I feel a bit guilty yanking it all out but sometimes a fresh start is the only thing to do as everything here just grows like crazy. I also have had mediocre success with New Guineas...they start off looking lovely and then mine just get really leggy and shabby looking.Kate Rhttp://www.greytabbygardens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800878984837762970.post-49339859866168890242015-07-20T09:44:16.509-04:002015-07-20T09:44:16.509-04:00My word you have a beautiful home!

We have yard waste pickup on Mondays, so I've got to get out there and at least collect all the palm fronds and such and it's always a big load. I can barely stand it, lol!

I thought I was doing something wrong, but just couldn't figure out what. Thank you all so much for your comments and for looking at my blog! I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and get out there and do some trimming this weekend, even if it's raining, lol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390897375295135939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800878984837762970.post-57063701722143928662015-07-16T11:24:05.606-04:002015-07-16T11:24:05.606-04:00Quite interesting really Lynn as I am another who ...Quite interesting really Lynn as I am another who has had no success with New Guinea Impatiens. I find they remain lovely for a while then just fade away. Whilst you are finding it too hot to garden we are having the coldest winter in many years.

New guineas have never worked for me either, they seem to just quit blooming when I put them in the landscape.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873027334652949566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800878984837762970.post-3242907804279764842015-07-16T10:04:34.103-04:002015-07-16T10:04:34.103-04:00WOW...
