Dawne's Spring Garden Prep Tips

1. Clean garden tools and check your gloves, hats, etc
2. Plan what will go in each pot and label once the soil is prepared
3. Prepare the soil by adding rocks at the bottom for good drainage, then mix half top soil, a quarter potting mix, lots of vermiculite, tiny pebbles or volcanic soil, and worm castings
4. For inside plants, bring the soil inside so it doesn't mold or mildew
5. Fill the bottom of large pots with capped, empty soda bottles to make the pot lighter and easier to move around, then a little rock, then soil
6. It is good to prepare the soil early so it can settle into crevices, especially with the large pots
7. When it is close to time for digging in, shake large pots to ensure the soil has settled.

🌿 Poison Ivy’s Deadly Green Thumb! 🌿

Plants aren’t just beautiful—they can be powerful, too! One of the most famous plant-loving characters in pop culture is Poison Ivy from DC Comics. As a botanist-turned-eco-terrorist, she uses plant-based powers to control nature, release toxic spores, and even summon giant vines! 🌱💚

Whether she’s protecting the planet or causing trouble for Batman, Poison Ivy proves that plants can be both deadly and mesmerizing.
