My daughter gave me two tomato plants,
one she grew herself from seed.
It's called Pink Boar and
is supposed to be very juicy.
The bigger one in the back is from
Natureworks but without a tag.
It will be a surprise!
That nifty new raised planter is
self-watering with rolling casters
and a black mesh mulch cover
made by Emsco Group.
The smaller plants are basil,
one of which my daughter
raised from seed also.
After we assembled the patio garden bed,
we turned to the old self-watering planters
nearby. The leaves of the Mandevilla vine
have turned yellow. I read that happens when
the roots are too wet. I noticed that the bottom
of the planter was still full of water from heavy
rains two weeks ago. So Larry got a plastic
tube and siphoned some of that water out.
Maybe this will take care of the
standing water and the yellow leaves--
or not! We'll see in a few days.
I've never had this problem before
and I've used the white pots for
several years successfully.
