Thanks jroot the post from Poochella is the first one we printed out for the details.

I haven't fertilized enough this year - that might be the problem. I always envy Sharon's petunia containers, but she really works at them. One thing that did really well in a container this year was scaveola. I don't think i've had that before. I paired it with a heliotrope, but that never bloomed again after i cut it back the first time. I'm pretty sure that most of my container problems this year are my fault - i was busy for the first half of the summer and lazy for the second half! LOL Now, back to work. :(

I'd love to have you add names of plants that are looking good in your yard -- with pictures or not, either is appreciated. Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Texas Gallery post. Add to it ... :-)

Just beautiful, soupgirl! Your gorgeous countertop and backsplash look like they were made for each other. Congratulations!
