A deckful of color, and getting locked out of my Youtube account

Trouble in Youtubeland
This short video of my on-deck container garden seemed to load itself from my Flip camera onto my computer and then onto Youtube.  Trouble is, since Google bought Youtube Ive been locked out of my Youtube account, so I cant do anything TO the video.  Cant rename it or write a description.  Cant even answer the comments people are nice enough to write there!   My account GardenerSusan – is still there, but after struggling for two hours to fix the access problem, which stems from the new requirement that Youtube accounts to be synced with Google accounts, Ive given up.  Despite finding other people in the same boat, and trying Youtubes suggested fixes.  Sigh.


The deckful of color

On a happier note, Im loving my colorful summer vegetables, hot petunias, sweet potato vines and other assorted annuals.  Last year my veg attempts were total failures but this year Im avoiding crops destroyed by cabbage loopers and sticking with my best performers so far cherry tomatoes, squash, eggplant and a few herbs.  (Zucchini did well for me, too.  Not that thats any accomplishment.)

The self-watering containers are from Gardeners Supply.  Much better looking than Earthboxes, and with rollers, theyre easy to move around as needed.

These annuals came from Hort Couture: Black Jack and Smallwood Driveway Coleus; three Panache Petunias; Deep Navy Lobelia;  Paper Doll Scaevola, Ipomoea Blackie and Margarita, and Euphorbia Hip Hop.  And from C. Raker & Sons: ‘Wave Purple Improved Spreading’ and ‘Shock Coral Crush’ Petunias.

The vine you see on the privacy screen is Hardy Kiwi, which grows like Kudzu but in its 15 years here, hasnt yet produced any fruit.
