Sometimes I think the seed turns into a rock just to spite me. I have, however, managed to keep some aloe vera and a rose bush alive thanks to those handy glass bulb thingys that allow for slow, as-needed watering. Also, my cat regularly "prunes" my rose bush for me.Never A Plain Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663921921684385606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-87280950275509622732010-05-05T07:44:48.964-04:002010-05-05T07:44:48.964-04:00As a landscape designer I think you did a great jo...As a landscape designer I think you did a great job with plant selection for your shady site! Just make sure you're giving them water and fertilizer or compost to keep them fat, full and blooming all summer long! You can pinch the coleus back when they start to bloom to keep them fatter and fuller. Enjoy!
