My garden today, some plants needed ID
Comments (15)St. Maartin??? I AM PACKING MY BAGS!!! My favorite island, Milan. It is so beautiful. I love both the Dutch and French sides. You have some really amazing culinary geniuses in your restaurants. The food was so unbelieveable and the beaches were awesome. I have to get back to your island. My hubby has never been to the caribbean. I will have to surprise him with a trip one day. There used to be a family restaurant, in their home, on the way to Orient Beach. They grew a lot of their own veggies and herbs. Everyone else was interested in the food, I asked for a garden tour!! It was at the a top of the hill before going down to the beach. their food was wonderful but the garden was smashing. They both gave up high stress/big income jobs in the states to start this restaurant and I often wonder if they ever succeeded....See MoreDo I need organic plant food in my new butterfly garden?
Comments (12)I second Jane's suggestion for organic fertilizer and I also use Espoma. I use Flower-tone, however. Mulching is also an excellent suggestion. The advantages to organics like Espoma is that they usually don't burn the plant, they provide valuable micro-nutrients and really encourage growth and flowering. They break down slowly, so they feed the plants a little at a time for a good long period....See More1st & 2nd Plants - ID's Needed for Surprises in my Gardens...
Comments (6)#1 - most definitely oregano. Cut and dry. Might recognize the scent/flavor then....See MorePlant ID: Returning Pollinator Perennials at Community Garden or Weeds
Comments (7)The photos 6 & 8 both look like butterfly weed, a milkweed with orange or yellow flowers. I agree with floral on all three of her IDs, but want to correct what might be misunderstood. The second photo with rue has a Salvia that looks like culinary sage, but I don’t think that the photos after the number 2 are Salvia. Some general suggestions for posts on this forum: take a photo from the side as well as above if at all possible. only put three or fewer photos per post so we don’t have to keep scrolling up and down between the photos and the comments. You will likely get more responses that way....See Morejaviwa
