Time to Rearrange

It was time to re-pot some plants and rearrange others. I made a huge mess, but luckily I had a dollar store tablecloth, so it was easy to pick up the plastic and throw it all away. The 2 plants in the baskets are from Brian's passing and I'm going to try really hard to make them big and strong so we can keep them for a long time.The plant from the larger basket:I should have taken better pictures, oh well.



Our mandarin tree is a goner, but we haven't pulled it out of the ground yet. We noticed that the tree is sitting in a low spot in the middle of all the trees, so it probably drowned from watering all 4 trees. Poor tree. Sorry Karla, we killed the gift you gave us. The other 3 trees are doing great. That'll be a project for next Spring; we'll have to add dirt to even out that part of the yard and then get a new tree.

oh wow! I have a hard time keeping indoor plants alive. I was SO proud of myself that I kept the poinsettia plant alive that my mom gave me last year for Christmas and I was looking forward to the beautiful red leaves, but they never came...turns out there is a certain way to take care of them and I haven't been doing that.

I have a terrible time with poinsettias too! I can barely keep them alive. That's really cool that you've kept yours alive for a year! What a bummer that the leaves didn't come back. I would have been so sad; I didn't know they have special instructions either.
