Planted onion sets today, crazy?
Comments (11)Same here - time to plant onion plants. But sets? Sets are almost always long-day varieties and you live in short-day land. Didn't know Texas 1015Y (I think that is what you mean), which is a short-day variety, was available in sets. Dave...See MoreThis might sound crazy, but.....
Comments (5)I chart everything and am careful to get every piece of a clump when I discard and in over fifty years of growing irises, mine have never turned yellow or purple or white. Why haven't I had color change in my garden? If color change has happened to you, it probably is because you left a piece or two of a very vigorous grower which came up and crowded out the other varieties. Or, a seed pod left unharvested, spilled, dropped to the ground and sprouted. It is genetically impossible for an iris to change color. MAN can change color by sticking a stalk in a bottle of water that has food coloring in it. THAT is the only way to change the color of an iris already planted in your garden. Man changes color by hybridizing new varieties, but that is a different story. There may be many surprises that can come in color range from one pod. If irises change colors, watch for color changea in your daylilies, roses, or any blooming plant, shrub, or tree. Walter Moores...See MoreSo crazy it just might work?
Comments (1)I dont think its really going to show too much. When dealing with these larger width boards and only an inch difference its going to be hard for some people to notice. My biggest concern is just making sure the tongue and groove on both the 7 and the 8" will fit without too much effort....See MoreCrazy idea the just might work!
Comments (6)Thanks for your come back! I have the orange epis all over my garden (central florida), I give them away like you mentioned. I have since started to collect all the colors hoping they would thrive like the orange, not so. They are not nearly as vigorous so far although they are beautiful and show bloom all through the year. I have rose, baby pink, red, yellow, lite purple, dark purple and have just aquired one that comes out pale yellow and turns to peach and pink as they mature. I would love to have a display of all these colors through the landscape and it would give me some starts for trading. I am gonna take a shot at it anyway and will post my result. Another question for you, I signed up for this web just before the format changed. I very much enjoyed some wonderful trades off the list. Where, on this site, do you find listings of trades available. I have some maxillaria tenufolia splits that are going strong and all are blooming, would love to trade these and others to build my collection. Could you advise me on this or do you know of other sites for this purpose. Again, thank you for you comment, have a wonderful spring! Susan...See MoreAmyinOwasso/zone 6b
