Gardening Day Two: Planting New Plants

Today we plant new plants at the turnabout.

We were planting the same or similar plants, but these would all be closer in size at the get go.

Remember:
Lay out your work.

Dig your hole a few inches wider than your plant.

Tap or kick the plastic planters to loosen up the plant inside (don't just yank on the plants to pull out).

Loosen up the root system to prepare for planting.

Plant so that leaves/fronds fan out in the direction uniform with the others.

Press the ground around the plant down.

Make a ring.

Water your plant!

Name it and put in a stake if you wish.
