Haven't posted for a few days because I'm working on a garden in Manhattan, trying to finish up with the planting before the first frost. Hope to have pictures soon. Until then, check out this hanging container I planted with two types of sedum that I rescued from a rooftop on West 77th street. Sedum is a succulent and it loves full sun but these had been in old pots, sitting on a hot blazing rooftop for years. The soil was gummy and slick and it was infested with bugs. The plants were screaming for help. I took them out of their prison, soaked them in clean water to get rid of the bugs, added new soil, fertilized and replanted them in this antique horse feeder. They are now retired in the country which they deserve after such a hard beginning. This shot was taken in July.
