How many programs do I need? Confused.
Comments (1)mis, It seems you are well informed about your plants and particular enough to want separate programs for each group. I think your current set up is fine but since you don't prefer Rainbird. Find a 4 program controller and your there. Think about staying with two controller because if one goes down you aren't at a big loss(time and money). What about getting rid of the lawn(water hog) and go fully zero-scape?

Comments (3)They've already been hardened off and are growing in seedling mix. I'm sure it's just a standard commercial seedling mix. The seedlings themselves aren't all that big - the largest is maybe 1.5 cm? They are starting to get some spikes, though....See MoreSun or shade?
Comments (5)Gail, Not too many neos will handle 2-3 hours of full Brisbane sun, Neos with leaves that are tough to feel will handle more sun than Neos with supple leaves, Dark coloured Neos will generally handle more sun than the lighter coloured Neos. If you have multiples, I would suggest that you try a few in differant locations but label them, I have moved plants around and forgotten which is which - they can change appearance quite dramatically. Spring is a good time to move plants out into more light to climatise, if you see the leaves fading it is the first signs of burn and they should be moved to less light, pups attached to parents will climatise better than parents - I was told why once but have forgotten. Neos will all generally do well with morning and afternoon light exposure in our climate. Cheers, Rick...See MoreBackyard Nursery
Comments (9)I seem to be learning something new every day. Bakersfield is indeed hot and sunny most of the time. We're basically a desert here. I've recently noted that the concrete of the patio absorbs heat, heats the plants and is in effect responsible for withering some of my saplings and preventing germination of some seeds. That happens even with the window screen coverings blocking some of the sunlight. It's like you need to mist constantly to lower the temperatures, but I can't do that right now. I moved all the seed starter cups into shade and to my delight, some of them started sprouting within a day after the move. Just getting them into the lower temps of shade turned them on! You've got to be observant when you start planting seeds and especially with variety. Read up what others on the web have written about propogation of particular seeds on the web. It helps. If I showed you another picture today, everything except for established seedlings has been moved into shade along the fences, building and between those climbing rose bushes and remarkably, with better results. My Canna x Generalis seeds responded almost immediately after being moved to shade and before that, I just could not get them to germinate, even though other people seem to be saying that they are easy to germinate. I've read some stuff about certain seeds, for example, Cyclamen seeds, where the author of the article describes placing the seed starting medium in dark containers under stair steps in deep shadows to get them to germinate before bringing them out into the sun. And Cyclamen are not mushrooms! Go figure?...See MoreRelated Professionals
