I'm in to cool off..so ck'ing to see what's going on. I have to say, in spite of the heat, I have had a very good day! Moving pots, making a give-away pile for the neighbors, and just stopping to smell what's left of the roses!
Glad I'm not the only one who feels overwhelmed by obligations at times.
Petalpants, I think you nailed it for me...I read your post about combining plants in pots...and that's on the list for tomorrow! Great idea. I try not to do that because of flower shows, as usually the judges prefer single plants. But now that that's over, I think I'll make some coooool pots and baskets, combining things. As for plumerias...I planted some of my taller ones in ground, and will dig 'em up in the fall and store them in the garage w/bare roots. We get a lot of wind up on this hill and plumerias have a better chance of standing upright in ground, than in pots.
I can now let someone in the back gate/side yard.....they just can't go around the house to the backyard yet....
Baby steps...
