What are the hours when the sun is shining on the spot in question?

Well with a face like that, it doesn't need it! Thanks!
Some kind of power fertilizer, as far as I can tell. Gramma told me to put banana peels under rose bushes, and man it makes them bloom great! So...

That would be awesome! Two of these things are ending their 3rd summer in this yard with no sign of buds yet, only about 15-18" tall. Can't...

That's probably the best show this plant has to offer, whatever it is, some kind of Amaranth maybe. Unless you want to attempt to find an...

A few thoughts to keep things in perspective... Garden chemicals did not exist until very recently, in terms of history. They are not...
What is different the past couple days? Does the pot have a drain hole?
More than a month after doing the first, I like them so much and they're doing so well, I've done more of these... [img] Mixed pot ( photo /...
