How can I improve the appearance of my garden? (I slowed down but I didn’t stop. The heat and humidity drove me indoors!!) Earlier, I sat in my lawn chair and considered alternatives. Next time I shop at Lowe’s, I’ll purchase a thirty-gallon black plastic trash can ($15.88) for the planter for the Cape Honeysuckle. I won’t transplant it until late Fall or Winter. (I’m restricted to container gardening.) Large planters are extremely expensive so the trash can is a good idea (IMHO). Over the next few months, I’ll toss pine cones in the bottom because they make excellent drainage material. Miracle-Gro soil from planters–where plants expired from Texas heat–will go into the trash can. (I recycle, LOL!!)
