It was expensive, way more than normal potting soil, but sooo much better! I can’t argue with success, I love how the Green Mountain boxwoods have done. This was the potting soil I purchased at a local nursery called Lost Mountain Nursery. I decided to use the same potting soil I purchased when I planted these two Green Mountain boxwood because they have done extremely well over the past couple of years. I knew I wanted to use really good potting soil for the hydrangeas. Just wanted to share this in case you run into a similar situation.
I don’t think I could have physically done that. This two-step process was so much easier than trying to lift it out of the red planter and up, up, up and into the black planter. Then I moved my hands further down on the trunk of the tree so I could get a really good grip, then lifted it the additional few inches to get it into the black planter. Next, I lifted it by its trunk and sat it atop the upside down planter. To get it into the black planter without killing my back, I removed it from its existing planter, then turned that planter upside down. I came up with this idea and wanted to share it in case you run into a similar situation. It has grown since I bought it last year and has quite the root ball now. I was wondering how I was going to get it out of the planter it was in and up high enough to get it into the new planter without straining my back. But I changed my mind and decided to put it into another planter, just a much bigger one.
I purchased this particular hydrangea last year with the idea of planting it in the ground. I also got the other Limelight tree-form hydrangea planted. So hopefully I’ll have a reveal for you before too much longer. I planted the Green Tower boxwood in the corner and got two more of the large boxwood shrubs in the ground. Yesterday I managed to get four shrubs planted on this side of the porch. Update: See the guest room with furniture back in place here: Guest Room Reveal with Hardwood Flooring I’d love to have repainted the walls in here this past weekend, but I’ve been too busy planting to paint. The furniture will get moved back in tomorrow. The flooring in the guest room got its third and final coat of polyurethane this morning. So glad to have the porch back together again. It’s kind of a in-progress post with some hopefully helpful tips mixed in.Īfter the new coat of marine varnish dried, the furniture was moved back out onto the screened porch. There’s been so much happening around here lately, I thought I’d give you a little update all in one post.
