous or small?), but a gal told me it was probably time to replace the potting soil, which apparently i should be doing about once a year, and which probably (because the deck gets a good amount of sun) doesn't need the pumice i'd originally mixed in to help with drainage. doh. in addition to watering more thoroughly, i hope changing the soil in all of the pots will get me better results. wish me luck, because if garden v3 (or is it 4?) dies, i'm giving up and starting a pottery studio. or something.
