And of course, please let us know if it worked, or bombed. Nothing ventured nothing gained right?

Well, here's one that, for me at least, is a gain:

Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). In a hanging basket (I can here the shunning from everyone save for the Northwest). Well, say what you want about it, and I know people are just as divided about this as they are Hedera helix (and see, I HATE that plant), but it's worked two years in a row now. All the nurseries sell this in 1 gal. pots with little bamboo tee-pees, I just plant it in a good sized basket, take out the sticks, and tease the main stems for a month or so until the plant gets the hang of it, and dangles it's blossoms for the hummingbirds in a most awesome way. Last year I just used Hall's honeysuckle, this year I'm using purple-leaf honeysuckle, surrounded by variegated lemon Thyme, in a more decorative basket. Pictures later, promise!

Also on my experimentation for this year: Two blueberry plants, different varieties, both late ripeners, one more open and sprawling, the other more upright. Planting them in the same large container (I'm thinking half-wine barrel, perhaps bigger with wheels on the bottom). Only because I'm in a rental, want to keep the plants, and this should help keep them cross-polinated. Got the idea from Monrovia, who pots a male and female Ilex x meserveae close together to ensure berries.

Fire away!
