This morning before heading to the Botanical Conservatory, Grandma and Isabel re-potted (in a new pot from Grandma and Grandpa) Isabel’s marigold that she planted in school.
Since we didn’t have an potting soil, they had to use some dirt from the garden box.
Getting lots of dirt in that new green pot.
Grandma gets the marigolds out of the cup to place in the new pot.
Adding a bit more dirt to fill it in. Hopefully her flowers just keep on growing. They have done so well in the Styrofoam cup in the kitchen window. However I had taken them outside a few days earlier and the flowers were attacked by spiders!
UPDATE: Isabel’s marigolds have died. Grandpa had removed the spiders before they re-potted them but the little flowers just didn’t make it.
They went from bad to worse very quickly.
We’ll have to get some new ones for her new green pot from Grandma and Grandpa.
