Poor country boy gardening is when you want or need something for your garden and can't afford it. So you get creative on how to get it trading or bartering for it. digging it up out of an empty field or off the side of the road or a neighbors yard.

Comment by Jon S. z7 tx God blessed the USA on May 30, 2013 at 12:28pm: chuck this is what the crepe myrtle actually looked like at the store i saw them at. pretty dark purple even trunks of course these are only 2 to 3 ft tall 2 gallon potted young ones as they age may change.

Comment by Jon S. z7 tx God blessed the USA on May 30, 2013 at 12:24pm: welcome Joanie Cordes

Comment by chuck goecke on May 29, 2013 at 11:04am: I wish thet would have mentioned the bark color and the fall color on those black Diamond crepes. Maybe because the bark color is typical greenish tan, and I would guess the fall color is spectacular bright oranges and crimson, with all that pigment in their leaves. Bark color and fall color are too things that some crepes are famous for, like the ever popular Natchez; large white flower clumps, cinnamon new bark, and orange fall color on leaves that are bright green in summer, all on a large full sized (25' +) grower.
