AquatPots clustered together at the entryway welcome visitors for the upcoming holidays. Photo by Jan Winter
AquaPots are equipped with a tube hidden by foliage like this Dolce Appletini heuchera. A water hose inserted in the tube makes for easy filing of the water holding reservoir. Photo by Norman Winter
The hidden tube in this AquaPot will allow for easy feeding by placing a spoonful of watersoluble fertilizer prior to filling up the water holding reservoir. Photo by Norman Winter
This AquaPot is full of blooms from November to June with Lady Godiva Orange calendula and Superbells Pomegranate Punch calibrachoas. Photo by Norman Winter
Container gardening through the winter is one of the great joys of living in the South and the new AquaPots have eliminated the last of the anxieties: watering and feeding. We all are used to watering and applying fertilizer in the summer, but it has been somewhat of a mystery or roll of the dice in the winter.

Oil prices have regularly closed above $80 per barrel of late, something that hadn’t happened since 2014.
My journey this week is a return visit to the Veterans Patrol, a faithbased organization in San Marcos with the mission of “Veterans standing together in faith to support each other for inner peace.” Veterans share a camaraderie and warmth of brotherhood when they meet. I always say, “I know your heart due to our unique military experiences.”

First off, let me make you a red-hot offer. I have a big bush just off my back bedroom deck and it is covered in tiny, BB-sized red and orange peppers. Chili pequins.

During the summer, we think of flowers like petunias as those fragrant, spilling or tumbling flowers cascading over the rims of baskets and mixed containers. That same show of incredible color coupled with tantalizing fragrance can be achieved during the cool season with pansies like those of the Cool Wave series.
