Thank you for what you said about petunias in the south. I was feeling like such a failure!

Plants in grow bags will typically root straight into the soil. Air pruning only works when the roots actually encounter air.
Plumbago is a perennial here in my zone 10 garden. Depending on the info you find online, it may be a perennial in zones as low as 5.

Some of my shrubs pretty much went dormant with the drought. Now that we are getting rain at least once a day, some shrubs have died. Or they look dead. Too much water too fast for dormant shrubs. But still, I am happy for the rain!!!

You garden looks beautiful. We have a fig tree that we keep trimmed and got a lot more figs the following year. It looks like you could thin out some branches in the middle. Just a thought, you might want to try.

That’s a good idea! I’d live to actually get some fruit.
