Anyone grow Jade Bush Bean?
Comments (13)I've grown Jade. It's expensive but I don't know why. It's a very good bean. Best if you can them or eat them fresh. They are easy to germinate. The soil must be warm and moist. What I do is plant the seed, water the soil,then cover the ground over the seed with weed block or old carpet. This will keep the soil moist and help heat up the soil. Old carpet works better. Just plant the seed and put the carpet over where they are planted and water the carpet real good. After 5 to 7 days check to see if the seed started germinating. When you see the first seed sprout remove the carpet. The other see will be up in a day or two. Now there you go! That how I germinate hard to germinate seed. Works good for carrots and any small seed that is slow to germinate. Also keeps the soil moist. If you need more moisture just water the carpet. That way you don't wash the small seed like carrots away....See MoreAnybody growing the Jade Vine?
Comments (10)Mike, Well my baby is just 8 months old and probably won't bloom for another year, it is not much to look at now. Hester, didn't you see one in your backyard, haha? Crowley's Nursery. Yes they are expensive, they're not prohibitive. Crowley's had the red one too as well as all kinds of other beautiful vines, too many to mention. Writersblock, that is very encouraging and exactly the type of information I was looking for. So many talented gardeners push the envelope of growing tropical plants here and I'm hoping to do the same. It will probably end up in a greenhouse, but either way. Now I have two excuses to visit the east coast, Katkin ;-) If anybody has seen one of these elsewhere I'd love to hear it. Thanks, Darren...See MoreDoes anyone grow Black Jade?
Comments (3)I had Black Jade for about 3 years and just recently gave it away, primarily because I found a mini of similar dark red that I like better (Salute), and I have very limited garden space and have to make tough choices. Black Jade has both good and bad qualities. Strengths are its unique deep black/red coloring and excellent form. It's a top show mini. Mine had fair amount of bloom, but not great. It also blows to fully open very fast and burns in our hot sun. I definitely agree with the above advice to give it part shade. Mine did best when I gave it only morning sun. Salute, which I mentioned above, is just a shade lighter and has good form, though not as good as Black Jade. But its a much better garden rose in my experience. If you show minis or plan to, you picked a good one. Black Jade is one of the best red minis for show....See MoreAnyone grow Jade Vines?
Comments (9)LOL doooglas that's kind of you to say. Yes, the heliconia is Bihai "Chocolate Dancer". Most people would not be able to tell that from the quality of this photo. I built the greenhouse to mimic a botanical garden house, and to be able to grow things like the Jade Vine and the Mucunas and palms that I could otherwise never grow here. I have perhaps 400 orchids in the collection, I am very partial to minis, bulbos and cirrhos, and vandaceous. I also love aroids and lost count of the different species of anthuriums, philodendrons and others I have collected. I have been at this for over 20 years now. Palms are another love of mine and I have perhaps 100. Licualas I especially love, and have several different ones. Here are a few others: Salacca magnifica Pelagadoxa henryana Licuala mapu...See Moreargus
