Soldier Down!
July 23, 2009
I think its dead. All and all most of the new plantings in the Spa Garden are doing quite well despite the heat. This Phormium is the only causality. (I am a bit worried for the Loquat tree though, every afternoon it looks a little sad.)
Spa Garden finished!
July 12, 2009
Well, just as the Africa hot weather settled into Austin for the summer we decided to install the spa garden. It has been about two weeks since installation and daily watering has kept most things alive.
Some of the things we planted: Bananas, Loquat, Coffee Cup Alocasia (this is a very cool plant!), Jatrophia, Ixora, Red Crinium, Copper-leaf Plant, New Zealand Flax (which is declining fast), A sad shrimp plant, creeping plumbago (I am very interested to see how this plant does in Central Texas), Mountian Pea, Black Sweet Potato Vine, Annual Vinca, and Dwarf Mondo. Its a pretty sizable plant list for such a small garden.
