Note to self....never let anyone talk me into a Mermaid Rose!
I'm just in to get cool and get more water. I ''hooped"' the back bed this past winter. 'Saved all my brugs from freezing. Unfortunately it saved all the shrimp plant too. It has grown like weeds...at least 3 ft tall in the beds and flopping over everything. I took some clippers to it and chopped it down to about 6''. Made a big difference in the way the fenceline looks too.... a little tamer. I have a few more days of cleaning up, but the backyard is starting to look better. I can walk on the paths without jumping pots. The back patio is clean and clear of little pots of this and that. Still have to find a place for the hibiscus to get some good sunlight. And then I can sit out there and swat mosquitoes in the 100+ heat!!!!
