One way I always got bougainvillea to bloom profusely was cut the bottom out of the nursery pot and stick it in the ground, it likes to be root bound. :)<br /><br />I will begin updating my blog again soon, life happened (long story) and I have moved. I have been doing a garden update on a facebook page, but I miss blogging… and I am taking the Master Gardener’s course this summer. I hope to reconnect soon!<br /><br />If you are on facebook, my page is: http://www.facebook.com/nawlinsgardenJeannehttp://www.nawlinsgarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-27222820579317980722010-05-12T09:54:53.172-05:002010-05-12T09:54:53.172-05:00What a beautiful garden and so full of flowers alr...What a beautiful garden and so full of flowers already.

It's a plant I admire every time I visit my daughter in Arizona. But I can grow verbena bonariensis--I hope. Last year Beckie gave me a little seedling of what she thought was the verbena, but it turned out to be bee balm:) I've started some from seed this year, myself, so hopefully I'll get the right plant:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-21182037871398360432010-05-08T17:51:53.082-05:002010-05-08T17:51:53.082-05:00Jean: We pretty much knew the rain water was acidi...Jean: We pretty much knew the rain water was acidic by the effect it had on the pond (we have a filter and fountain, so something had changed - a whole lot of rain water was the obvious answer). But to confirm, we did test the water in our rain barrel, and such enough, it was the lowest the pH scale went!! Interestingly, our tap water was just as acidic - it comes from rainwater. <br /><br /><br />We have some cheap test strips from Lowes we use to check pH, nitrite/nitrate, etc.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904073032627748614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-50453316419975425322010-05-08T15:22:03.371-05:002010-05-08T15:22:03.371-05:00Yes, I grew the nasturtiums in that photo from see...Yes, I grew the nasturtiums in that photo from seed.
