how to plant a succulent

May 30, 2012 |

Place a potting screen over the holes in a planter of your choice and fill it halfway with succulent soil. It’s important to use succulent soil because it is drier than other potting soils and will provide the drainage the plant needs to thrive.

Add a small amount of water and mix soil to make a slightly damp consistency.

Gently remove the succulents from their containers and place them into your pot. They can be delicate and sometimes fall apart in the transfer, but once they are placed in the new pot and settle in they will recover.

Fill any empty space with more soil, brush remaining soil off pot and decorate with seashells, decorative rock, action figures-whatever floats your boat. It helps to have a happy toddler supervise.

Place anywhere in the shade or partial sun, sit back, relax and prepare to collect some serious compliments.

spring forward

March 6, 2012 |

Today it is cold and gloomy, but this weekend was so warm and lovely all we could think about was Spring.

Here are a few things I’m looking forward to once it officially arrives.

Wearing these

Lazy days

Trips to the nursery

Making mudpies

Getting some work done on Mike’s passion project-1953 Ford F100

Orange blossom in the backyard. Well the dog run, but it still smells so nice.

Maybe a trip
