What I have, what I would like
Comments (9)This is just an update of what is left: Veggies: Okra (about 80 seeds) California Wonder (5 seeds) Long Red Cayenne (5 seeds) Cantaloup (about 15 seeds) Barletta White Onion (10 seeds) Yellow Granex Onion (25-30 seeds) Snowball Cauliflower (10 seeds) Iceberg Lettuce (about 100 seeds) Canoe Pea (about 30 seeds) Large Red Cherry Tomato (20-30 seeds) Purple Top White Globe Turnip (about 100 seeds) Sugar Pumpkin-for making pies) (Gone) Sparkler White Tip Radish (about 30 seeds) Early Scarlet Globe Radish (20 seeds) Jack Be Little Pumpkin (I must recount but I don't have many left) Carrots (about 100) National Pickling Cucumber (about 10 seeds) Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin (5 seeds) Giant Noble Spinach (20 seeds) Sweet Corn (5 seeds) Silver Corn (20-30 seeds) Table Queen Squash (just a few, I need to recount) Garlic Chives (5 seeds) Straightneck Early Yellow Squash (10 seeds) Detroit Dark Red Beet (15-20 seeds) Alaska Pea (10 seeds) Black Beauty Eggplant (20 seeds) Early White Vienna Kohlrabi (about 10 seeds) Dark Green Zucchini (5 seeds) Sour Cherry Tree - these came from Cherries I picked last year at a friends house in NE, I don't remember the actual cherry tree name but they are bright red and perfect for pies and jams! (10 seeds) Herbs: Cress (about 40 seeds) Parsley-moss curled (40-60 seeds) Salad Burnet (20-25 seeds) Flowers: Cigar Plant (5-10 seeds) Morning Glory-flying saucers (GONE) Purple Nicotiana (these helped keep rabbits out of my garden) (seeds to small to count, just tell me if you want a few or a lot of seeds and I will send some to you) Mix of purple and pink Petunia seeds (same as Nicotiana, just let me know if you want a few or a lot of seeds, too small to count) Unknown seeds - I know they are flowers and I know they don't get very tall because I did not have very tall flowering plants last year, but I forgot to label the seeds I collected so if you want a surprise flower in you garden, then pick these! My only guess is marigold, but don't hold it against me if that is wrong! (about 15 seeds) I also just ordered some seeds on ebay but the packets contain more than what I want. If you don't mind waiting an extra week before getting them, then here is what I will have to trade by next week: Strawberries (10 seeds) Romaine Cinnamon Lettuce (about 100 seeds) Sunflower Seeds, Mammoth Grey Stripe (about 20-30 seeds) Below are the seeds I would like: Jumbo Cabbage (the cabbages that frequently grow 12+ pounds) ***Different types of Pole beans*** (what I want the most!) Watermelon seeds (small ones like sugar baby and also seeds for larger watermelon seeds) Sugar Snap Peas Different types of lettuce Atlantic Giant Pumpkin (I only need 1-2 seeds) I no longer need any peppers because I have a lot that are being sent to me. I will also consider herbs and flowers but above is what I really want. Some herbs I will take, most flowers I won't. I have a small yard and already have what bulbs I will be putting in and I don't have much more room left for flowers but if you have something fun or strange, I will consider it :)...See MoreI like Sunburn... Who Else?
Comments (10)Wow Kevin I'm surprised your temps have been higher than ours. We have a day of 90, the back down to 70's. I take temps off the growing area. It can be 68º in the shade in the afternoon on an 80º day. Brrrr! On one of the Mehitabel phal posts I stated my bellina types had been bud stalled. When I finally did a "bloom or fry", buds opened... lost a lower leave, No biggie. Its growing a huge new leaf. I have the choice: Approaching 90º or more by 10 am in the sun or upper 60's or low 70's in the small band of shade. Then the wind some days is brutal. Its a tough grow. (Creatures only add to the issues) Some thought Howard had snapped his cap by saying keep them indoors. I may not have seen some of the strong, quick growth, but ultimately H was right. (what's new? LOL) I wouldn't have lost anyone, they would have moved along steadily but slowly. I would have gone broke trying to manage the temps and light indoors trying to do right by them. Honestly, I was curious to see how it was outdoors compared to FL. (Horrible & Savage). So I decided to put some out. If the summer continues to be cool, they will come back inside where I can manipulate my conditions. Mother Nature is doing a bad job of it this summer. This has not only caused fungus by being too cool but now I have joined the raging Critter Jihad. Just becomes a lot to handle. Select plants will remain out, the rest are coming inside. I put my stalled twinkle out there. (thanks Kevin and Whitecat) Its still stalled but I haven't gone "Fry or bloom" on it.... yet. It was a "Ha __________nn's root rot special". It's growing new roots. I have it in the shade. The spikes will stay stalled until I can get up the guts to stick out under my Tenuifolia or Sharry baby. Needed to see some root growth first. "Fry or bloom" is slated for next week. I give them a little time in the shade. Execpt for Tenuifolia. That takes full sun all day and is the shade for some other smaller 'chids. Not a burn mark on the tenuilfolia's. Those are potted in a special way so Tenuilfolia takes full sun without a problem. The Phals and twinkle are classic examples of what Mehitabel was observing about temps and pro growers, manipulating the growing process by heat and light.... Just to get off on a tangent for a sec. I notice that OHG orchid's will look a little less than perfect more often in the winter, while the other major grower in my area will have lovely looking plants and manipulate their G/H conditions for appearences. Which plant will ultimately be the better plant? OHG. They give it all they got and yes, they burn come spring in their G/H. That's why I always say, "Call OHG". They remove them from their website until they re-acclimate. I'll take them either way. I know they have done a great job. I benefit when I buy an OHG plant. Never get a root rotted plant from OHG, they don't burn under my indoor set up and have been the hardiest outdoor growers. NBS is really NBS on steroids! The "other G/H's" plants always have rehab issues and they charge way more than OHG. Same problem with HD plants. Maniplulated for appearances. They are the bulk of my Orchid hospital rehabs. Hang onto that Spanish speaker of your's, Kevin. Cloud Forest Orchids Rock! Have a seedling Chysis outside who burned and then grew the tinest of new leaves. So small I can't photograph. K, you have a very cool collection. (No pun intended) Clara From the Manual: "Col. Klevin's Squirrel Bootcamp 101"... No pain no gain :-)...See MoreI have a cotoneaster and I would like to know what type?
Comments (5)If a shrub of some size, could be Cotoneaster lucidus or lacteus, but there are a number of smaller growing evergreen forms as well. C. lacteus in particular is distinctive for having a lighter, softly tomentose underside to the foliage. Difficult to make a firm ID without seeing the foliage and form in detail....See MoreIf I like Milo Baughman, then who else?
Comments (4)I think his stuff is nice. I got a pair of chairs on CL for $40 but they need to be recovered. My daughter scoffed them up and will get them recovered when she decides what color to use. They have the bucket shape and the separate legs the bucket sits on. VERY comfortable furniture and a good scale, not too small like other vintage chairs! Great style for what is more affordable than most modern pieces that are vintage....See Moresorceresslelia
