Post #3599106

I was broken into late last summer (3 times in 6 weeks-same kids who are gone now) and I just completely gave up dealing with my patio, plants and all. I let everything go to pot. The only thing I did was bring in my brugmansia for the winter.

Well, I bought some hosta liners and potted them up. The only place for me to put them was the patio. I went out and started cleaning up, broken glass, neighbors trash (renting town home type apartment), plant debris, dirt etc. The pots had clover and weeds all in them. The only survivors I had were the Heuchera Palace Purple, a green heuchera and the daylilies. I poked around all of the other pots and found the desicated husks from glads, lilies, dahlias and caladiums. So...I get to start from scratch!
It did feel good to go out there and not be upset. I feel kind of bad that I let things go but everytime I went out there I could feel my heart rate go up and got a kind of helpless feeling--I imagine it was some kind of form of depression. Glad That's over with:LOL:
