A pretty big Lilac basal shoot (with roots), after 13 months - it is an independent and healthy plant now. The tine basal shoot is also much bigger now, I will share the photos tomorrow. Rainy day, nothing too special in the garden - but I repotted some seedlings to bigger pots. Then, DH and...

I used garden soil in one of the containers, but just received the aqua soil today. The first one did cloud the water a bit, but I don't care about that too much. I saw different birds are drinking from it, so it works in the way it should, in my opinion.

It reminds me this song.
