Today was spent sleeping in, going to breakfast, spending hours in a beadstore and best of all: A planting project! About a month ago I scored this planter, pumice stone and soil at CVS for only 15 bucks. I figured it would be a good oppurtunity to start a planting project that I have had in mind for quite sometime. Living in the Sunset pretty much makes it impossible to keep any sort of foliage alive, thus the idea of a succulent garden was born. I've been on the hunt for the most beautiful (and cheap, of course) succulents and finally found them today at a local nursery.First I had to mix the pumice rocks in with the soil. (Pumice helps the soil absorb more water) Then I positioned the succulents where I wanted and tightly packed in the soil and finished off with a nice watering to settle the soil and plants in. In about five minutes I had this adorable little sucker to liven up my apartment. So with that, I introduce to you Debbi, Blue and Anchovie!
Wanna try it yourself? All you need is :
-Soil-
