Since our plants were all bursting out of their little pots we decided it was time to give them more room to grow...bigger pots! So last weekend Andy came back from the Rockingham Co-op with lots of pots, little plant sprouters of tomatoes and peppers, and a huuuge bag of dirt. I took one look at the dirt and said, "we don't need that much dirt!", but Andy just shrugged it off and said "Oh, just you wait".(The herbs before we re-potted them. They love the sun!)
So the re-potting began. We took everything onto our wonderful wrap-around porch and dug in. The dirt was glorious, the sun was shining, and the neighbor kids were fascinated. :) Soon, our dirt ran out, and we hadn't even finished yet. I couldn't believe how fast we went through so much dirt! So we got more, and then that dirt finished. We could have used a third bag of dirt, but the place was closed so we worked with what we had. I was almost ready to go digging in the back yard.(The first time we potted plants was in the bath-tub, it quickly got messy though.)
Finally we were done. We brought all our newly potted plants back upstairs to our apartment and spread them out. With the addition of tomato and pepper plants, our window room is officially all taken up. The next step will be to take the plants outside and into a garden, but we can't do that until we move in July. So until then, we will keep our little garden in the house. We love it!(Our first plants, now this window seat is covered in plants!)
