Went and bought two large bags of potting soil and one regular size cactus/citrus mix. Used all of it in less than an hour. Replanted the geranium that came from my grandparent's house, finally planted my last rose, got the elephant ear tuber into a pot, and replanted all of the lemon bros (aka the Deke Squad) and the orange/grapefruit hybrid my partner's aunt gave me. Being outside for a bit today felt really good. It was a pleasant distraction.

I also did some sorting out this morning and found my old ikea bear; decided to keep him out and have him one of my old Rogue One shirts since they don't fit me anymore. I think it suits him.

#adventures in gardening #the yard still needs a lot of work but some of it has to wait #my partner needs to help me break down the old basketball hoop that fell down two years ago #unfortunately we can't use the bulky pickup option this year because my mother in law claimed them all #but at least i can get it out of the way and we can sit outside and enjoy the evenings once we move it #I've never had an elephant ear before and I'm excited to see if i can grow it #it'll be green and white speckled if it does #my partner's grandparents grew a lot of them so they insist they're easy #need to order some bonsai wire for the lemons since i want to train some of them #I'm so happy that five of them are still alive though realistically what am i going to do with five lemon trees lol #but they're my babies and i love them #still need to drill extra drainage holes in the raised bed and then buy a ton of soil to fill it for the succulents #also need to drill drainage holes in the pots for the indoor plants so i can finish transplanting them #it's good to have goals lol
