One day I was moving a million plant pots around as I needed to do some work. I stuck all the extra potted plants along the 'shady' side of my mobile home - just to get them out of the way for a few days. Well, I got busy and forgot to move them back to their original locations; a new Pot Ghetto. And surprise, surprise - the plants were thriving.

When you sent the seeds for the experiment I decided to put the baby plants in the same sweet spot that made my other plants happy. The bright shade must be adequate because I have American Beautyberry, Fig, Mint, Mock Orange and quite a few assorted plants and all have flowered. Even one rosebush was happy there. There is a short time period when the mid- to late morning sun shines there, otherwise bright shade all day. The first photo is Sept 7, 2013, the second is Jul 9, 2014

You can see one of your sweet shrubs just to the right of the watering wand in the second photo.
