Someone's messing with my patio pots ... and it's not a gopher, vole, or oversized hare.
Some plants prefer lots of
direct sunlight, while others shrink away from it. Here are a few examples.
- Begonias, Bleeding Hearts , Camellias, Impatiens, and Lobelias love
full shade.
- Daisies, Dianthus, Geraniums, Marigolds, and Phlox tend to do well in full sun.
- Anemones, Bachelor's Buttons, and Poppies often grow best in combination/partial sun and shade.
I like to fill patio pots
with colorful flowers each year, balancing the many hues that appear in my garden
beds.
Curiously, a garden phantom
has been moving my floral pots around. This unnamed patio prowler switches
things up almost daily.
My plants don’t like it, and
neither do it.
Here’s the thing. The terrace
trespasser seems to possess no horticultural know-how, as the pots are
rearranged with no thought of sun or shade and how lighting affects the plants.
Somebody stop it!
