The white flowers will pick up the white on your trim. These are very commonly used in landscapes for good reason - they are low maintenance and in mild climates bloom almost all year. With your goldish yellow house, I would choose one of the dark, blue to dark purple varieties. Yes, Yes, Yes - Agapanthus! Be sure to buy the evergreen kind so they look good in winter. Here are some other suggestions for plants.: 1. Zonal Geraniums, Tuscan Blue Rosemary and English Ivy are almost fail proof. I would space these 4 to 5 feet apart and top with a pot or urn filled with durable flowers. Then make some short pillars (about 3 fee tall) and cover with stucco to match your house. As several other suggested, add on to your walkway by running a section straight from the house to the sidewalk. Yes, the front entry is a bit too large for the house, but I think you are stuck with that for a while. Hi Estaban, this looks like a 'Mediterranean' style house so I would keep that in mind. 14' tall, leaves 4' across Thanks for lookin' Al Fun stuff: My pals: Japanese maple in the mother-daughter style: What trees look like at the very beginning of their journey toward becoming an evocative bonsai: Baby bonsai: Baby cactus: Drunk on fermented berries: Ricinus (castor bean). If it comes out dry, or nearly so - time to water. If it comes out wet or stained dark, it's usually best to withhold water. Stick it deep into your pots (it won't damage roots). Cut it in half and sharpen all 4 ends in a pencil sharpener. Better than fingers or gauges/meters are wooden 'tells' made from a 75 cent, 1/4 or 5/16' X 48' (long) dowel rod (any hardware or home improvement outlet). Add some soluble fertilizer or table salt to the water, and suddenly it's wet. Clean your probe and dip it in a cup of distilled water and note that it reads DRY. * Water gauges don't measure moisture levels, they measure electrical conductivity.

I grow more than 100 species of plants in pots and I use it for all of them with superlative results. It does not derive it's from urea, which results in a finer and more compact plant. Dyna-Gro's Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 has ALL nutrients essential to normal growth in a 3:1:2 ratio. A fertilizer's RATIO is different than its NPK %S. There significant advantages in employment of this strategy.

After calculations are done for how P and K are reported on the package, fertilizers with 3:1:2 ratios provide nutrients in almost exactly the ratio at which the average plant uses them. Most plants use about 6X as much N as P, and about 3/5 as much K as N.
THANKSGIVING CACTUS HOW TO
How to set up a wick with a rayon mop strand : * Fertilizers do not need to be confusing. E, often used in concert with B, shows how to use a wick to rid pots of excess water. D illustrates one way of using ballast to limit excess water retention. C shows how a pot's shape can affect how much excess water a soil can hold. Compare B to A to see what happens when you tip a pot at a 45* angle. The shaded area in the images below represents excess water that robs the roots of air. * You can also rid larger pots of excess water by simply tipping them after you water. You can remove ALL excess water from water-retentive soils with this wick.

At the change in direction from downward to upward, the excess water in the pot will adhere to Newton's First Law of Motion and continue downward and out the drain hole. When it's no longer draining, hold the pot over the sink and move it down, then sharply upward. Water to the point of saturation and allow the soil to drain. * If you know your soil is overly water-retentive and your pot is small enough to handle easily. The reason we water copiously is so we can flush accumulating salts from the soil. Raise your pots well above the maximum ht of the effluent. There should be no pathway by which the effluent can make it's way back into the pot. Tips: * Never let your plants sit in the effluent that collects in cache pots or collection saucers after you water.
