It's like a weed on our property but it covers our ramada beautifully. As for the frost, I think the severe frost we had was a rare event, but I am still prepping for more frosty nights...but not the week long kind.:( That was terrible....moving pots into the shed was backbreaking!Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-12381654534113728952011-01-12T08:14:17.438-07:002011-01-12T08:14:17.438-07:00Repetition... some of us repeat plants because we ...Repetition... some of us repeat plants because we can keep 'em! When I find something that sustains, I want 20 more! Vincas for ground cover. Asparagus fern for blasts. Trumpet vines and cape honeysuckle for the hummingbirds. Grape vine and a pumpkin patch for us humans. And tomatoes and jalapenos in garden pots. You have given me hope that I can grow a wider array! <br />We bought several 'covering sheets' from the Goodwill again. Last year, we had fewer plants to cover. This year, our gazebo was stuffed full of 'portable' plants, and the vines grew like ghosts off the walls. But... it looks like our freezes are over??Brenda's Arizonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880225110712592548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-44442640100460365972011-01-12T03:18:07.631-07:002011-01-12T03:18:07.631-07:00Very cool ideas.

I have river rock placed all around the edge and inside this I have planted echeveria glauca. They are filling in nicely.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-5676265775024420262011-01-11T19:26:56.488-07:002011-01-11T19:26:56.488-07:00Thanks for this wonderful sharing.

They look all right but I often wonder if they would have been more impressive if grown together in one big patch. Would love to see your whiskey barrels. Wish I could get hold of them but I don't see them in my country.Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919719601969345138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-33235050305143932382011-01-11T16:47:30.387-07:002011-01-11T16:47:30.387-07:00Repetition in my garden: Turneras ulmiforme/diffus...Repetition in my garden: Turneras ulmiforme/diffusa/subulata. This concept when planned and revised continually, gives one's garden signature. It will separate it from the rest in remarkable ways.<br /><br />When the effect is achieved, it is moticeable when walking and observing shapes, forms. from different angles and distances.<br /><br />At any rate, if one is not pleased whatever could be relocated...That is the way I deal with mine.<br /><br />Good luck in your projects...and excellent post.antigonum cajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227233232030093487noreply@blogger.com
