[IBC] repotting
As usual (!) I didn't make up enough soil. I mixed two large
paint buckets full of soil this winter. Surely that would be enough. This wasn't to be a big repotting year, after all. But I still have my largest -- a boxwood -- to repot and I'm soilless. So back to the mixing table. :-( I had to repot a couple that I hadn't planned for; pots broke sometime over the winter. Don't know when -- or why; it was a VERY warm winter, with fewer than a half dozen below-freezing nights (but seven gazillion unpleasant, cold, gray, rainy days!). Aside from my boxwood, I still have my tiny trees to do -- haven't touched the bucket of fine soil yet, and I'll get a little more for it when I mix enough for the boxwood. This is the earliest that I've been "done." We still could have a freeze (March 16 is average last frost -- and we had a killer in April two years ago) but I really doubt it this year. Of course, I'll have at least one Satsuki to pot up sometime in May. Maybe two.
