So here's the deal: Conrad and I are indifferent at best when it comes to potted plants. And that is being very very generous. For years we've had some succulents in pots, and we willfully ignored them. Occasion watering, pruning once, never transplanting or replacing. The plants were out there, and that was about it.
But honestly? We wanted better. And hey, there's Van, who tends to all the plants on his large patio and knows his stuff. Apparently I bring cooking, Conrad brings engineering, and Van brings green thumbery to the relationship. So we gave him a budget and let him do his thing.
Last week he cleared out every pot but one. Today he got the pots (and more) filled and rearranged.
Friends, it looks good. It's so different, and while we kept one succulent, it was good to have some other things, including flowers.
Van, thank you. We have a party coming up this weekend, so it will be great for people to see the new greenery and admire it.
