Very cool! You have done well with them to get them to blooming size so fast.

Token you are having such a great year in your gardens everything is so beautiful..Them plants love you..Happy friday

Thanks. Not sure why I haven't had more problems. I gave them decent soil, watered them once in a while during our 4 week dry spell, and fertilized a couple times with 10-10-10 around the root zone. I did Miracle Grow them once, and a couple got it twice. I've had only a few slug issues and some little green caterpillars that I hand picked. I don't spray anything, but do keep a bottle of red hot chili sauce and Murphy's Oil Soap under the kitchen sink just in case. They get sun til about 2pm (the Ecuadors) then full shade the rest of the day. All told, maybe 4 hours of sun thanks to the trees in the backyard. I'm very happy with them. I was wondering a couple weeks ago if it was worth it, growing them, that is. I bet in another two weeks I won't have any doubts. :)

Oh nice prospects there! Can't wait to see them opened. I was noticing for the first time looking at the buds that you could almost imagine them being beans, or okra hanging off the trees. I know, weird, huh?

You did a great job with such little effort. I have killed many little rooted seedlings I do not want to count.

You must have a loving garden hand.
