Pocket Garden

Weekends are never long enough and I really enjoyed this one. I decided to stay at home and work on my pocket garden. As Annie Lennox would say: "Here comes the rain again... So I moved my succulent plants here. Too much water is bad for these drought resistant plants.
I'm glad I checked my cacti because I was able to save this little fellow. It was beginning to rot around the base.  It was sitting in water-logged soil -the soil that came with it when I bought it.  I replaced it with my personal cactus soil mix. This cactus is going to be fine in no time.
Finally, I was able to plant the cactus seeds Arvin gave me. I was expecting more seeds from this pack. The packaging was too big for the amount of seeds it contained. Although I shouldn't complain, I got it for free. :)
These are all the seed from one pack. They're so tiny! They look like black sesame seeds. I planted them in a small  2-inch-deep pot.
I can't wait to see them germinate! There's a saying: To plant a seed is an act of optimism.
So, Aja! I'll give you an update with photos of cacti seedlings soon.

Succulent Dish Garden Workshop at Hey Kessy Studio

A month ago, I had another Succulent Dish Garden Workshop. I was really excited about the venue, Hey Kessy's lovely studio. Everything harmonized with the gardening theme.
 I enjoyed arranging the gardening kits on their tables and preparing the buffet of supplies.
The fun workshop started as soon as the participants arrived.
Here are the happy gardeners with their beautiful creation. Life is too short to always have clean fingernails. Keep planting and enjoy playing in the dirt!
