Comments (45)Rosemarie -- thanks, I will go introduce myself in "The Face Returns" thread once I get myself organized around here (gotta find a good mug of myself, hah!). And the overgrowth and spiderwebbing happens to my plants all the time, but I do love a good "spring cleaning" now and then where I pick out the weeds and repot and give my plants a nice trim. Pennyhal -- oh, I know all about the "I'll just buy this one plant" because I get sucked in all the time! I'm more of a "growing things from seed" rather than buying ones from a store, but I always, always end up with way more plants than I can take care of. Unfortunately, that usually means that they don't do so well if I get busy:(. I'm in the process of rebuilding my garden, so hopefully I'll be able to share pictures in a few months once they get going....See MoreClade? Whatever!

Comments (8)I read in a book recently that you shouldn't bed out species with large tuberous roots (like Operculicarya decaryi) if you plan on potting them later because they may not fit into a pot without some serious surgery. Have you found this to be a problem? I thought about burying a mesh basket under some plants to contain the larger roots. As for plants that may not do well in ground, I remember Pachypodium being recommended for containers, so I'll leave those out. Do any of these jump out as bad ideas for the raised bed?
