Pink large Zinna on sale at Lowes 1.99$ at Lowes for a 2 gallon pot,, but I got for free because I dead head (ed) a load of Zinna's seeds for the cashier,,
many of these blooms are about to go to seed so I'll have a good amount for next spring!
And the planter it's in,, was a very old one I had, I spray painted it Ivory this afternoon,, it only took about 10 minutes to dry in 105 degrees and very windy, Yep I know I shouldn't have been using spray paint under a heat advisory,, But I'm just toooo impatient,, and I wanted these in a pot!

Use what I use to keep our 180-pound mastiff from 'messing up' the front and backyard. I hook a Scarecrow Sprayer in each yard. It has a motion sensor on it and when it detects someone - it will give the yard a good spray! Scares me when I forget it's on! I bought it on Amazon. It work! Now he goes out in the trees.
No, it's unfortunately an annual. But my local nursery always has a "deal" table where they pick certain things and sell them cheap. I got those in a huge pot for $3 each. And I love morning glories, but I really wanted something different on that trellis. And I'd never come across Thunbergia in the nursery before, so I had to have it.
I didn't know how high it would grow but it's making it all the way up there now. Sorry about the cords stuck thru the trellis, Mark wrapped the pool cord around there.
If you see a plant right between the grass and trellis, sorta behind the grass there---it's a tomato plant. Popped up all by itself so I just left it there.
Crepe myrtle along the side of the house, I pruned it way back this year ,, I should have kept of with the new branches growing from the base of the trunk,, but ,, at least they bloomed too,,

Sheri She gets up at 4:30 every morning and waters her plants.......Very dedicated.. Might be a winner against dry....Cause the plants have time to soak up the good water before it drys.
