Nature, I'm gonna have to check out that 'Super Thrive' stuff you mentioned. I'm originally from Texas, where everything is bigger.
The arbor you asked about does indeed already have something growing on it. You just can't see it in the photo. And, frankly, I don't even know what it is, but it will cover the arbor and grow up and halfway accross the confederate jasmine I have growing atop the open air gazebo in the background.
The photo was just taken at 5PM and the tiny bright red flowers are starting to close up. What's so good about them is that, like portulaca, they are self-seeding. I love any plant that takes care of itself, and doesn't need my help to get going every spring. I think the proper term is "lazy".
