Kash and Sevan returned to Mrs J ready to move her plants into terracotta pots. Since their last visit, pots, compost and tools that they'd ordered had been delivered, with the pots and compost having a smooth delivery 📦📦📦.

Mrs J was in an upbeat mood and had a positive story to tell about the more complicated tool delivery too. She'd been out when the driver had come and there was no one else in the block to open the outside door. Luckily, he'd come back to redeliver the tools that evening in his own time when he was visiting a friend nearby. What a nice guy! 🤩

Mrs J also had big plans for her plant pot garden 🪴🪴🪴. She began to tell Kash and Sevan about the spring bulbs that would be coming soon and the stories behind the plants in each pot. The GoodGymers had big, probably unrealistic plans too... to repot Mrs J's plants and leave on time so that they could make it to their next mission!

Kash and Sevan tried to get the first transplant defined so that they could get going. They were to move Mrs J's uncle's plant that was 40 years old into it's new pot. It had been in it's pot so long that it'd gotten a pot extension, with another one underneath filled with soil, allowing the roots to grow through.

As the GoodGymers kept focused on their task, the old plants that'd been in the same pots for decades tried to disrupt their plans. Some of them needed their pots to be cracked open - with a satisfying snap - to free the plants and the roots. There were other distractions too, with gems to be found in the old pots as shiny plastic beads appeared from the soil and angels were found hiding between the leaves.

With the clock running down, all of the priority plants, the geraniums, money plant, shamrocks and the uncle's plant had all been transplanted to pots that Camden Council didn't deem to be combustible 🔥. The inspection is in a few days and hopefully Mrs J passes with flying colours. There's more repotting to do too to prepare Mrs J's garden to be in bloom in spring 🌷.
