Dreams...
I'll explain the dream. The dream was that I would buy six strawberry plants and 6 mixed seedlings and my garden would be lush and beautiful. I figured the topsy turvy was some miracle planter that wouldn't let my berries die. I also dreamed that I'd come within budget, $135.00. Considering how much recycled and home materials I used that was a logical dream.
Dashed...
I found out that I need 12 strawberry plants @ $5.00 a plant to fill the topsy turvy to the minimum. It actually fits 30 plants. I found out that the most common seedling sold has been known for disease, Bonnie. I found out that regular potting soil may kill my plants because its just not good enough. I found out I wouldn't meet my budget. If you know me that's the worst of them all. I am unbelievably frugal. Happens when you grow up with little money and not much choice about it.
Overview...
I'm doomed! But my topsy turvy came today so that's good. UGH!
