The tall plants have also allowed privacy for the seating area of the garden. Both of these annuals have bloomed since late May, providing for pollinators, and now, as they complete their blooming cycle, for birds who are feasting on seeds. The tall 5-7 foot spikes in the background, right side of the photo, are American Basket flowers, Centaurea americana, and in the middle of the garden, you can see the large leaves of a couple of common sunflowers, which have grown to 6-8 feet. (I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while.)

Stuff grew in! Who knew that would happen? Full disclosure: the following photos were taken in late May and June. This shot was taken in June, roughly at the same angle. The southeast quadrant of the garden (behind the orange pot, along the right side of the photo) and the northwest quadrant (outside of this photo, to the left) are the two sections of establish plants that I left in place.

I transplanted appropriate plants from other parts of my garden, as well as newly purchased shrubs, perennials, and some small trees to this open garden. This is a view of my front garden in early December from the corner where the driveway and street intersect, using the zoom feature to capture the innards of the garden where the yellow chairs sit.Īll that remains of the poor tree is a stump, now happily hosting a large potted bougainvillea, thriving in the searing summer sun.Ī front-on photo in December demonstrates a completely new landscape in the center part of the garden. I recognized early on that some established plants would welcome the challenge, but others would need immediate removal, and a few would require observation throughout the growing season to assess their viability in the changed conditions. With no tree canopy protecting the garden, it now faces all day, blistering Texas summer sun and that’s a thing that demands respect as well as tough-as-nails plants. Within a few hours, the west-facing garden morphed from mostly shade to full sun. These are approximate measurements and they do vary from supplier to supplier.Last autumn we removed an old, freeze-damaged Arizona Ash from our front garden.

5 Gallon Pot - 12 to 13 inches wide by 11 to 12.5 inches deep.

3 Gallon Pot - 10.5 to 11.5 inches wide by 9.5 to 10.5 inches deep.

2 Gallon Pot - 8.5 to 9.5 inches wide by 8 to 9 inches deep.

1 Gallon Pot - 6.5 to 7.5 inches wide by 7 to 8 inches deep.

These are approximate measurements and dimensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but all dimensions fall in the following specifications. What you actually should be concerned with is the dimensions of the pot rather than capacity because let’s face it the size of the hole you dig is dependent on the dimensions, not the capacity.

5-gallon (#5) pot holds 4.9 gallons of soil.

3-gallon (#3) pot holds 2.9 gallons of soil.

2-gallon (#2) pot holds 1.5 gallons of soil.

1-gallon (#1) pot for example, can hold 3 quarts of soil yet they are still considered a 1-gallon pot.

Gallon is just a term of reference leftover from the days of nurseries growing plants in metal containers. This can be misleading to gardeners as a one-gallon pot would lead you to believe that the pot would hold one gallon of milk. Nursery pot sizes are called gallon sizes. Or, plant in groups to create an unforgettable privacy hedge. Cut at the stem and put in a vase to share its vibrant elegance with your interiors.
