HELLO FELLOW GARDENERS!!!

HELLO FELLOW GARDENERS!!!

Here we are  enjoying the sound of rain!! In a few days all your plants will reap the benefits of a good dose of H2O!!!! If you have already planted your annuals , then the weekend could be a good time to fertilize with a Miracle- Gro product . Water soluble is a good way to go with a gradual warming trend into the first week of June. Your plants will be drinking up these nutrients and showing off their talents 1-2 weeks out!
I've been busy planting for the past few weeks, decorating walkways /pool-sides /patios /& doorways with wonderful annual combos....Here are 'Garden Pot 'recipes: 


"Hot Stuff" Croton,deep purple Petunia,Potato vine,&Lantana
                  Mandevilla vine,Lantana, Diplodema
                  Hibiscus(tree/shrub) Petunia, Scaevola/Vinca Vine 


"Cool Containers" Caladium,Coleus,Ivy,N G Impatiens
                              Kimberley Fern, Ivy,Coleus
                              Begonia,Ferns(experiment w/varieties)Vinca
                              
Experiment always , but, be aware of growth patterns ! Some plant material like the Mandevilla n' Kimberley Fern can grow quickly , doubling their root ball....Sooo, pot size n' shape is important....Have fun ...no mistakes when you're working with Mother Nature!!!!   Thank you ...Your Garden Coach , Susan
