So far this year I've killed a small 6-pack of phlox (I thought they were indestructible, but evidently not!) and four small citronela geraniums (the mosquitoes should be very happy). I think I overwatered the phlox and the geraniums probably starved to death (nutrient-deficient soil). Lesson learned: the soil in the small pots from the big box stores is not sufficient to support plant life. Now my new el-cheapo electronic soil tester is being used on everything "just in case."
It's bad when the plants at the nursery try to hide when I approach so they don't get picked to go to my house (short life expectancy)...
