Not enough plants to make it full and lush, but definitely some. So it shouldn't be hard. I've had really crappy luck starting them indoors, even under lights they get lanky. I would suggest either planting the seeds out directly when it's warm, they grow fast, or just buying new plants next year. <BR/><BR/>I don't have the patience Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-85003860041337763192008-09-18T16:48:00.000-07:002008-09-18T16:48:00.000-07:00kim:Oh.

It is one of the few annuals I use on my sunny, western exposure deck any more, because it can handle the heat. The other deck residents are bougainvilla (overwinter indoors), some herbs, and a skyrocket juniper that can also take the hot, dry conditions. I tried tomatoes but didn't keep up with the watering very well.<BR/><BR/>I love Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-83600411939561319372008-09-18T04:46:00.000-07:002008-09-18T04:46:00.000-07:00I love portulaca, too, but unfortunately so do the...I love portulaca, too, but unfortunately so do the rabbits.
