CONTAINER GARDENING
Container gardening yields wonderful results throughout the year. Here is what we planted recently in just a few minutes in Chula Vista, California.
This window box outside our dining room window was planted last May. It did not thrive. It looked nice at first. We had hummingbirds (see photo). But after the initial bloom, we had just few more flowers. The location does not receive enough sun, just a few hours mid-afternoon.
We removed the tired geraniums and replanted shade tolerant red New Guinea Impatiens. Here is the result from just six 4-inch plants. Each cost $5.00 for a total of $30.00 plus tax. Easy!
Container gardening is done mostly standing up. You do not have to dig holes in hard native soil. The plants can be changed out as often you like to complement the seasons.
If you live in an area with cold winters Impatiens are not appropriate now. Shop your local garden center. The will have hardy Chrysanthemums, ornamental kale, and others to keep your containers looking their best well into November.
The photos here show:
1) Our geraniums at their best in early June with a visit from a hummingbird.
2) Our worn out geraniums prior to removal and the newly planted Impatiens on September 4.
3) The new Impatiens after just 12 days, September 16, 2020.
