Default Re: I Have A Bloom In April!

Brent, you are so right, it was a lot of work. I added pictures of the mat for you to look at. It is a 6'x8' area on the SE corner of the house.

Last spring, with the advice from "ya'll" on the forum we dug it out leaving a choice few plants, added in loads of "Black Cow". Last fall we had our first bloom though too late. I might have saved it with a support/ or not.

Please look at the picture of the mat today and tell me if there is more that I can do. It's ugly now, but as we heat up that entire area will be a beautiful jungle of leaves. Is there anything that we can companion plant around the front base of them?

I'm starting to think that these are Orinocos.
