Slerks Help Out in the Garden Part 2

Last time the slerks put together the log planter and filled it with soil. It was time for the really fun part.

Flowers

The slerks were very excited to check out the flowers we bought for the planter. We used Marigolds, Verbena, Petunias, Alyssum,  and Geraniums.

Checking Out the Flowers

They looked closely to be sure we had picked out perfect flowers.

Watering

It is important to water the plants in their pots before planting. This slerk helped out with the watering.

Decide where to put the plant

Here is a slerk deciding where to put the next plant.

Dig a hole

Then a hole has to be dug for planting.

Remove the plant from the pot

Slide the plant out of the pot gently.

Slerks like teasing the roots a bit to loosen them before planting in the prepared hole. The plant needs tucked in firmly, but not too hard.

Admire your work

The slerks are admiring their hard work after the new plants were watered again.

 

I hope that you enjoyed the slerks’ garden adventure. You can see more of my work here Woodland Whimsy or here Woodland Whimsy Facebook.
