Potting Them Up Finally

I've been worrying about the Radio Red autumn salvias that I picked up last fall at Newman's. They've been in their black nursery pots since then, drying out so quickly in the potting medium and I have been fussing over keeping them going all winter and through a too hot March and now into spring.

I do love their deep red flowers. 

I wanted to repot them into good potting soil and put 3 of them in the prairie pot garden at the deck and plant one in the ground. But then my injury happened and that never got done.

I've now lost one -- it's dry and crisp. Good thing I overbought. The other three finally got put into larger pots with good potting soil today. It was a small job but awkward for me in the moon boot and hobbling about. 

I can't get to my potting bench below the railroad ties, so I used a card table in the garage and limped the few steps back and forth to the faucet for water and made a mess of things.

It only took ten minutes and they are now adequately potted up finally.
