One of my big container-planting experiments is a dwarf lilac that I bought last year. It should top out at about 5 feet (it's about 2.5-3 feet now) and bloom three times per year (say, April, July, and September). I gave it all the best soil, but will it survive with the light limitations of the patio and the limited space for roots? Only time will tell.
We're off to a good start, with a heap of great-smelling blossoms.
(This picture is from about two weeks ago.)
Here's a wider view, with nibbling by our chrome bumper goat.
(p.s.) There won't be much more posting from me today, as it's Primary Election Day in Pennsylvania and I'm going to be working at the polls all afternoon.
