  • Life is too short and my garden is too small to have plants in it I don't love. I removed my beach plum which had suckers growing but all the existing branches were dead and I'm instead filling the post with some of my favorite vigorous annuals!

      Me either! I think bc everything I grow is in a pot the thought of putting multiple plants in every pot makes it feel overwhelming in the garden.

      @@ChicagoGardener I totally understand! Plus it’s so much easier to move them around so they go together. I only have pots. I don’t plant anything on the ground. Your content is so good for me! Keep up the great work!

    Alot of times, I'll plant a Thai basil or something similar for a center plant. It adds an interesting twist.

    Maybe you know this already but beach plum won’t self pollinate. If your friends want plums, they will need another plant
    Your garden is inspiring!

      Thank you! When I got the beach plum last year I was told it was self- pollinating and then realized after googling that it was not 😩

    I love this combo. It’s going to look so vibrant and have a cooling effect with the chartreuse. This container is going to blow up! Great job!

    • @ChicagoGardener
      @ChicagoGardener  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For me, it depends on the plant 😆 If I don’t feel too sad I know it was the right things to remove it from the garden.

    Lovely container, your deck is so calming and full of life! How do you deal with squirrels? When I lived in a city apartment where I could only plant in containers, I was always finding buried “treasure” in my pots from all the squirrels who hid half eaten food from the dumpster, sometimes killing my plants in the process.. And I was never able to get any tomatoes or peppers because they ate everything. I would have loved having dwarf fruit trees!

    • @ChicagoGardener

      So far, a squirrel hasn’t made it up to the rooftop deck yet 🤞 I’ve only seen one up high enough in the trees once but I’m not sure if they can get from the tree to the deck.

      Same issue! So now, I’ve been collecting pine cones on walks and I use them as “mulch” in the pots on my deck. The squirrel hates them, and avoids the two pots that have them. Unfortunately not all of my pots have it yet, and the little bugger dug up a small pepper that I don’t think will make it now. But I know now that they won’t mess with the pine cones.

      @@modelno2004 That’s a great tip, thanks! I’ve been using pinecones at the base of my larger pots to save on potting soil, but I never thought to try putting them on the surface. I’ll give it a try.

    Three plants would have been plenty for that pot so they have room to grow.
