Re: How does your garden grow, FS?

When I gardened in Texas, my front porch faced north so it had a bit of morning sun then was hot shade the rest of the day. I had pots crowded along the steps filled with torenia (aka clownflower) and as many different kinds of coleus as I could find. Coleus loves heat & shade but is also fine with milder/cooler weather too. I've seen it used as a landscape planting in western Oregon. Not sure if the deer will eat it -- deer will eat pretty much anything if they're desperate -- but I don't think it's poisonous. It's ridiculously easy to grow, too. Just break off a piece, stick it in water, and it'll have roots within a week. (I confess, I only bought about half my coleus plants each year; the rest I got by surreptitiously snapping off cuttings at display gardens & from public landscaping & rooting the cuttings.) I also had really good luck with vinca -- not the vining/runner kind but one that makes a small, bushy plant. They like shade & bloom like crazy even through a Texas summer.
