Those were looking good. Not the ones you have pictures of above. Karen, so sorry you are having trouble. I remember you hanging pots from last year, just beautiful. I though yours were looking good? I think it's the crazy weather. So many of my coleus are just stems with small leaves here. We are having a different problem, just not enough heat. My Kiwi fern is almost naked. I'm only going to take cuttings of the ones that did well this year. They must be more cool hardy. Many of the lime green ones I had just croaked with the cold summer. We only got a few days of 80 but summer is not over yet.

They just wouldn't grow. In this horrid heat, the bacopa needed tons and tons of water. That was rotting the coleus in the same pot. The impatiens fried... they were looking awful, not to mention a pain to try to maintain. Compost food!

Our temps have been in the 90 to 100° range all summer, with little rain. My area is a severe drought area.

Thanks. Me, too.

Karen
