The first year I used this one the drain cover got closed on it and the plant nearly drowned. It was very sickly looking. When I figured out the cause and cut off the drain cover so it couldn't happen again the plant perked right up and lived. I do put a couple holes in the plastic storage totes. Here in the desert it is usually more a matter of keeping them wet enough than letting water out.Mary Hysonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761108134258243637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570418267397752691.post-14010630410506153282012-05-23T15:57:04.930-07:002012-05-23T15:57:04.930-07:00I rarely do things like that.

I really haven't noticed a difference in productivity between plants that fruited their first year or two or not. although I suppose if they were seemingly overburdened I would probably thin very heavily on younger trees.Mary Hysonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761108134258243637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570418267397752691.post-56060178824167892152012-05-23T03:34:39.880-07:002012-05-23T03:34:39.880-07:00Your garden is looking wonderful Mary so much grow...Your garden is looking wonderful Mary so much growing and all looking so healthy you must be very pleased.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309666420472665198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570418267397752691.post-63443267099739919552012-05-22T18:47:55.496-07:002012-05-22T18:47:55.496-07:00That is a gorgeous rose.. love the color!
