does anyone garden/grow medical herbs
Comments (19)I just moved one city away and unfortunately had to leave most of my herbs behind! It was like losing children! Anyway - I have enjoyed herbs for some time and have had many different varieties. I mainly use them for medicinal and metaphysical uses. In my lovely garden I had 3 varieties of lavender, hyssop, chamomile, sweet woodruff, mugwort, feverfew, yarrow, patchouli, 3 varieties of thyme, tarragon, lemon grass, citronella, catnip, jasmine, comfrey, germander, sage, rosemary, digitalis, cilantro, echinacea, parsley, bee balm, arulgula, chives, valerian, goldenseal, st. john's wort, basil, marjoram, black peppermist, spearmint, oregano. You can see why I miss it - all I have now are: lavender, comfrey, thyme, rosemary, basil, bee balm, echinacea, germander, and chives. I wish I had found this forum before I moved - I could have found some good homes for all my babies - all I can do is hope the new owner is appreciative of helpful plants......See MoreWho here has or follows a garden blog?
Comments (32)I wrote a piece in my garden column about how to set up a garden blog. You can view it at: www.carolinacountry.com/cgardens/thismonth/feb22.html. I interviewed David at leavemealoneimdigging.blogspot.com for the article. I enjoy his blog and also love Greensboro Birds (she put her link above, but here it is again: www.greensborobirds.com). Her photography and writing are superb, and it sustained me through the dreary winter. Other blogs I like are May Dreams Garden (maydreamsgardens.blogspot.com) and Tim Wood's The Plant Hunter (plant-quest.blogspot.com/). My own blog is mainly about gardening and nature, with an occasional off-topic entry. I keep a separate "for my eyes only" blog in which I record rainfall amounts, phenology notes, etc. It works so much better for me than the willy-nilly attempt I've made in the past to keep journal entries in Word. The "labels" feature allows you to neatly file things for easy retrieval later. I really had no idea of the immense offerings of the blogosphere until I set up a blog myself. Now I'm hooked on so many blogs, not limited to gardening. My cat even has her own blog! I highly recommend blogging to any gardener.

Comments (36)This winter I again found myself with two babies I recently planted in my backyard. First was a 6 ft tall ( but skinny ) Valencia Pride mango tree I planted 4 1/2 mos ago, to replace the 22 ft giant that I had to cut down in May 2016, ( grew so fast it was blocking half the sunshine from my banana patch ! Live and learn ! ). The other baby is the robust 5 ft tall Ruby Red grapefruit tree I planted 3 months ago. Have already warned the Citrus Greening monster to stay away, - OR ELSE !!! No way was I going to subject these promising beauties to the four nights during the last two weeks, ( low temps all 4 nights between 36 and 30 deg ), that most likely would have killed both trees ! Bad news is it looks like I lost most of the 25 + banana plants, but no way could I have kept them warm,...still undecided whether to replant them or not ! Anyway, I was able to get out two strings of C- 7 Christmas tree lights, two extension cords and a couple of old white sheets from my shed for the two young trees. Needless to say this protection worked like a charm, as it has in the past. The sheets were removed only yesterday ( Friday ) but the C-7's will remain installed till I am sure we here are " out of the woods ! " Both youngsters look great ! The C-7's have always worked for me here on Florida's SW coast, - no need to string the C-9's. Now looking forward to March 1st.,,..will miss the bananas but more concerned about the two young trees, - my fate could easily have been much worse !...See MoreIf You Could Live in Zone 9-10, What Would You Grow?
Comments (51)Yes, in the USA, where people are accustomed to brightly colored peels on their citrus , they would automatically just assume the orange is unripe if the peel is green so I doubt many people would buy them as is. That's exactly why some commercial distributors in this country artificially dye their peels. I've seen oranges, limes and lemons that have clearly had their peels dyed. I used to pick all citrus at market by the color of their peels but after picking many citrus fruit at market with beautifully deeply colored peels in the past only to find them hard, dry and pithy inside, I now know better. Juicy ripe citrus will give a bit to pressure when filled with juice and fully ripe...See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
