We moved from San Diego to Irvine.......with us moved our container garden.......
In the previous house, the pots were in the balcony, which did not get enough sunlight....so it often caused water logging, fungal attack, and bug infestation....blooming was few and far between......even I lost my caladium, vinca, portulaca, marigolds, mums, mint, strawberry, a rose, a mandevilla vine...
So, when we saw this house with a big enough porch getting ample sunlight...I envisioned immense prospect and we sealed the deal......
Now a week-into this house....the garden is established......
Apart from the old plants....I got some new plants........
Calla lily........
Purple mini rose.....
Red geranium........
Coreopsis.....
Hydrangea.....
Asiatic lily.........
Portulaca......
Petunia.........
The garden looks pretty interesting....with most of them blooming......
Birds are visiting..........song sparrow, mourning dove.......
I have some spare pots, which I am planning to fill with some more colorful plants...
Gardening indeed is the other name of 'hope'...and despite getting soiled and encountering earthworms, larvae, aphids......its so much therapeutic.....
Will update on the garden progress shortly........
