Lovely pics, you are making me so jealous. I am waiting to have my garden all revamped and made over. So although I do have some plants in pots they are all just stuck in a corner until garden is done. What amazes me are the difference in your plants to mine, because we live high up in the mountains ours flower much later. My clematis is only just starting to grow.

Wouldn't that also depend on the variety though, my clematis montana has already flowered and finished. I think it burst into bloom in early april and it's just lost the last of it's flowers.
The picture is Dr Ruppel which flowers May/June and Sept. I've also got one that doesn't flower until about August.

I think mine are a bit like that too tbh, but we can chart their progress through the summer, if we manage to keep the dogs out of them

Have you complained to Miraclegro? I did, if you saw my post on Mushrooms. It's worth it they sent me some vouchers. Go to their website.
I think I will send them an email, It's mullered the clematis and a few other plants too. One minute the water was completely clear and the next it was really bright blue. I took the feeder off and watered the plants really well with just water straight away but obviously even that wasn't enough. I saw your mushrooms they're huge, did they offer an explanation at all?

I used to like having a nice garden, but after having the rotties a few years, I gave up, I tried everything, even started putting high wire round the pots, but flowers in prison dont have the same look to them, the rotties find a way in anyway....so heres what grows in my tubs.

I emailed them then they phoned me. They said there were spores already in the air that caused the mushrooms to grow. So how come they only grew in the pots with Miraclegro in?!!

Well I sent them a long and detailed e mail explaining exactly what happens when I try to use the feeder. Not only is the clematis suffering but I lost an entire tray of potted on plug plants that had been thriving until they were miracle gro'd. I got a reply this morning saying sorry to hear you're not happy with the product and proceeded to give me directions for use.
The e mail I sent in reponse was a tad more forceful and explained in no uncertain terms what I now expect them to do about it. I shall see what happens.
