I had posted earlier this week ( or was it the weekend) about my plant.
Well it took 90 minutes but I got the whole plant out of the pot w/o too much damage to me or the plant. Washed off the soil-it really had alot of roots considering the pot it was in stood about 30 inches tall!!
"Momma plant" is in pretty good shape and I saved 13 babies!!! (3 are RIP in a compost bin) One of the babes is a good size. I don't know if the smaller plants will be ok but I guess I have a couple three christmas gifts and some future plants for my sale!! Of course I got pretty muddy but that ok.

You can't garden and not

Congratulations on the "new additions!" I love it when you can divide plants or grow them from cuttings or something. It's like getting something for nothing (except for pots, soil, fertilizer, labor, etc....
)

But I "make" my own soil-I screened 11 wheelbarrow loads of compost in the past week. But I'm done until spring as where I was excavating the stuff on top finally fell down-more room to toss stuff now!!
I hauled the plants in my garden shed temporarily but I snap a picture and post.
