Love your garden, I do have a question how does your crepe Myrtles fair in such a small space. Plus mess the dropping blooms make that near the pool. I love them but had my husband cut ours down because of the mess it made on our sidewalk. 🤦🏻‍♀️ looking forward to more garden videos. I appreciate how you put names of plants on the screen. Cindy in NC

@shadedfromreality 26 күн бұрын

Hi there Cindy from NC! Thank you so much! That is such a good question and I realized that there probably will be a lot of questions about that. The ones along my pathway are pixie wixie crepe myrtles and it is the smallest variety (2'-3') that there is. Fortunately, the way the wind blows in our yard, the blooms will probably not enter the pool. The crepe myrtle on the side of the house is dwarf variety. I just trim it up like a small tree. I've had it for over 6 years and it has never gotten taller than about 4'. They do make a mess, but we don't mind it! It's one of the few florals that can survive and thrive in our summer heat!

I picked that one off by hand; otherwise, you spray with BT, which is a type of bacteria that is toxic to caterpillars. You have to apply it pretty often, so I think it's easier to just pick them off by hand! Hope that helps!

@shadedfromreality 28 күн бұрын

Hi Darlene, I think you may be talking about the (yellow) sunshine ligustrum and the oxalis (purple). I would not recommend planting oxalis in the ground. It will take over your garden completely and choke out surrounding plants! If I were to do it again, I would keep it in a pot! The ligustrum will get large, but you can keep it trimmed down. You may prefer Touch of Gold Holly. They stay pretty low and compact without trimming.
