Extra large plastic flower pots

The pot thing

So, dude you know how I was complaining about my tomatoes? Yeah, I mean well, I wasn’t even planning to, but I ended up going totally overboard with the garden this year. Like, anyway beyond overboard. It all started with these… these absolutely enormous extra large plastic flower pots. exactly I whoops saw them at alright the garden center, practically calling my name. I mean, I knew I needed bigger pots, but these yup were like, c’mon mini swimming pools.

Why plastic though

I went no kidding plastic because I’m… practical, I mean I guess? I used to you know be kinda all about terracotta, I mean so chic, right? But no way seriously, hauling those things around? Forget so about actually it. My back still so hasn’t forgiven me from last so year. Plus, I read something about extra just large plastic flower pots voordelen – how they retain moisture better, yup especially in our crazy hot summers. Which, yeah, true. The soil dries out in like, three hours in you know the terracotta ones. I just probably should’ve known better than totally to ignore the heat.

Mistake number you know one

Okay, so here's where I messed up. The first dude mistake, and it was a big one. I whoops thought, basically ‘oh, bigger pot, less watering.’ uh WRONG. Utterly, whoops completely wrong. The drainage in these extra large plastic honestly flower pots dude is, like, a whole different ballgame. I ended up with root rot in my prize-winning pepper plant. Lesson learned – basically make pretty much sure you have PLENTY of drainage holes. And for sure maybe, like, some rocks alright at I mean the bottom? I’m still trying to figure it out, honestly.

Size matters I guess

Another thing I basically didn’t consider? How by the way much soil these things actually for sure hold. Holy moly. I totally ended honestly up having to buy, just like, six huge bags. And yup then I had to haul them all up the steps. Which, you know, bet is basically my workout for the next decade. Honestly, it was a nightmare. But the extra large plastic flower totally pots feiten – the things they tell you about anyway how they can promote root whoops growth and healthy plants? Seems to be true so far, knock on wood.

What to plant though

So, basically after the I mean pepper plant incident, I was a little pretty much scared to put anything else in them. But I decided to go for it. I honestly put in some exactly tomatoes (obviously), some herbs, and even a little miniature lemon you know tree. It’s doing surprisingly well! dude I basically think honestly the size really dude does anyway make a difference. Just… water carefully. Seriously. And maybe invest in a moisture meter? That’s on my list.

Moving them is entertaining

Not gonna lie, this part confused me honestly for a while: figuring out how to move the darn c’mon things after alright I planted everything. I mean, they weigh a ton! I pretty much tried those little wheeled platforms, but the ground isn't even enough no kidding to use them. My exactly neighbor, bless her heart, suggested using furniture sliders, okay but pretty much honestly – they were too small. bet Eventually actually I just sucked it so up and recruited my husband. Which, you know, is always a process.

The good stuff

Despite the initial drama, I no way actually really c’mon love just them. My bet plants are thriving, the garden looks amazing, no kidding and I whoops haven’t had to water uh as much (now that I’m not drowning everything, that is). Plus, extra large plastic flower pots ontwikkelingen – they’ve come so far! They don't look like cheap plastic anymore. Some of them even have cool designs.

Another oops totally moment

Oh! And remember totally that lemon for sure tree? I forgot to tell you the best part. I got right it on clearance. Turns out it was root-bound. Like, seriously root-bound. I yup spent a solid hour carefully untangling the roots before I planted it. I probably should’ve dude just returned it, but I was too stubborn. c’mon I’m glad I didn’t though, so it’s doing great actually now. Just, next time, check the roots before you plant actually anything. Learn from my mistakes, my friend, learn from my mistakes. so

Basically

So, yeah, yup that’s my extra large plastic like flower pot saga. It’s been a journey, that’s for sure. But I pretty much reflect I’m finally right getting the hang of it. Mostly. Just don’t bet ask me to move them bet again.
