Anyone have experience with 'em?
Comments (0)Due to my frantic busy-ness to finish my final work for my computer graphics course AND then my getting a horrible virus complete with a high fever and very sore throat, I was not able to water my garden as often as I wanted to for the past month. Heck, I barely SAW my garden most days, just coming home and running for the computer to get more work done. And I'm just beginning to recover from that nasty virus. With the high temps we had, the denizens of my coir-lined elevated Garden Kitten wire basket became crispy critters. Bye bye purple petunias and pink calibrachoas, you will be missed. Sunken into my garden is a pot left by the 99 cent store junkie Chinese neighbors (they moved out and a very nice Chinese couple moved in), planted with Ruby Mantle sedum and Angelina, both succulents and therefore drought-resistant. THEY are trying to sneak out of their pot and become ground cover, which I do not want. The elevated spot in the Garden Kitten basket would therefore be ideal. But their pot is too big for the wire basket. Therefore, I was thinking of trying one of those new fabric pots, some of which are in very pretty colors, because hopefully it would be flexible and could be snugged under the wire Kitten face. Does anyone have any experience with these fabric pots? Could I leave the succulents outside for the winter as I did in their ceramic pot? Thanks for any info!...See MoreDoes anyone have experience with fabric pots?
Comments (4)Well, I see them to be more like fabric not mesh, like Smart Pots. They are absolutely wonderful !! Great aerated roots!! Now, they do dry out faster! Plants are almost easier to get out of them since the pot itself is bendable. If roots come through bottom just soak the whole pot for 15 m prior to transplanting as you would a plastic container or/ root ball/ to loosen and moisten them happy roots . And some plants such as cacti and succulents tend to go in the ceramic /hard material containers, but I don't see why you couldn't use a breathable container anyways....See MoreDoes anyone have any experience with Dianthus "Starburst"?
Comments (1)Starburst has performed well for me. It lived in a pot for the first year or two, and then it was transplanted to the ground about 3 years ago. It is supposed to be hardy down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit according to the tag. It gets a great flush of bloom in the spring but has never repeated very well aside from a scattering of flowers in the fall. However until this past fall it was in semi-shade from a tree which was removed in Oct., so I'm hoping for better repeat this year. As a ground cover, it makes a lovely small patch of bluish-green. I love the fragrance as well. Subtle and clove-like. Reminds me of Necco wafers. I don't have any good photos, but here is one during its spring flush....See MoreKris
