Great photos - the only things I can grow in pots are agapanthas and geraniums - I seem very able to kill anything else

I grow lots of things in pots, including olive trees, camelia, rhododendrons, roses and other shrubs. The secret it to give them the right soil, feed regularly and make sure they have enough water but never too much. Some of my plants have been in pots for 25 years and came with me from the UK 20 years ago. But it takes time and when you're busy you have to prioritise. My french friends find it odd!

@Mangetout ah that's my problem I don't have to do much with geraniums or agapanthas which means they do die if I forget about them for a few days - which I frequently do

@ Mangetout: to our surprise the rhododendron in pot did its best this year:

Looks lovely and healthy.

I'm so glad, raindrops keep falling on my head.
