I really want a green thumb. I’ve tried to have flowers and plants, but I just don’t have the touch. Sure, they bloom and do okay with little interference from me, but other than our perennials, I can’t seem to keep anything going. Ever since we moved into our house I’ve had ideas for adding flowers. I have yet to do it though. Thankfully, Brian’s grandmother planted hastas, tulips and daffodils while she lived here along with a few others that grow well on their own. I’m done with my excuses, this year I want to at least have some potted flowers decorating our front porch!
Since it is still early for most flower planting around here, I didn’t find as much inspiration at Home Depot as I thought I would.
Do I want to plant seeds?
Or do I want to repot some violets or geraniums?
I’m thinking I want to repot using Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro™ potting soil. I’ve used Miracle-Gro feed in the past and it seemed to help. This stuff is designed to help with moisture control. I am guilty of over AND under watering plants. The coconut coir fibers helps make sure the water is used efficiently and retains 50% more moisture than average potting soils. It releases the water when needed, keeping the water supply more even and steady.
I thought this was only for use in pots, but you can mix it with your ground soil to lessen the density and improve your garden’s soil for years. Fruit and vegetables grow up to three times, it expands up to three times when water is added and it feeds your plants for six months. This is some hard working planting soil!

I am so excited to start gardening this year! We are going to be doing most of ours from seeds (already started them.. just need to get them in the ground and planters!).
Planting really is very interesting! :) Thanks for sharing some great tips on planting.. Keep me updated!

I am really trying for a garden this year, so this would be great
I like to use miracle gro for my indoor plants. It’s a product I learned to use from my mother.
This will be my first year to try growing container veggies-would love to try Miracle-Gro Expand n Gro for them!
I’d love to try these.
I have 1 little planter this would be awesome for…
I would love to have a sample. My poor husband is the butt of jokes since we moved to PA. He always tries to “jump start” the season and mostly he has to replant. This might help the poor boy. Thanks!

I really like the original Miracle-Gro and I’d love to try this. I have a couple of things that need to be repotted soon.
I love to garden I’ve started all my plants from seeds or bulbs its great the feeling after planting and watering to see the sprouts. The extra work is only daunting if you don’t feel the rewards. I love the look and smell of amazing flowers. I also love the taste of food freshly picked that I’ve helped to grow and flourish.
Can’t wait to start my garden. Have not tried this product but am going to check it out. Thanks for the chance.
