Corey, With all of the beauties you have, even your "not so nice" versions look WAAAAY better than mine. 🤣Let's see...I killed a BEAUTIFUL Fuchsia in less than one season this year. YEs, I know, she's a shade plant, was in shade most of the time. However, if I didn't water her every 30 seconds...she started to lose her flowers and dry up. She is now a pile of twigs on my planting table. I have to take her out of her pot soon so I can reuse it. It makes me a bit sad because She was SUPPOSED to attract hummingbirds, she reminded me of my beautiful trip to Ireland last Summer, and she was pet friendly. Imma MAYBE try again sometime because I think really a hanging basket w/good drainage was perhaps NOT right for her. Also, the menfolk in my family were just doing a nice thing and washing the eaves of our house when on their July 4 vacation week, eaves are now clean, Nearly all my plants in my front yard beds however are bleached beyond recognition or have acquired burning so bad they are turning black and curling up. I am trying my darndest in this central Florida heat to save them though. I grew most of them from seed or they were ones my hubs very recently purchased for me. Ahhh the chaos of Garden life. it's what makes it so fun as well as challenging though. Other deaths this year in my plant family, Most ALL my tomatoes went out due to some sort of blight situation or perhaps the fusarium wilt, all of my dwarf sunflowers (to be fair were in one of the tomato beds so this may have affected them also), nearly every last one of my Nasturtium's I must have planted about 30 or more. Plant Nasturtiums they say, they will attract pollinators they say, they will add so much color and beauty to the garden, etc... not mine. Not in pots, not in ground, not in a mound, nowhere have I found that I can grow these! So tomorrow, what am I doing? Planting more Nasturtiums...I REFUSE to give up. I mean they were so lovely I have like 12 varieties of seed so I may as well try to grow the little plant skeletons for an early Halloween themed yard...🤣
