still waiting on my tree to get here i hate waiting
Comments (21)Years ago I ordered a lime tree from the same company. It takes them forever to ship out. I received the tree after about a month of waiting. Calling and giving bad reviews didnt help. When the tree arrived it was exactly what i expected for the price: a small rooted cutting. It was a great tree to practice citrus culture on because it was so inexpensive...I eventually killed it and learned from the growing experience. My current citrus are from Four Winds....See MoreIf ya don't like the weather in MN, wait 5 minutes
Comments (9)Melissa, that is a great project for end of the winter. I had some plastic labels stuck in the tipped pots which were found loose on the mulch. however, I did manage to get them back to the right place. My real chore is relettering all the PERMANENT INK that faded from intense sun and rain. Quick, before all trace of the name is gone. Do you etch or mark with ink on your metal labels?...See MoreIm new at this.
Comments (5)I suggest that you take some time to read about propagation techniques for the individual plants that you are interested in. The size of the cuttings, location of cutting, removal of leaves, time of year the cutting is made, etc. can make a big difference in the success of your project. I'd say that it is the treatment of the cutting (and not the medium) that is the important factor...or at least just as important. What kind of cypress are you talking about? I can't speak to the use of Profile as a propagation medium. I almost wonder if the particles are too large. You'll really have to monitor the watering. Does Profile have the same texture as Turface? If you use google as your search engine, you will come up with several sites that discuss the propagation of bougainvillea. You can compare what you read to your technique!...See MoreSTILL waiting for spring but starting more seeds anyway
Comments (0)So, what are the chances our temps will stay in the 70s when it finally warms up next week? On Sunday, I found saved seeds hiding in a spot that had gone untouched for a couple years because I just knew what was in there--and that wasn't seeds. I planted a couple dozen extra tomatoes. (After my mom died, I found tomato seed packs over a decade old in her collection. I put a whole pack out at the same time and I think they all sprouted!) I'm planing to interplant mine around the whole yard. I also found hollyhocks, marigolds and zinnias, along with some mystery seed (I'm a seed thief and sometimes don't mark things), and some peas and Kentucky wonder beans. I expect a little success with them but they're all direct sow in my garden, so I'm waiting for the weather gods to let it warm up. All the seeds now live on top of the counter in the kitchen so I don't put them back into a Good Spot and forget about them again. ttfn pk...See More
