I have not had good luck with having hard surfaces sealed here in FL. I have lived here since 1966 and have had a cement driveway and patio sealed. In almost no time the sealant began to break down,with fine cracks and then the water seeped under th…
I am creating this group for all of those who love to enjoy the serenity of sitting outdoors and taking in the intoxicating fragrances that can be experienced with fragrant plantings.
A high pressure wash will take it off for awhile,but due to our humidity,heat,rain even if you use bleach,it will return. Just plan on pressure washing it when it starts to get on your nerves.Donna

Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…
i love this kitty pic!

delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
