Spring Repotting

I've been meaning to replant my little green children for a few weeks now. Jon and I stopped by Home Depot last night and picked up a few gardening necessities and I woke up to a SUPER sunny day so the timing was perfect! Drilling holes into the bottom of the new and much larger planter proved to be a slight obstacle, but mission accomplished after charging my power drill. Getting some of the more spiny succulents out of their previous homes was a bit challenging as well, but after much delay, a few splinters and wrestling a bag of potting soil, my plants are finally settled into their new homes.

Now, to tidy up this little home of ours. There's yarn bits everywhere and my kitchen needs some attention! Enjoy your Thursday everyone!!

Lanford the Traveling Avocado Plant

Before our trip to Seattle I visited my Mom who has the best green thumb ever! She gifted me this avocado plant she grew from a seed (he was only 6 inches tall at the time). Not only has he traveled across the country from Atlanta to Seattle, but he's grown another 10 inches since we've arrived and he hasn't spent a day outside...to protect him from the cold air of course. I'm really excited to see how quickly he grows this summer when he'll be able to get some true sunlight outdoors!

Calliope the corn plant is in sneak attack mode behind me. Another plant my Mom gifted me a few years ago. She did exceptionally well on the trip too!
