    It's been awhile since I've been on here but I've been really busy. Container gardening worked out great for us. We've eaten all the radishes, lettuce, spinach, sugar peas and beets. Still have cucumbers, eggplant, bell peppers, chili peppers, jalopenos and of course TOMATOES! Watering plants morning and night because it's been so hot! Still have more weed eating to get done, as you can see in the Castorbean pictures. I think I planted too many things! :setf_049:

    Love the coleus.They are favorites of mine. Only veggies we grow in pots are cukes.They do great. Only way we can keep them watered.
    We are soo dry here. Haven't watered the tomatoes,yet.Soon as the daylilies are about through we are going to water tomatoes.

    I love the colour variations of your coleus. We can only grow them as house plants here in the UK.

    I love the sweet potato leaves! It's worthy growing just for the foliage! Nice garden.

    okietriker, Gees, one of my favorite plants are Coleus and I almost never grow them in my flower garden. I must remember to do that next year as they are stunning plants. Thank you for making me remember things in the past.

    Yours are so beautiful.
