Hope all are doing well with their Brugs & other plants! It's been so HOT - I'm lucky to have any pics of anything! lol! When the weather starts cooling down a little - hopefully I'll have more to share!

I've missed everyone & I hope everyone's having a GREAT Summer! :)

Mike

Lots of work but you are very blessed to have such a wonderful garden. It is quite sad to see the flowers bowed down to father Winter. However, seeing snow on roses has its own magical appeal. I think it just makes those of us who have winters more appreciative of the growing season. There is nothing like seeing the snow melt and your roses growing and blooming. It is magical and quite an honour to see nature's handiwork.

Learning how to deal with my newly diagnosed Early Stage diabetes. 6:00 - 100% Whole Grain (Sugar Free) Toast with less than teaspoon of Natural Peanut Butter. 10:00 - Apple Slices w/Cinnamon Lunch will be left over slivers of Grilled Chicken on a Spinach Salad. Olive Oil w/Vinegar. Afternoon Snack will probably be: Blueberry Yogurt Dinner: Grilled Salmon, Steamed Broccoli, Summer Squash w/onions. How am I doing all you Nutritionist? Oh yes, Dr. Oz says to dip Whole Grain Bread in EVO before you eat the Evening Meal. It helps in digestion and you loose "belly fat". Gayle Doing my exercises too!

Hybrid Outdoor Hydroponic setup
Q
Comments (10)
That looks really nice. I like the setup. Hopefully you have some ideas on how you're going to add support to those tomato plants. With no media when they get big they're going to get top heavy. I use DWC buckets and even with 6" net pots and hydroton I have cages mounted on the lids to add support and that's with a dwarf variety cherry tomato. You may have thought about this already but your nute strength for those tomatoes to properly feed them needs to be way higher than some of the others to where you may get some nute burn or lockout on the herbs if you run it that high. I'd suggest running it on the lower side and foliar feed the more hungry plants like the tomatoes and peppers to help them along. You may have your process buttoned up already but just a suggestion as it'll help with getting good yield if you haven't thought about it yet. Great job.

Which grapefruit?
Q
Comments (12)
If I could only have one citrus tree in my yard it would be my Cocktail grapefruit. I would keep that one because it is unique, something that I can't buy. I can find good lemons in the stores and sometimes passably good mandarins and oranges. But the juice from a Cocktail (I only juice them, each fruit has dozens of seeds) is like nothing I can buy. It has grapefruit flavor yet it's not grapefruit, it's not too sweet and it has none of the bitterness you sometimes taste in a grapefruit. It is like no other citrus I've tasted, although I admit that most of my citrus experience is with oranges, lemons and mandarins. If I could only have two trees I would add a Washington or Cara Cara orange. A tree ripened navel orange is light years better than anything you can buy in a store, it is like eating a different fruit.

Mike-
You have a lot blooming! I love the "Glamour" shots your camera takes- mine does that too- I have to warm up my camera outside because it fogs up. Great shot of the Sphinx moth- those are hard to shoot. Beautiful rose! Brugs look great! What is that red flowering plant? I've reduced my watering to once every few days- we have a well and I can't risk running it dry. The brugs don't seem to miss it! Thank God. What scent does your Cleodendrun have?
Thanks for sharing!

The whole East Coast must be way hotter then normal this summer. I had friends that went to Maine a couple weeks ago and it was in the low 90's there. I've read posts from members in the San Diego area that they are still experiencing "June Gloom" and temps are only in the 70's. I don't know if others on the Left Coast are also lower then average. Weird.

Mike, very nice pics. That's an amazing mottled pink brug. Is it like that all the time?

I have one of those Clerodendrum speciosissimums as well. Does the plumeria have a name?
