This beauty was actually two small Christmas cactuses my daughter and I purchased two years ago at Christmas time. After Christmas was over that year, we put them both together in a larger pot on my porch and watched how it flourished. It has grown quite a bit since then and it's flowers are always abundant. Love always grows just like the love I have for my daughter.
Free Flower Pots at Lowe's Garden Center
By 15mhhm15
Some garden centers like Home Depot or Lowe's have a rack for free pots. If they don't, you can ask if they have any free pots you can have. What's awesome is once in a while you may stumble across a nice ceramic, clay pot too!

Repurpose a Computer Desk as a Potting Bench
By linda
I was given a computer desk but already had 3! My boyfriend did some adjustments and weather proofing and it is now a "potters bench" secured to my shed. A great place to store gardening items and stand to pot plants.

Always provide music and food for your plants. A balance of diluted 20-20-20 is the best mix for plant food. Nitrogen, phosphoric acid and soluble potash . . .
After removing the pit from an avocado, don't throw it away. Wash the pit. Stick three toothpicks around the pointy upper third of the pit. Then fill up a jar water and rest the avocado pit on the rim.
Feeding Birds from a Hanging Planter
I remove the dead plants in the fall from my hanging plastic basket. I leave the soil in tact, and add seed over them. The birds love eating off my hanging basket while I watch. Sometimes 'mother' or 'father' stand guard while "family" eats away.
