Two pepper plants in one container?
Comments (3)I went ahead and planted both plants in the same 10 gallon container. However, there seems to be something wrong with these two (green bell) pepper plants. I think that they were either root bound when they were planted or the container I planted them in is too small. They haven't grown much and the bottom leaves have a slightly yellow tint to them. My red bell pepper plant is in a container by itself and is doing very well. I did get the two pepper plants in a little late but when I planted them, they were only slightly smaller than the red bell pepper plant. They have barely grown and don't appear to be doing anything while the red bell pepper plant has gotten bigger and it has the little flowers on it. I vaguely remember that the roots were different on these two pepper plants, like they were becoming root bound, but I don't think they were. I tried looking up pictures of root bound plants, but they look the same as regular plants to me. What can I say, I'm a gardening idiot. Any suggestions as to what I should do with these plants?...See MoreTwo bareroot cherry trees in one container?
Comments (3)That will work. I've had three nectarines in a 12 gallon and all fruited starting 2nd leaf. I can pull up pic if you like but I've already posted several times so don't want to bore folks. G5 works well in a pot because root growth is fairly slow. I had Van and Rainier in 12 gal 5 yrs and then sold the trees for $50 each so they still looked good. Full truth: A nursery sold them for $100 each and I got $50. Too much but I won't complain. Leave as much root as fits comfortably and don't worry about overlap. Within a yr you won't be able to separate no matter what you do. Trees can be held to about 5ft easily....See MoreAustin's 'Heritage,' one of the best Austins
Comments (22)I love this rose and definitely one of my favourite Austins. It has the delicate blush pink that I like in roses. I am usually not a fan of pink roses. With regards to the shattering of the blooms, I however found they last for a few days in my garden. I am not sure if this has to do with windy locations. Maybe in very extreme windy location, they don't last? Mine would be in its third year and I will pay more attention and see how long they really last....See MoreDavid Austins In A Container
Comments (14)I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd chime in - All my roses are grown in containers. I grow Abraham Darby and Lady Emma Hamilton in large pots and they are doing wonderfully. Abraham Darby has grown quite a but and puts out sprawling canes, LEH has stayed rather bushy. I also started Pegasus late last year and it put out blooms well into the fall - not sure how it's done making it through the winter (I didn't expect it to make it, so I didn't put much effort into over-wintering it, and it seems to have some through anyway). I also grow Belle's Story in a small pot and can't seem to kill it no matter what happens. I also have Christopher Marlow doing well in a smallish (3 gallon pot) and it has done fairly well. I don't have a lot of room, so I've mostly started with smaller roses and will likely have to up container sizes for the small ones next year. I'm hoping we'll have some more room then....See MoreDiane Brakefield
