rouge, I think you need to change your screenname from 'rouge21' to 'vert21' cuz you have one of the greenest thumbs I have ever seen!! Every photo you post of your garden or your containers shows vibrant, lush, healthy plants or a mass of flower color. You are obviously a very dedicated and skilled gardener to generate all these wonderful results. And especially with all the weird weather so many have been experiencing.

Well done! 😁

I agree with gardengal! Your garden photos are always wonderful!

I love sweet potato vine. Even with the heat and drought we've had, living in pots, it was a trooper as long as it got a bit of water every day. Now that the temps have dropped it's perking up and doing it's thing. Sometimes I think it's a common, overused annual, but hey, if it works and works well, I'm all for it!

@gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9) and @diggerdee zone 6 CT, you are very kind and supportive. Thank you.

as long as it got a bit of water every day.

Yes it does needs its water and it is way sensitive to cold temps.

Very pretty! Wow! Love the palette of colors. It's clear that your area does not have the moths that make SPV-eating caterpillars. They grow well but there are always tons of holes on SPV leaves here. I think the Begonia is the star of this show though.

There are a LOT of ways a container can be said to be successful. IMO, one of them is always if the container can't be seen. Check that box!
