Gita, great pics. Your plants are doing great! Wow! How did you even keep that hanging basket alive through the summer heat!

My garden has been completely neglected with me working away from home this year. The sunny side of the garden was scorched in the summer and the shady side has grown into a jungle. This picture is just about the only thing I can show. This area gets a few hours of sun in mid morning when the sun is between the the house and the trees and a few more hours of sun in late afternoon when the sun comes around the house. I have both sun and shade plants here. They seem to be doing ok.

About taking Coleus cuttings, which section of the plant do you use? The tips are very tender. Do you use them? Or do you use the middle section? I tried and failed last year and would like to try again this year.
