We don’t have a Gooseberry Patch here in Tennessee….but we have a Brair Patch, a Blueberry Patch, a ‘baccer patch..(no not that kind)….and a Quilt patch….but can’t find it…
Have to wait til I come to WV I guess…but thanks a million…

I want one of those (lightening bug) jars……like we don’t have enough of them around…but we just love em’..I might just make one!
Ponder: I wonder if a person could just buy plastic bugs (sort of look alike fireflies)from the craft store…humm.. and attach them on a LCD mini light string and glue the battery box in the lid….Hummm…..poke the whole wiring thingy down ‘willy nilly’ in the jar and let’er rip..err blink..
PS…hummm….to keep the green wire from showing one could use one of Grandmas old blue canning jars….hummm

That jar is a battery-operated firefly jar!

Just curious… what is the hanging canning jar on the wall next to your petunias for?

Mine are barely hanging on. My mom was visiting last week and she replanted them with fertilizer-rich soil, but I don’t know if they’re going to come out of it. I just do NOT have a very green thumb!

I just read that Wave Petunias need at least 6 hours of direct sun to grow well and are heavy feeders even with Miracle Grow you need to fertilize twice as often.

May be in competition with the other vining plant in your basket…Your petunia should be your main cascading plant…also petunias need full sun with minimum shade…lots of fertilizer, moist, but no wet feet….
PS…I’m a “nipper in the bud” when planting person,too…it seems to make them set mutiple side shoots that take off with tons of blooms..when they slow down, pinch’em again…
PS..I know I get movin’ when someone pinches me……!

They need full sun. My mom grows Wave petunia and regular petunias. Hers are absolutely beautiful. She waters them every other day(if it doesnt rain) and they are in Full sun.
