Alot of work today. Pulled all pots away from walls swept up debris. I didn't scrub and wash, I'll try to get up very early tomorrow and scrub the decks.
Fed the gardenia, jasmine boxes, bamboo with Plant Tone. Citrus Tone on the orange.
I bought a beautiful old terracotta pot probably 26" rim with the face of the sun embossed on one side. it's surface is irregular and has mold on one side-- also bought a buxom passion fruit vine to put in it. I've been meaning to get another vine for the handrail. The jasmine is to spare, though it is blooming.
I've ordered 6 bare root virginia creeper to start getting the walls green $4 for 1'-2' plants from Cold Stream Farm. They have great prices. I'll need to find some reasonable rectangular planters for the to put at the base of the east and west walls where the vines will be planted.
Walking to the meeting tonight we ran across a clinging vine going up a townhouse's masonry wall with big stiff branches that looked too large to be held onto a vertical surface by roots alone- but it was. On the way home, broke off a piece and root toned it and stuck it with with false aurelia as a temp home. It looked like a wild thing covering the townhouse it was on. Maybe it will take off here too. .
