Four Pots Revisited - One Month Later

Here is an update on the four pots.  Some good progress, but some doing better than others.

The potato vine in this one hasn't taken off too much yet.  The fuschia is still alive, although it hasn't gotten any bigger.  It lives in the shady middle created by the plants around it.  It looks healthy, just small.


This potato vine, on the other hand, is going bonkers.  It gets more sun, which luckily hasn't struck down the caldiums.  The asparagus fern isn't doing much.


This is an interesting mix. Nothing has really taken off yet, but the cannas are coming up!

The front porch plant seems pretty happy.  The million bells are filling in and will hopefully come over the edge of the pot.  The lantana and coleus will have to hurry to keep up.

This pot is composed of everything that was left over.  The canna was planted squarely in the middle but as you can see prefers the outside edge of the pot.  At least it is present.

Four Pots

I tried to think of a clever title but nothing came to me.  For record keeping sake, I am posting "before" pics of my four pots I planted.  These are carefully planned, so we will track their progress to see if it does anybody than my usual random planting.

This one has fuschia in it so not sure how that will do.
Starting with already started caladiums:

This one has the farthest to go.  A canna in the middle will hopefully make an appearance.  The pot itself doesn't look too swell I see.
I think this is the one I'm most excited about.
