scrubjayspeaksMore repotting today. Moved the sempervivums to a shallow trough pot, since the one they were in was far too deep. Broke off some of them to add to the in-ground area as well--it's becoming the home for wayward and excessive plantlets.
Also repotted Spiny Norman II, a dykia that has been surviving in about a half-inch of soil, so now he has a reasonable amount of soil.
And repotted my lone gasteria, who is always a deep, traumatized red and whose soil somehow instantly turns into bone-dry sand no matter what I repot it in. It's now in a larger pot, with fresh soil, and it even has a little offset coming up that's actually green. So we'll see if it likes this arrangement better.
I also shoveled some soil and compost into the circle garden.
My back has been bothering me for a week, so I wasn't able to tolerate as much activity as I would have liked. Even so, I've made a good start on the pots in the west cold frame. The next few days will be for tidying in the house, so hopefully my back will chill out soon. Also, even though part of NaClYoHo is to listen to podcasts whilst cleaning, I've just been working in silence. I'm outside and the birds are carrying on, and that's been pleasant enough.
