Thanks, Jeanne.

Just the thought of bringing out every possible amendment plus an assortment of measuring cups and spoons would have me growing fields of impatiens, not clematis!

NM here, at the stump (the tower in the photo), gets morning sun on the face while it gets shade in the back and it's all reversed by afternoon. Now it's layered itself in several spots and I just won't move them because I enjoy the look of it. The fact that it goes on blooming for a month as the Japanese irises bloom is a definite and unexpected plus.
