This is my first time ever planting a garden and to be honest I figured I would kill everything (I can't keep spider plants alive for the life of me!) but thought I would give it a try. I think I am doing ok, in fact my grandson calls it my jungle! lol

OK, maybe not everyone is as exicted as I am when something fruits that you just weren't sure would. But I have baby lemons on my Myers Lemon Tree🍋. I bought it last summer and have had it in the house over the winter. It bloomed late winter/early Spring and now I have found a few baby lemons. So excited to see how this little experiment continues to grow and surprise me. I do have it in about a 2 gallon container at this point. We'll see how long it goes before I have to give it a larger pot. In the meantime, I am dreaming of fresh squeezed lemonade.😋

So, being tight on my budget, and yet, still love to do gardening, found some ways, based on research and strategies that I implemented to get better pots for my plants. Some of the better ways could be... ♻️ Repurpose plastic boxes, and even, paint cans to create pots for large plants. You can carve plastic bottles to make small pots for your plants. or, 🪴Buy used pots from nursery (just to check for any damages before buying). They are cheaper to buy, or maybe, 🤝 Request your neighbors to borrow any pots, if they are having some spares. If there are any suggestions to save budget in having flower pots, feel free to share.
