Virginia creeper jumping out of the ground now two weeks after planting. The shoots are leaning against the masonry, no sign of roots digging in for the climb.
Clear skies projected for the next few days. Watered and showered everyone off. Need to research plumeria's water needs. Too much makes for yellowing leaves soon to fall?
Watching the garden everyday, growth for some seems very very slow, for others like the passion fruit or the creeper so agressive it's a little disconcerting. The bowls of rhizomatous are excruciatingly slow. I want them to be large domes of leaves-- maybe next fall, though that will be perfect for next years bloom period.
Time to plant Little Red, clay or moss-lined pot the big decision. The Thompson's grew their begonia's in greenhouses, the best results coming from moss-lined pots. I do not have the luxury such a controlled environment to keep moss pots from drying out during the day. Too hot down here.
