That crepe Myrtle is gorgeous soilsandup. I love the flower carpet it causes! Unfortunately DH doesn't!
I like the russian vine Terri! I've not heard of it before. Is it fragrant?
Candee, I plant my broms in a very free draining mix of large pearlite, large bark peices and potting mix with no fertiliser. Some plants don't acheive their foliage colour if they are fertilised, and it also makes soft foliage that burns easily. Of course, that doesn't apply to green leaved shade loving broms that send up flowers! The only time I fertilise is to encourage new pups after flowering.
This is some kind of water tank, with a tap at the bottom.
