Secret Santa Seed Swap 2015 ( 8th year)
Comments (641)Wilsha, I love your beautiful card with the little chickadee sitting on a snowy branch and surrounded by red berries. I really appreciate your words of encouragement! gardengirl37232, thank you for the beautiful card depicting the magic of Christmas with animals of all sorts, predators and prey, at peace with one another. I'll enjoy growing the oregano for my new herb garden. xiangirl, thank you for the sweet card with Santa holding an armful of greenery and wishing "Merry Christmas!" Thank you as well for including packets of two of your favorites -- Gaillardia 'Lemon Queen' and Allium nigrum. Both of those will be welcome additions to my garden! canyonwind, I love the brightly colored card with the festive snowman. I appreciate the good wishes as well. Thank you for the seeds too -- Nigella sativa and one that I must have lost the label from. It will be a fun surprise when it grows! tessie83856, thank you for the beautiful card with the snowy exterior of a home, showing the wreath on the front door, Christmas tree, and sled. An old-fashioned Christmas for sure! I'm delighted with the seeds you shared as well -- California poppies and Salvia 'Coral Nymph.' Diknownana, what a precious card with the little girl carrying a basket of goodies, likely to a friend, and accompanied by her dog and cat. I appreciate the gift of seeds as well -- Gaillardia 'Tokajer,' Celosia 'Forest Fire,' Dianthus 'Cheddar Pinks,' and Agastache 'Apache Sunset.' All of those are perfect for my garden! lorabell, your card is just beautiful! It's red with metallic gold framing a grapevine wreath entwined with poinsettias and holly and the single word "Joy." I'll enjoy all of the seeds you included -- Chrysanthemum 'Cockade,' Poached Eggs 'Spanish Omlette mixed, and Gypsophila ' Elegant Rose.' Thank you! nottougly, I love the pretty card with red and green ornaments and a bit of sparkle. I had some ornaments similar to those with the indentions until my boys pushed on the center of a couple to see what would happen. There are two left, and I'll leave one to each someday. Thank you for the seeds of Marigold 'Moonsong Orange.' I love marigolds, and they do really well in our hot, dry summers when so many flowers give up. redthreaddiy, what a sweet card with the little boy trudging through the snow carrying a wreath with a big red bow and followed by his puppy! You really gave my herb garden a big boost with seeds for lemon balm, thyme, dill, parsley 'Green Pearl,' fenugreek, Christmas basil, fennel, and catnip, which one of my cats discovered this morning and tried to abscond with the baggie! She thanks you, as do I ....I'll have to grow the catnip in a protected spot for sure!...See MoreMy Santa Teresa lemon is wilting in the heat!
Comments (32)Yes Roland, thanks for asking! It has recovered from the sunburn and is putting on growth...but we are back to wilting in the heat!! Ugh...I had to move her back into dappled shade. For that matter, Suzu, I have the same issue with my big Meyer. The new growth is wilting...I did not move him though....he needs to toughen up! He is just too large to move around easily. Even my Oro Blanco, that is tough as nails in the heat wilted ever so slightly (the new growth). It has just been unbearably hot and sunny here lately. I am sure I will be longing for those days come winter, but for now, between the heat and mosquitos, the summer is driving me crazy!...See MoreBizarre Leaf Drying / Wilting Santa Teresa Lemon
Comments (56)Kendra got back to me and below is her response, I guess it could just be a coincidence that both Pac's and my tree are sharing similar symptoms at the same time and the wind damage is what hurt my tree. I don't know what else to do if that's not the case, I don't know how I would prove its dry root rot (or something else) and that it had it before I received the tree. I guess we will just wait and see if my tree recovers. I am reluctant to order another tree from them if its going to have the same problem but there doesn't really seem to be another supplier so I don't really have a choice if I want this variety. Here's hoping this tree makes it through winter. Pac how is your tree looking? Hello there, Thank you for sending over pictures it helps us understand what you are seeing. I’m thinking that coming from our growing houses into a new environment and then getting blasted by some wind has cause this damage. Wind damage on citrus trees often looks like this. I wouldn’t be surprised if these leaves turn brown and crispy, unfortunately it may get worse before it gets better. So if that happens the leaves will probably fall off. You may even want to help them along. As long as your stems/branches stay green and have no die back, and it may take a while but the tree should push some new growth. The Santa Theresa’s are very hardy lemons. Because you live in Oregon this tree is going to need an adjustment period but it should bounce back. Keep us updated!!

Comments (54)Alanna, I just saw your thread. That tree looks great and I would not prune! Mine looked much like that when I got it early 2016. Susanne, no, I don’t. The entire tree is not as wide as 8’, but that is as wide as it gets in the widest dimension. Some other branches may span 5-6’. We had a tough time with that one getting it through the door, but we just bent the branches and tried to bring it in sideways at its least wide angle. In the container it is maybe nearly 1 foot away from the ceiling. It is a gangly tree for sure. Alanna, prepare yourself because yours may end up a lot like mine. It is pretty and has lovely large leaves, but wow, does it take up space!...See Morejinnylea
