What do you grow for your pets/critters?
Comments (13)singingcrk Angel. well frist one of my horses is Breeze he is in the picture above. He is also blind as a bat at the ripe age of 29. Thus the saying even a blind squirel can find a nut. Breeze shares his pasture with my garden or the other way around. I would only turn himout with a eye on him at all times, but would be out of eye sightwhen was turning the compost pile. That is normallywhen he would hit the goodies. Peas, spinach or what flavorful shallots I had growing. Did I tell you he ate my new gooseberry and current bushes to the ground. Now two things I posted a while ago was on posionous plants site, not a sole picked up on it. you just put in the search either dog or cat or horse or even human and it will pop up what ever is posionous to that animal. Now for horses a great place to even get a idea what they can eat is herbnhorse.com they sell bulk herbs by the lb that are dried, long long list btw. Many flower petals included. I have had horses for over 30 years and not a clue till ws and 2005 they liked tomatoes. I adore tomatoes and sort of went nutty planting way to many seeds. I traded or begged from any one that would trade with me for different tomato seeds. I did alot of research to find good yellow ones and traded for as many as I could. I knew it would work but had not a clue how well. I strongly belive horses loves carrot tops, have yet to see one carrot plant out of all the seeds I planted. See picture of spotted horse aboved, main weeder of carrots, peas and spinach from my property. My property is small and the blind horse has free reign over it. One of my horses will guard anything near his paddock, or eat it and loves to take walks with me to taste test the other tomatoes and found out he liks cosmos flowers /plant and only one type of cukes. I saved the seeds from the cukes he liked and will plant many more of those for him. I do plant alot of grass seeds for these horses and they get bales of hay each day to go with. Have not figured out to to give them some herbs but not whole pots of them yet. I may need to cage in part of my garden to keep one horse and the deer herd out. One day planted out the rest of my containers of ws'ed plants not yet out. Found one horse grazing among them as new treats just planted for him. OUT out of my garden. He hates to get wet so just sounded it by a sprinker hose. Evil grin. that worked to keep him out of my garden most of the summer. How to out fox a blind horse course 101.

Comments (5)I am using dr earth "Liquid Solution" this year. It is 4-4-4 i believe and partially water soluable. I am thinking I may also supplement with some soft rock phosphate for the additional phosphate and calcium as well. Can't say how well the Liquid Solution works as I just started using it. I believe it is going to work better than the fish emulsion i was using as that was primarily nitrogen (4-1-1). John...See MoreWhat is growing in your balcony?
Comments (75)It's been really busy for me at work and I could hardly tend to my garden. Glad to see this thread still alive and kicking. We had a scorching week with temperatures reaching mid 80s last week. I was not really worried about too cold nights. But now I will start prepping my tropicals for indoor. Love all the pictures...beautiful begonias Petrushka. And Rob, as usual enjoyed each of the pictures you clicked. You have an artistic eye for sure :) love the red and white adenium. What is it called and where can I order the plant from? because of the pleasent fall temperatures my plants are blooming like crazy...here are few pictures from this morning: My newest possession, African mask alocasia Today's surprise bloomer- my tropical hibiscus Double thousand bells in profusion- infact this had been blooming crazily since late spring The mandaville has also started setting out lot more buds Few Tropicals Geranium rozanne - this one is actually in ground but couldn't help but sharing...I planted it in spring and it's been happily blooming away since then...low maintenance, shade tolerant long blooming perennial...what more could I ask for :) And lastly I must admit, sharing pictures was a pain this morning. Something went wrong with the new version of software I guess. Hopefully houzz will fix that soon. enjoy your Sunday folks...happy gardening....See MoreDo you grow your Citrus trees inside in winter and what's your set up?
Comments (48)Bklyn, it looks like you are using the same lights as I. Nice. Are those L.E.D light bulbs? Socal very nice. I love that reflection. It looks very bright in there. NO wasted light for sure. Kvetch, you are not kidding there. I can't believe how LONG we have had this cold, snow, and below average temps, and it's not even winter yet. I keep looking at the ten day forecasters outlook and now I see 30's . no 40's. I think I am going to be sick. The ones on the porch I have to water often if I use a fan. If I don't use a fan, it can take a few weeks before they need watering, but they only stay moist thank God. The one in my all season porch, I have to water those every few days because it's much warmer in there, much more sunlight, and I also use fans. LOl. I hear you about window hogging..lol Right now my tree and orchids are competing for the best spot. Jenny, very nice. One of these days I am going to get an Australian lime. Does it produce lots of flowers that smell nice? I would go after the fragrance more than anything.. Laura, didn't it seem like yesterday when we were growing them all outside? Boy do I miss the days when all you had to do was use a hose..((( Yes, all the twist and turns one has to take to get around each tree can be such a pain. Very nice looking too.I hear you got a couple of scale? That's easy to get rid of once and for good. Let me know if you need a suggestion.)...See Moreerasmus_gw
