Well, 1st pic is A Noid, 2nd is Flower Shower, and the third is a noid, also, but I'm thinking "truly", so I'm growing a test plant to check. As far as amendments, alfalfa pellets and my "blend" of fertilizer( 1/2 of 10-10-10, and 1/2 triple super phosphate 0-45-0), and an occasional spray with a very light mix of Miracle Grow ( about every 10 days I spray fungicide, and I put a bout a 1/2 dose of MG in the mix, as well). The little guys like it here, especially well, much more so than the TBs. I think they like the cooler weather a little ,and do well in it. When the big ones come along, with more heat, the leaf spot seems to really affect them, as well as wind, hail, etc. The little guys just go dormant through the worst of that kind of crap, bounce back in late summer, make a bunch of increase (and some even re-bloom !)and are all set for the next spring. I think Lucy has me about converted !! Sticking tongue out ...Arlyn
