An intruder from Las Vegas. I can only watch and yearn. Every once in a while I try something and if it is in the right spot it works. I have a couple of questions and, of course, a few comments.
Singingwolf, ahnd SoCal., what is the ground cover under the saliva and unknown iris?
For Soilsandup, I enroll and finished a very expensive course with a very famous photographer, (Sucker). and he said you should always take photos of flowers and foliage up close. The closer the better. Take four. Take one up as close as you can focus and then step back one step each time until you have completed four. I also take a long shot just to show them what the total plant looks like.
KaperC. I had the same problem under my fig tree & African sumac. I was wandering through Lowes at a store I usually do not shop at. I came in the main entrance and left through the garden entrance/exit. There on the patio area on clearance were fiberglass fishponds. 42" across and about/ tapered 12 inches to 40 inches deep. They can be painted any color your want. They were something I fell immediately in love with and purchased 4 on the spot. They were marked down to $75.00. I should have purchased all 10 because the next day I shopped at my usual Loews and they were priced at $119.00. I returned to the prior Lowes and they had been marked up to the same price. I guess it was obvious when I got too excited. Dumb gardener!!!! They are fiberglass and I have purchased over 30 so far. Just purchased the last two my normal Lowes had. No they are not in my garden. Only 5. The rest are in landscapes that I help rehab for free., They pay for the planters, potting mix and all the plants and I just help them. It is so much fun rehabbing a disaster into water efficient and beautiful landscape. My granddaughter is using one to grow a garden. I have two rehabs using them for herb gardens. I use two as holding garden for internet plants that are not ready to be planterd into the real world. I know ENOUGH....Up close photos and fiberglass pot to follow.
