Looking for a Good Bromeliad Source in Southern California
Comments (6)Rainforest Flora in Torrance has a huge selection of Tillandsia and also some bromeliads. The best place is the Bromeliad Society Convention, but this year it will be in Sarasota, Florida. I went to one in San Diego, and it had the hugest selection of bromeliads I've seen in one place, other than Brazil or Costa Rica. Most of Home Depot's bromeliads are not meant for full sun and are sold primarily as house plants. However, I have grown quite a few from there inside my pergola, which has a closed top....See MoreLimelight Hydrangeas: Can they be grown in Southern California?
Comments (16)gardengal48... So Friday Was my very first visit to the Plant Depot... Let me just say... I am IN LOVE!!! They had ordered both the "super" 1 gallons and 5 gallons waiting for me. To my surprise the "super" 1 gallon size looked much bigger than I had imagined they would. I walked out of there with 4 "super" 1 gallon Limelights and 2 bags of Acid Soil Ammendment. I really had to use a serious amount of self control and restraint to keep myself from buying more. I think I may have a plant addiction... HELP!!!... ;-) I can't wait to get these hydrangeas in the ground and growing for me. Based on the information on the tag, it says that they're the hardiest of all the Hydrangeas... needing less water and being able to take more sun, than many of the other Hydrangea varieties out there, once they're established. So I'm hopeful that I will have much more success with these Hydrangeas than the other ones I've planted in the past. I CAN'T wait to go back to The Plant Depot and do some more garden dreaming... such a cool place. Thanks again for leading me towards The Plant Depot. I would not have known to check them out if it had not been for you... :-) I'll have to snap some photos sometime and share. Thanks again for all your help!...See MoreMarathon II Lawn care - Coastal Southern California
Comments (31)Morph??? What the hell? Okay your grass is badly diseased. Since cornmeal does not seem to work on fescue, I would suggest getting a recommendation from the people who installed it. Take one of those blades that is covered in black lesions (first picture) and yellow lesions (second picture) to them. They have probably seen it before. The reason the grass looks bad after a few days is due to the disease preventing or slowing the uptake of moisture. There's moisture in the soil, but the roots aren't working right. If this was St Augustine I would say the problem was from watering too frequently. You're so close to the coastal breeze, I really think you can back way off on the watering frequency. Rachio is not the best system unless you insist on watering more frequently than the online lawn community is recommending. Are you getting fog?...See MoreOn A Miserably Hot, Muggy Southern California Morning
Comments (10)How hot is it there, Jeri? The weather people here have been over-hyping this heat wave on the TV, etc. for about 5 days. Today they are talking backwards, rapidly ("San Jose should reach 80 today"...etc). The only places where they still say it will get to over 100 are way inland, which is not unusual in early Sept. It barely got up to 80 at my house yesterday. It is a bit warmer today, and I am willing to believe it will get to 90 in the next 2-3 days, but they were saying EVERYWHERE in the SF Bay area would be over 100, which luckily is not happening.
