This area where I'm using all my tropicals is at the base of the "hill of my discontent" I've spoken of earlier. It's a perfect spot for them because the soil is rich and stays moist, and I get pretty good sun there. I had the project planned, but quit my job in spring, so I proceeded with the project determined not to spend a dime on it. I used cardboard and straw to tame the wild vegetation and am growing several things in pots there so I would'nt have as many weeds to contend with. I'm not minding the wild growth as a background for the tropicals as it lends to the jungle effect. I plan to gradually work my way up the hill until I have it tamed.

This is part of the jungle with Colocosia 'Black Magic'.
