I water the walls and the ground around them and think it has become a microclimate.
The other corner has some small trees and a hedge for shade. I have my Aeae there along with Ice Cream and Itinerans. So far so good. I might pick up some shade cloth just to protect the Aeae a little more.
We should plan to get together soon to compare notes, commiserate and have some laughs. Send me a PM and we will get it planned.
We should form a Desert Banana Club. "The Amusing Musas"; "Musing musas"; "Desert desserts" just a few ideas for the name of our group.
Well, off to Home Depot for some larger pots and Fire ant killer - yeah they got me yesterday. Hate 'em.
