Thank you! Yeah I topped them all once while they were indoors and then a couple of them I topped again outside after they had been in the ground a couple of weeks.

Thanks! There were a couple of beds that were here when i moved in but they were rotting out. I was able to salvage a couple of the small ones. Unfortunately all of the beds had a weed barrier membrane at the base of the wood about ten inches down. All it was doing was preventing any worms from moving in. I dug out all the beds removed the membranes and went down about eighteen inches and amended the soil with composted steer manure, compost and peat moss. I only put the manure in the bottom so I didn't fry the plants. The Jillybean was a bit sensitive to it after about three weeks but adjusted. There were a lot of stones in the soil otherwise the drainage is great and its a good base.

Wow Gort... what can I say your plants look wonderful. I also have a few outdoor plants here in Oregon (Corvallis area) my plants get about 6/7 hours of sun each day. Keep up the good work!

Thank you. All I did was work on the soil ahead of time and plant flowers to attract beneficial insects. The sun is doing all the work lol.

Thank you Candy! That's about the amount of light my plants got down in the bay area except I was in the fog. With the warm weather here it must make a big difference.

Hey Gort I'm wondering if you feed them with anything or just water?

Hey Stone. Now just water but I did a fair amount of work before I planted. I went down about eighteen inches below the soil level. This used to be flood plain so there are a lot of round stones which I removed. The soil has a clay appearance but nothing like the potters type clay I dealt with at my old place in CA. This is a good soil base to start with. So I added gypsum, peat moss, compost and a moderate amount of Steer manure. I put in the beds and had commercial compost delivered that has some composted chicken and cow manure in it. I mixed that with the existing soil. They seem to love it. The only problem was that the Jillybean is more sensitive than the other three in the beds. The soil mix was a little hot for it. It never curled the leaves but it wasn't happy for about two weeks then it seemed to adjust. So at this point I don't know if I'm going to do anything else. I'm debating using high phosphorus bat guano maybe molasses during flowering but that would be it.
