Space is limited on my balcony. Instead of buying a pot, I decided to make a temporary pot for these annuals.
I had fun with this little project. I made this container with a green-bag (well, grey in this case). Here are the steps:
- remove handles,
- cut a few holes at the bottom for water to drain out,
- place a piece of newspaper inside to cover the holes,
- fill with soil (ensure that the newspaper is in place), and finally,
- add plants
I placed the container of petunias on a piece of wood. This allows me to to move the container (by moving the piece of wood), without disturbing the soil in the container.
I hope you enjoyed my gardening project. Thanks for reading. Have a nice weekend.

Hello Evelyn,
What a great use for recyclable bags. Now you can not only use them for grocery shopping. Your petunias look great.
What a cute idea! It's so nice to see some Summer flowers blooming somewhere!
