spidra's The Waiting Room garden

Garden Type: Container | Sun: Don't Know | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

Plants that are waiting to find a permanent home in my yard. Since I’m disabled, I can’t do the serious digging required to plant trees and bushes. Sometimes, I can’t even dig for a small plant.
