Some of the garden tasks for this spring includes up-potting the various cutting, seedlings, new and last-year plants.
I collected many volunteer Black Diamond heirloom watermelon seedlings popping up in the yard to give away.

Unboxing: Wildseed Farms, Johnny’s Seeds and Strictly Medicinal
Craving more Cosmos, I picked up large packets of seed at Wildseed Farms, along with some other annuals I hope will germinate well.

A Succulent Planter
Here’s another look at that succulent planter that I posted over on IG. It’s a mixed of old rescues and newly purchased plants sourced from various box stores as well as local nurseries Denton Plant Factory and Four Seasons Nursery.
| Sempervivum |
| Sedum makinoi ogon |
| Petrosedum rupestre Blue Spruce |
| Petrosedum Lemon Coral |
| Echeveria Dark Moon |
| Sedum nussbaumerianum Firestorm |
| Sedum clavatum |
| Sedum lineare Variegatum |
Of course, there are still many succulents sitting in the tent and on the patio waiting on new homes. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the aeonium and echevaria I received from Annie’s Annuals earlier this month.
