I think potted plants at an entrance always add so much and say "welcome to our home".<br />I am anxious to get to that point, but it's still 6 - 8 weeks away for us. I guess I'll have to be content to watch you putter around in the dirt for awhile, but I sure am extra antsy this year to get going. I think it's the result of having weather since Christmas that feels more like March than winter.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814727241205425482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-62913583846969138762020-02-09T14:55:53.434-08:002020-02-09T14:55:53.434-08:00The Pericallis transformed its color since I put i...The Pericallis transformed its color since I put in in that shaded spot by the door, a response to increased shade or perhaps a drop in the temperature. Now I have a better understanding of why it was called 'Magic Salmon', which really hadn't made sense to me before.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-15131662794879138782020-02-09T14:52:14.034-08:002020-02-09T14:52:14.034-08:00Or more Mangaves!Or more Mangaves!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-81458774171772681602020-02-09T08:29:50.913-08:002020-02-09T08:29:50.913-08:00That Pericallis 'Senetti Magic Salmon is simpl...That Pericallis 'Senetti Magic Salmon is simply stunning! :)Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-79586999930424677012020-02-09T08:28:54.736-08:002020-02-09T08:28:54.736-08:00Very nice!

I've used moss, coconut fiber and coconut fiber covered in landscape fabric. The last worked the best but it wasn't the most attractive option. Maybe if I wait until nesting season is over or resort to plastic pots...
