FYI We had people cutting through and kicking down a board fence at the doctor's office where I worked. The only way I could stop them (and stop buying new fence boards) was to plant a row of thorny rose bushes in front of the fence so they couldn't even get close to it. Good luck. Love from London, ON 🇨🇦

From a garden center manager who enjoys following you: Your ferns would be happy in LOTS of shade... you might move them so that they are under the porch, but a sun-loving plant would perform much better (lantana is heat and drought tolerant and is very colorful). The ferns would be much happier out under the pines. It is almost impossible to overwater as the pots have a drain hole in the bottom. Daily water is a must, and twice daily is even better if it is hot AND windy. Keep up the good work !!
