Not too bad, eh? The foliage color is terrific, similar to what I saw when I severely pruned back a W&R Weigela a few years back. However, the bloom count looks pretty low as you can see in the pic but that’s OK, I still view this a foliage first shrub.
I underplanted the Weigela with a few yellow/chartreuse Sweet Potato Vine plants so I hope once those take off, this little combo will look alright.
The only other unknown is whether or not the W&R will take on a pleasing shape in a container. It looks a little awkward right now but only time will tell.
The next item wasn’t a task, but an opportunity to enjoy the Salix (Dappled Willow) ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ I recently relocated after tossing a slowly dying Arborvitae. I friggin love this shrub and enjoy the foliage color when looking out the back door onto my deck:
Good times … assuming I can keep its size under control … but that is a story for another day.
The last task was to start planting some of the tomato/pepper/basil plants I bought last week. I am super fortunate to live right around the corner from Cross Country Nurseries which is a renowned seller of all things peppers/tomatoes/etc. I spent a good hour there last week roaming their greenhouses educating myself on their crazy amount of plant varieties. I vow to successfully grow tomatoes this year and now was the time to start that process and start it right.
As you know, I have a deer problem so keeping them away from any plant is a challenge. Growing tomatoes on the deck allows me to eliminate that issue. Now I just have to keep up with the watering and fertilization. Easier said than done.
I planted two cherry tomato plants – Sweet 100 and Isis Candy – and a pepper plant – Aji Habanero – in containers and now the fun begins:
I got so amped up, that I planted the rest of the tomatoes, peppers and basil in my raised garden bed, wet earth be damned:
So the herbs have been joined by tomatoes, peppers and basil. Sounds damn tasty to me! Now I just need to get on protecting them all from the deer and the jumpy f’n pesky and hungry rabbits.
Work is never done … but we love it, right?
Right?
Right?
