Garden pots
I have been playing with pots again. It is warming up, summer will be here soon and I am a bit worried about things drying out. So far it has been quite cool and damp, but we have also had a lot of wind. Trying to work out how to water, so far I tend to hand water
I have the same problem and sometimes hand watering is hard work. Our winter is approaching and I have planted pots with pansies, violas and polyanthus. Watering is never so hard in winter as there is usually plenty of rain or snow.
I'm pretty sure I will mostly only be planting annual flowers in pots. I do hand water with the hose. I also fertilize every Monday with Magic Grow. it all becomes a ritual. But mostly I only tend to the gardens around the pond area and it has a hose and sprinkler set up. But honestly, our past summers have been pretty wet and we have not had to water too often. I would rather it would be a little less wet. xx, Carol
