    Your container planting this year has inspired me to do some non traditional planting in mine. I am interested to see the progress of the banana and all its companions. The original banana was so interesting to watch thrive 🎉

    Ha! Love that you mix it up in containers (and the garden truth be told). If you’re calling 2.0 Chiquita, I think 1.0 needs a name too. I nominate “Hannah”.

  • @shod61
    @shod61 3 месяца назад +3

    GO, Fiona! If she’s Fiona then #1 needs to be Shrek. Maybe you haven’t seen the movie? Either way, I’m rooting for them both to be glorious. Your container game has gone to the next level lately. I’ve always loved them and modeled some of mine after yours but this one is spectacular. Can’t wait to see the progress updates.
