Day 16 – New Pots!

Alright, this is not being posted on Day 16, but this is what I did on Day 16!

I decided the Blue Borage was going crazy in that little peat pot, so it was time to give it a new home! Since I was getting everything ready I figured the cucamelon could be moved as well. The peat pots are actually being really difficult, as they are wet and then suddenly super dry with wilty plants in the same day, so I’m glad I moved the cucamelon over.

Let’s get everything together! Some potting soil, along with a bigger plant for the Blue Borage, and a smaller container for cucamelon. The cucamelon will do a crazy vine thing so I’m working on what to use as a trestle or cage for it still.

I chose pots that drain. Well, the bigger pot I drilled a hole in so that it could drain out – I’m not good with plants so I’d like to avoid overwatering them!

Fill everything up with soil and let’s move some plants in!

Everything is all planted! Hopefully it’s happy with me. I split up the borage but definitely ripped some roots in the process… oops.

I’ll be moving over the mint and lemon balm super soon! Actually, it may be tonight or tomorrow! The mint isn’t very big yet, but it has 2 sets of leaves.. and I feel I can take better care of it in soil rather than these peat pucks I used. The Lemon Balm is most definitely ready for a new home!
