Now all I have to do is get motivated ...

One good thing is that the previous occupants of this apartment left lots of pots of all sizes and NOT terracotta, so I have no excuse, really, not to start 'horticulturing'.

They also left all the earth in the pots and planters, which I shall have to dispose of somehow as it must have little or no nutrients left in it by now.

Guess I can emulate the prisoners in those old films about prison escapes, when they dug tunnels under the prison, stuffed the earth down their trousers then walked around the exercise yard dribbling it out a little at a time from the bottom of their trews lol

OR .. I can just bag it up and dump it in the bin outside :D
