Comments (12)I plan to come this year and bring a new friend, my co-worker's mom. Sylvia, I have an abundance of manfreda that thrives in sunny, hot locations. I'll bring some for you. I also have some agave protoamericana pups that like the same conditions. I think that they top out at around 4X4. I have a nice patch of the comfrey that you shared with me some years back. Pretty blue flowers!...See MoreVeggie Tales - April 2020
Comments (640)It's a very rainy last day of April here in the DC area. In between the Zoom meetings I had today, I managed to take some time out for the balcony garden. I transplanted a few Yellow Spanish Onion seedlings into their own cups.. I plan to eventually plant them with my tomato plants when I put them in their permanent pots. I also thinned out my pepper seedlings. Sadly, once again, it looks like the tomato seedlings I started myself won't make it again. This same thing happened last year... they get a few true leaves and then they die off. I don't understand what the issue is. If there's some secret I'm missing to starting tomatoes please let me know! However, I do have one Brandywine seedling that's hanging on. I also did a fresh round of seeds last weekend (cukes, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, basil, oregano, dill), and as of this morning at least one of each variety has germinated. Other goings-on on the balcony... A few of the onion seedlings I transplanted Cilantro (used some last night in a homeade mango habanero salsa!) Habaneros were frozen from last years garden.. Garlic still going strong... hardnecks on the left which are doing way better than the softnecks on the right.. Peppers (that I thinned out after this was taken), squash, and (dying) tomato seedlings hardening off Cherokee Purple and San Marzano tomato I bought from local nursery...See MoreOBF April 2020 Swap……Roll Call
Comments (77)Shirley, do you dig a bunch of plants and sell them bare root or do you repot before taking to the market? Seems like a lot of work either way. It was a beautiful day here too but I didn't do anything in my yard. Went to the park instead and enjoyed their wildflowers. Nikki, I'd love to see some pictures of your surrounding desert flowers. I watch the home remodeling shows in California more for the scenery than the remodeling. I love checking out all the beautiful flowers. Texas has a lot of cactus and I used to not like anything that even resembled cactus. Now I like them and even have a few. I've created a bed out front with Agave and Texas Red Yucca. The Texas Red Yucca is on the left side and in front of the salvia is Fall aster. I'm trying to control the size of the agave by keeping it in a pot. (I know, not real cactus lol)...See MoreShow Us Your Landscape/Gardens - A Photo Thread - April 2020
Comments (48)Due to a knee injury, I don’t downhill ski any more, but even when I still skied, no one ever did more than one run with me. ;>) I didn’t learn to alpine ski as a kid because I was clutzy and because OH is mostly too flat and too warm, so learning when I was in my mid20s, I never totally got the hang of it. I was a slow skier, though I enjoyed it. So I would go to the ski area with others, but mostly skied on my own. (DH was a beautiful skier having started as a young kid since there was the community ski slope in his back yard, literally. Parents ran the tow. He raced in HS along with the other kids who learned to ski in his back yard.). http://www.nelsap.org/nh/canterbury.html...See Moreundertheoaksgardener7b
