trying to post a picture - test and tryout.
Comments (21)Ho Cath, it only looks tidy cos no-one is in it! 30 seconds after the whirlwind of children, dogs, DOGS (one is gigantic),cats and my own messy self, there is barely a surface left without teacups, biscuits, newspapers and books,dog flowers, old bikes and the astounding number of special seating things for a child who has the smallest ass in the house yet requires at least 6 different immense chairs. For the non-posters among us, it has been an impenetrable mystery to me and every year has been frustrating because I simply forget what is in the garden (well, more the allotment which is bigger and really is messy). Digital cameras are (I think) fairly easy to use but I have come to the conclusion that being given someone else's old one is a bad mistake - there is always a crucial component missing and hardly ever a manual of use. I am going to buy a new (cheap) one and we can all learn together - that is one of the really good things about this forum. Allowances will be made for non-techies. I think we could all agree to be online at roughly the same time and try to encourage each other through the process. Dont feel bad about not being able to do it - it is not something you can work out intuitively, at least those of us who have not worked with PCs - we need the step by step guidance of someone with patience (probably not me, then) but we owe it to ourselves to make our garden images visible at any time of year, just for our own pleasure....and if we get to share, then that is brilliant....See MorePlease post your pictures of your citrus partying outdoors. Pics.
Comments (142)My citrus have started the party out doors. Nagami kumquat in very bad shape but I believe it will live.. It is marked with the flying baseball cap. the crown marks my sweet lee tangerine tree. It was on its death bed then and is doing very well since planting there. The large tree below is my seed grown meiwa kumquat tree. In the process of moving it in and out I dropped it once and forgot to put in the spacer and burned the trunk with the light bulb. It has lost 1/3 of its leaves and shows no sign s of growth the smaller tree is a seed grown nagami kumquat. It is doing very well. 3 happy sweet lee tangerine trees from seed in bottomless gallon food tins. I had placed 3 sweetlee trees and a nagami kumquat tree in the community garden. Squirrels dug 3 sweetlee trees and the nagami up, one was replantable but died. the seed grown nagami was in critical damaged and was moved on to the roof as seen in the flying baseball cap. All four trees were very un happy not because the were grown from seed Here is a link that might be useful: http://s1094.photobucket.com/user/wreristhechimney/slideshow/Seed%20grown%20Meiwa%20kumquat%20tree...See Morehaven't posted for a while but have a update with pics
Comments (15)I never quite thought of it that way but my "fear of salty foods in worm bins" is not for the sake of the worms but for the plants the vermicompost may help to grow. Typically salt is kept out of plant growning mediums. Worms may do fine with what bit if salt may find them. If fed BSFL castings they may have even saltier kibbles and bits. I would still endever to obey my fear of salt in additoins to the bin. Although I may of given up a bit of ground while laughing heartly over my fear of salty foods in worm bins I find it much harder to conceed over the need for air. I do not find the need for air/ventilation at all exaggerated. If anything I dream of a worm bin with sides as air condeming as chicken wire. I wonder if the drainage holes in bins are actually more useful as air holes. I have no explination for the kept fishing worms in small tight lidded Styrofoam containers for weeks without ill effects. But would agree that worms kept cool need less air due to their bedding needing less air due to microbes needing less air. hhiii, any interest in making a few more nicks in the rim/molding/insulation of the bin and putting the cover firmly back on to see if the worms would also congrigate along the air free flow areas? A balance between keeping warm and keeping airated is what I guess you are looking for....See More'Rosette Delizy'
Comments (41)I think you're right, Lisa. I tried the smaller petaled Noisettes in Encino, the same zone as you are in, though in a different spot in CA than you are, and the flower petals fried as they opened. I had a client who grew one in Stevenson Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley (Zone 9a). The plant grew like oatmeal on a two year old and flowered heavily, but the flowers fried as they opened. Those small, soft petals demand protection from the intense heat and UV or they fry quickly. Having some sort of shade to protect them would definitely help. The plants, themselves, were great. I just never got to enjoy the blooms. They were consistently "potpourri"....See More
