Well, my first solution was Home Depot. I got 3 large plastic terra cotta bowls similar to this one:
I'm going to start the succulents in these before transfering them to the ground. This will solve my immediate problem. Meanwhile, I can work on getting the rest of the backyard prepped for planting.
I will be
- Killing the small amount of grass in the yard
- Pulling up the brick area and separating the used brick from the new
- Creating planting beds and patio area with the brick
- Pouring gravel
- Clearing the side planters
- Planting herbs
Now, WHY is it so hot? I'm doing this on my own, which I don't mind, but the heat is gonna suck.
