Your garden is beautiful Suzanne! Hopefully mine will turn out as awesome! I'm slowly getting things together for the 'jungle' bed. There will be 8 sections to it and today I guess I'll start sticking pots in one of the sections as you suggested and see how it fits together and then plant in the ground. Thanks for the encouragement! Your probably right that once I do start planting it will get easier.
Here are some pictures of the area .. a friend and I cut and secured most of the timbers this past Sunday. The 2nd picture is of a corner of an old Gazebo thingy that got torn up in the wind .. each corner will have one and I'm going to plant hardy climbers on it like the Trichosanthes and Gloriosa Lily and annuals like the Snail Vine and Corkscrew Vine. I'm thinking about putting a Brugmansia in each section and for plants like the Tropical Hibiscus that won't survive in Winter I'll just bury the pots so I can take them out in fall and put them in the greenhouse. I have lots of Elephant Ears, 4 kinds of Gingers, Canna, Caladiums. I'll need to find out which ones are hardy in my zone.
