Pot Bound?
No, I’m not asking whether you are heading to the closest pot dispensary. Nor am I referring the condition of a plant that has cemented itself into a pot with excessive root growth. I am asking if you are bound to your garden because you have so many potted plants that you can’t go anywhere because they have to be watered so often.
I suspected we had pot bound disease, but it really came to light as we left the last SPPC meeting. I was trying to get rid of some pots left over from the tools and treasures table, and I asked Pat McKnight if she wanted a pot. She exclaimed that the only plants she had were in the ground. What a smart lady! On the other hand we have pots . . lots of pots. I decided to count them and I came up with over 200. So if anyone is pot bound, it is we. This year we scheduled no trips between March and August. In August we have a gardening friend who will come over a couple times to keep all the potted plants alive. My goal for the future is to reduce the number of potted plants so that we will be vacation bound when the weather heats up. What’s your situation? Do you likewise feel the urge to be pot free?
