I am thinking of making my half whisky barrel garden into a bog next year... Every year since I can remmeber, it was My barrel, and I chose the flowers for it, and I watered it, etc... I am thinking of fitting a pond liner into it next year... I am halfway sure of how to construct it... Poke holes about half a foot to a foot up from the obttom for drainage or sumthing like that, but that is not what I'm concerned about...
Plant wise... I am definatly TRYING to get a P. vulgaris... It will be the envy of the boards that I don't have to touch it, and it survives...
I'll use my purp in it, so that will take up some room... I'm trying to think of a bigish dew that is temperate... I can think of rotundifolia, but its about 3 inches across (i'm trading it, but i've got a cutting that is growing well (outside mind you)), but that doesnt seem big enough... If it must though, it will suffice... Any thoughts on a different dew?
I am not sure of any other plants that are capable of being frozen into a block of peat for the whole winter... VFTs can't... Oh, buried in snow too... heh... ANY temperate utrics that you think could survive? I know they exist, I mean, they do in alaska, hehehe... Which? Terrestrial obvisously, and ones that won't smother my other plants to death...
Any other opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Greg
