want to connect w/other NC/nearby VA growers
Comments (5)Hi Eric - I'm a couple of hours east of you, on the south side of Raleigh (zone 7b). My yard is only an acre and a half but every square inch of it is garden. I've only been at this location for 2 years, before that I was 15 minutes further east in Garner in a large inner town lot which was mostly deep shade. I grow a lot of the freaky stuff but most of what I have now is small and not big enough to fruit or take cuttings off of. I've been gardening most of my life but this is the first time that I have completely nose dived into hard core food production. I drive up to Afton VA. to Edible Landscaping nursery once a year and a lot of what I grow comes from them (it's only 4 hours away). I have also planted some of the stranger fruits from One Green World out on the west coast. I grow a lot of the super tropicals from seeds collected from fruit I buy at the local asian market. One of my successes that I will be able to share soon is 'Cumberland' Black Raspberry. I started out with two plants and now that I have them in full sun they are monsters that out perform all the other cane crops. The flavor is very blackberry ish. Bumper crops, no spraying, no disease, but lots of management due to aggressive growth....See MoreWANTED: hawaiian sunset vine
Comments (1)I might have some in the fall, depends on how well the plant does this summer. It sure is a fast grower!...See MoreHAVE: Ostrich ferns, bee balm; want natives
Comments (5)I would be very interested in the ostrich fern, red bergamot and red twig dogwood. I have buttercup, virginia waterleaf (have in lots of places that aren't wet lands), jewelweed,lots of violets (purple, yellow, white and blue woodland types), trillium, maybe some toothwarts, woodland phlox and other items. Only thing is will be a week or so before can go to my other place and get them. Will be going and moving alot of things over then. If you are interested, plmk. Will be sure those are things I bring in the first load when things are up good. Thanks, Melinda...See MoreHawaiian Wax Plant ( Hoya) has no fragrance
Comments (5)Hi and thank you all for your advice. I do not know where to go to download a photo of the Hoya plant onto the site, can someone tell me were I can find that. I am sorry about calling it a Hawaiian wax plant as that was what was on the card the lady gave me when I bought the start. She wouldn't even tell me how to get other starts but I finally found out it is as easy as just sticking the clipping in dirt... wow they grow beautifully. My plant never had a fragrance but as I said the one in the jar she showed me sure did, oh it was wonderful so I am a bit disappointed but the flower is so pretty that makes it all worth while. So easy to take care of too. I see several plants that are probably the one I have when I look through the photos but if I find out how to download it I will put it on the website. Thank you all again, just wanted to make sure that I had it planted right and it didn't need something special. Auburn2000...See MoreRelated Professionals
