Container Garden - Second Week of August


Container Garden - 8/8/2005

Damage from Friday's storm is readily apparent in this picture. The plant on the far right as well as the plant on the far left collapsed. They were pruned back heavily and restaked. Despite almost snapping in two, these plants seem to be doing okay now and continue to send up suckers.

Although difficult to see in the picture, the rearmost plant survived intact and is doing very well. Using bungee cords and fastening four stakes to the outside of the bucket, we've been able to fashion a makeshift cage, which provides plenty of structural support.
