Angel Trumpet Update

It's March 1, a sunny day, and time to pot some angel trumpets.  The water they're in has become a bit smelly, and it's time to give them a new home.

I use gallon milk jugs which my husband has
cut into a usable form and put a hole in the bottom.

The soil is left over from pots, collected from the
woods, and the remains of last year's tomato row.
I use a pinch of 10-10-10 and a little time-released fertilizer. 

Then I water them thoroughly and put them in a garden cart so that they can stay on the lower deck during the day and be moved inside when it frosts. They won't be safe outside until early May  when they can be planted in the ground.
