I am writing this short blog today as a reminder to myself. So much information comes into our lives daily. I have to write things down that I used to file in my brain.
On Mother's Day my daughter gave me a beautiful hanging plant. It contained a Fuchsia plant, a Begonia and a New Guinea Impatient plant. I had read that nurseries crowd plants into the baskets so they are beautiful for the moment. I looked at my plant and thought it was rather crowded. Experience had taught me that the blooms on these plants are hard to sustain.
I decided to split my one basket into three so they had plenty of room for the roots to spread out. It worked out better than I had imagined.
Next Spring I will do the same thing. The trick will be remembering that I wrote this blog.
