https://www.mediterraneangardensociety.org/journal6.pdf An interesting article but I didn't want to post photos of dead plants which had come to me, via nurseries in what looked like splendid condition, but didn't last very long..
Instead, I thought to post photos of the built-in trough on our south facing balcony which went through a much-needed revamping starting in 2018
1 I had planted cuttings of the existing plants in plastic pots which can be moved around and even given away to friends
2 The trough before we had some gardeners come with heavy tools to remove the old plants. The
Portulaca afra was immovable by us
3 The trough cleaned of all the old plants and soil
4 The trough in March 2021
5 What the trough looks like today, January 2022
