I'm seriously thinking about expanding my pot ghetto.

Performed to the tune of Elvis' 'In the Ghetto'

'In the Pot Ghetto'

As the snow flies
On a cold gray windy day
Another little plant will stay...
In the pot ghetto

She never got around to planting them all
And now the roots are tight in a ball
In the pot ghetto

Polly, Yes, I use over head sprinklers, plus I do some hand watering in some areas. It's a good thing we get plenty of rain here. I don't usually have to do much watering until July and August, our only real dry months.

People, don't you understand
This plant addict needs a helping hand
Or he will be growing plants on the roof some day

So he buys a plant,
Steals a pot,
Tries to grow it, but it turns to rot
And it slowly dies....

He said he would never buy another one
Neighbors whisper he's become undone
But one day the Lily Auction was calling his name
It's just all a crying shame

Joy,

That is no ghetto that is a Pot subdivision. It's too neat to be called a ghetto.....

But the song is a bit catchy don't you think?? Hurray! Hurray!

And I see that Jen also refuses to turn loose of a perfectly good pot just because it's a little bit broken. Hilarious! (And no, I am NOT posting pics of my duct-taped pots!)
