Garden after the rain - photo heavy
Comments (45)Hi Wow you are an ambitious gardener!! I ripped most of mine out yet again ."Lush planting" turned into "Unmanageable jungle" again lol There seem to be only two kinds of tropical plants those that eat the house ,those that croak unless kept in a biosphere. Would love to get rid of all the yard plants and concentrate on the "Hanging gardens" as I LOVE epiphytes and there seem to be at least a dozen that I've not grown or killed lol. Doubt seriously it will ever happen ,when i told the wife that what was needed was a MUCH larger shadehouse she said I need a lot less plants lol. Sad that now that I have the time and ambition to manage a garden my back refuses to do any heavy lifting and climbing . Well I can enjoy the pix of yours !!! Anna I counted pic #12,with the statue right above the red brom. One with the divided green leaves right behind the small palm?? Sure looks like a "Snowflake tree" to me?? Junglegal You say thats an Anthrurium.?? i didn't know there were any with divided leaves?? Anthurium clavigerum??? will have to look that up!! Anna had a whole bunch of Trevesia palmata seedlings that were doing fine until the neghbors cat knocked them off the table!!! They all croacked . These were the fabled "variagated "ones also. Have been unable to locate even small ones except at that nursery we can't name. lol gary...See MoreLeaves dirty after heavy rain
Comments (3)Thanks jessica, there was a thick layer of dirt on that was actually pulling the plants down so i did go ahead and follow your advice. All I have for mulch is pine bark mulch, I've held back on using this on the vegetables though, because I heard something about it being acidic and bad for the plants. Is this true?...See MoreHibiscus branches drooping after rain
Comments (3)You can also loosen soil a couple inches and put some new soil to freshen and bone meal with the new soil. Prune your bush only one side at a time a few inches back it will look odd but do one side each month or...randomly trim back about a quarter of the brances each month till you have the shape you want....See MoreDrooping flowers on Nikko after heavy rain
Comments (0)We had a torrential rainstorm the other afternoon in Connecticut. My blue hydrangea's flowers drooped like mops. I waited a sunny day or two for them to pick up, but notice no change. Can the shrub be saved? Is there anything else I can do to save the blooms? Each stem is on support, just the flowers look like bells......See Moresoonergrandmom
