@Lunatik4 thank you! I ordered shade screening to keep mine shaded during the summer. Iβll be staking in points to create a shade canopy since this area gets a lot of sun. Iβll be watching the sunβs trajectory to gauge the width when itβs needed.
@AnthuriumQueen That's a good idea, just like in nature. Love it!!π₯°πΏπ
@LaSiguanaba they should however they may do best in a pot. I plan to dig up the bulbs if I feel itβll get ok cold in Winter. I lost some beautiful cannas this past Winter because of the freeze we had up here. No one else felt it the way we did but we are up high so we have to have our own weather stations on our property to get βaccuracyβ.
@AnthuriumQueen I may have to look into this. I have regular a black stem elephant ear in my house, but itβs gotten so unwieldyβI need to repot it but Iβm scared because itβs so huge! π³ Iβm still pretty new to keeping plants. βΊοΈ
@LaSiguanaba youβve got this! Be fearless and theyβll love you for it!
@signorebean thanks! Itβs been a labor of love! This garden area has been ten years in the making since it was barren ranch land when we bought it. Turning it into a garden has been a task but definitely a rewarding one! So many bees and butterflies and birds that itβs definitely an oasis for me! I have several junipers that Iβll be turning into bonsais as they grow. I just thought if it this morning. π€·π½ββοΈπ₯³
