Feeling the change in the weather and  the transition to Spring I decided to do some planting. I had two outdoor plants that did not make it through the winter, two indoor plants ready for bigger pots, and handful of empty pots ready for plants.

Saturday afternoon I ran a few errands on my bike and decided to drop by the local Armstrong Nursery. My balcony is pretty full so I purchased two plants to replace my dead ones, both were in the “California Natives” section and should bloom through spring and summer. The other plants I purchased were for the indoors, I’ve become obsessed with house plants and always feel like I don’t have enough. I chose to buy small knowing that the plants will grow and mature (they were also easier to fit in my bike basket).

Everything planted up pretty fast and I went through two small bags of soil, I prefer to use Miracle Gro Moisture Control.

I gave all the plants a good watering before moving them inside. I had spaces picked for all but three of them and I’m now debating making or buying (most likely making) a 3 tier plant stand for the them, I’ll keep you posted!

P.S. To keep me company while I worked I set up my record player in the laundry room (the entrance to the balcony is off it) and selected all female led records. It was the perfect soundtrack!
