This is a continuing series. All photos featured are from our city garden.
Last week I began the updates on our container garden. I introduced the three new plants that I recently added. I check on them daily and inspect for changes. Later, I will be watering the plants.
I began rearranging some of the containers last Sunday. So far, I got to finish a third of the garden. I plan to work on it weekly, so I could have a cleaner and more presentable look on the terrace.
I'm not a plant expert, so I honestly do not know what most of these plants are called. Mom started the garden, but apparently, she doesn't know how some of the plants came about. I would be happy if anyone could share more information on the plants I would be featuring here.
Some of the plants had branches that are tangled. I had to remove most and relocate some of the pots. I also had to trim dead twigs.
This is a weed plant that grew quite big. I'm not sure if I got the name right. You see, I took photos and then tried to search for the image on an app called lens. It said this was a serpentina plant. I do not know if that was accurate.
I had to remove a lot of the weeds that have invaded the original plants. Mom was not a meticulous gardener. She mostly just watered the plants daily. That truly went on for years.
I admit that I did not pay close attention to them either, as I was more concerned about work. I didn't think I had the time for gardening. So, what changed? Well, the great reset (lockdown) happened. It somehow paved the way for change.
Now, one third of the container garden looked neat. I even managed to take out some dried out plants that had been dead for a while. I guess the lockdown did give me a lot of thinking time. I figured I wanted a nicer and neater container garden.
I also realized that I shouldn't wait around till I have more time on my hands to do what I want. I actually needed to find the time and just do it.
I remembered I have a small utility saw that I bought some time ago. I used that to saw off the dead plants, so I could reuse the pots later on.
I have yet to remove the stump. I will definitely need more containers to transfer some of the soil. I was truly satisfied when my scheduled work was done. I'm looking forward to working on the next part of our container garden. Stay tuned for more updates next time.

Hey @iamraincrystal. Nice work on the garden. That does not look like a serpentina (indian snakeroot) plant to me. I'll have a look around and see if i can identify them for you.
