30+ Container Garden April Update – Florida Renter's Garden Tour

After I was done recording I took a minute to look at all the exciting new growth and thought “thank goodness I don’t have to water all this” and proceeded to ponder how long it would take me to water all 30 something of these containers by hand if I didn’t have my automatic watering system set up. Crazy!

I’ll be sharing a more detailed update on my roses here soon, so make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss out 🙂
