More Gardening With A Spoon And A Drill

I live in a relatively tiny flat. So my garden has to be on a similar scale. A while ago, about three years in fact, I got some tiny miniature cactuses in six little pots, each about the size of my thumb. Some time after this, I felt sorry for them, so I made some new pots for them from some old tea cups I had lying around.

Now, to make a teacup into a pot for a plant, it needs a hole in the bottom so the water can drain. This can be easily achieved - if you have a drill and a drill bit specificity for Masonite. I have such a drill bit! The first time around, I used my dad's hand drill, with some success. And some bruising.

This time, I borrowed a cordless drill from one o' the members of my family. Even so, there was this one bastard of a cup which drained the battery when I tried drilling through it. I'd already made something of a dent in it last time around, but damn, they made that little cup with the flowers pretty damn tough.

Anyway, made me at least three new pot plant cups, and repotted the three little cacti into separate cups so they'd stop crowding each other. To quote Deb "How fucking cute!!!!"
