Thanks for posting all those lovely pictures, you have given me alot of great ideas. You have very happy & healthy plants

no problem.. can't wait to see all your photos as well!!

I enjoyed all your pics of flowers, all are so lovely. I never get tired of looking at pictures either. Most of my plants are in containers, mostly succulents and plumeria. Just starting with plumeria, hoping that they all are rooting. Love the fuschia and lantana, I really do need one of each.

thank you Pegi.. that little fuschia is a trooper.. I overwintered it inside and the poor baby fell to a mealy bug invasion.. I used merit & sprayed it with alcohol.. took me a few weeks to be rid of them.. the plant lost all it's leaves & I thought it was dead for sure.. since it started growing again I did it the service of a larger container

Allison do you know the name of that fuschia? I love the color contrast.

tags says "Happy Lights".. it's a compact one.. doesn't get big and huge .. can't even remember where I bought it to tell you the truth

It makes me sigh when I look at those two colors together.

it's not in my journal .. so I must have bought it local.. will go look if the grower is on the tag.. can always try a cutting for you

yeah it's local alright... from Rutgers U in NJ.. must have typoed the name.. it is in my journal

Thank you so much for the generous offer Allison, but I am going to stick with my one fuschia basket. See if I can get it through a second year. Still don't feel completely confident. But I really do admire Happy Lights.

no problem.. I am up to 4 of them.. see how it goes.. I have them in different areas to see if one spot is better than another

Very good idea. : )

well the plastic cage snapped in the storm last night.. guess the cherry tomato was too much for it to hold.. took out my container with glads & the one in front of it with the trellis ... cut off all the broken just now blooming glads and stuck em in a vase... just stuck a big stake in the cage to hopefully hold it up for now.. running out the door in a few mins

Oh no Allison. How sad. How long will you have the stormy weather?

supposed to be bad again today... flash flood warnings all over north jersey for today.. hopefully that will be the end of it.. I had a crazy week that's for sure

What a wonderful video Allison. Gives me a feeling of joy and peace. : )

It will be good to have the storm over and gone, hope it is soon.

I hear the rumbles just warming up now.. figured I would take photos before we get whacked.. just in case

Just be careful Allison.

well first one passed ok.. more to come
