thanks Pirl
I keep forgetting to water those containers.
I always just head to the deck in the back off the kitchen where most of the containers are.
This is what I see from where I camp on the dek

I don't head to the front often enough either, Jo Ann. I've made it easier now by just putting out a sprinkler in the courtyard and leaving it on for an hour at a time, moving it to get the attached brick planters so I'm not standing in the hot sun watering.

I was talking about Zuzus, but yours are lovely too Jo Ann. I just was really attracted to the purple color.

Where did you get the collection Jo Ann?

Hi Pirl!!! finally I have some time to look for your posts... I miss you woman!!!

I still have a lot of grass to kill... can't believe it... but I also do some containers...
I am still very dumb regarding gardening... this year I planted 5 hydrangeas, and definitely added perennials as companions for the roses trying to fill in the spaces I left when I planted roses... can't extend my beds... but I amo ok with that...
I also used pine needles as mulch. The roses like it... so glad.
