I'd like to find more wire baskets...!

My plants have sand splashed all over them, BTW, from sitting on the ground when it rains. If I don't have a better place to put them next summer, well, let's just hope I do. Enough whining!

Planto, I could overwater a bog plant...!

Tiffany Rolling on the floor laughing We are such opposites. My plants die from thirst and you are drowning them.

I love the baskets for summer but winter I have to do better at watering or I am going to have dead plants because the plants have to start throwing dirt balls at me to get my attention. I just do not water plants once they come inside.

Nothing wrong with either style, and fascinating to talk about, and the ways of dealing with and overcoming both!

I did have a lot of problems with plants getting too dry last winter. I might go back to using some drip trays and make more of an effort to catch rain water while plants are inside... so I don't have to take every pot to the shower every time it's dry. I have the time, but not so much the urge - and good golly Miss Molly, I'm clumsy. I drop at least 1 plant per month every winter carrying them around like kittens. Also think a different kind of spray bottle would allow me to water more slowly in place without so much dripping. A little purple one from the dollar store takes too many squeezes on the trigger to be used as a watering device.

(Another thing I liked about that wire container last winter - I never moved it once, just spritzed all around the top and sides every few days, rotated occasionally.)

Tiffany, I had to quit using the trigger-spray bottles. It just killed my arthritic hands. I use a 1.5 L pump-up spray bottle now and it not only doesn't bother my hands, but I can also do a lot of spraying/misting with it. With hundreds of orchids and hundreds more other tropical plants, pump-up sprayers are just right for me.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

TY, Ken. Yes, that's more like what I think I need (if I'm going to try some watering via spray.)

I use three of them, one in each greenhouse and one on the porch. I use them almost daily.
