plant update

When I went to the nursery a few weeks ago, I showed pictures of my plants to the clerk and he gave me some good advice.  The most important thing I had to do was re-pot everything with the proper soil.  Not only was I using the wrong soil but I hadn't filled the pots up enough.  The soil should be level with the rim of the pot.  He also suggested I use a little fertilizer and water them every night.

Then, about a week or two after I re-potted everything it rained all night and it did the plants a world of good!  All of the plants showed marked improvement.  Take a look:


this one is doing well, but he's got a few mushrooms growing in his pot and I haven't figured out why yet.



 
these are the ones I thought had dried up and died...they're looking pretty green and lush now.



tomatoes come from flowers!

10 new buds!
Not bad for someone who has killed almost every plant she's had.
