Introducing Clementine
4 years ago
She and my older Chihuahua are loving each other. Duchess the Chihuahua doesn't like going on more than short walks but Clementine loves walking around the neighborhood with me; good for her, good for me. She is a Labrador, and a smart and happy puppy. I thought long and hard whether I should get a pup, me being a senior, but I've made arrangements, and I'm glad she is part of the family.

Help with potted Clementine
Comments (20)Tasty, as per my other post on the other site I think it's too far gone. Did you use Garden Lime? How long did the re-pot process take, where the tree was out of the container? Did you mist the roots during the process? Did you layer the soil around the roots vertically, or put the rootball in the container and pack soil downward into the container? One year shouldn't be too long for a severely compacted soil, assuming you bought it "fresh" from a reputable nursery a year ago. I.e. the tree hadn't sat in the nursery for a year or two before you got it. However, that doesn't mean that over-watering issues didn't slowly creep up OR that somehow even one day of leaving the container exposed to cold temps --- then re-potting and bringing it outside to the heat brought about the loss of foliage. Cold damage to the rootball (root loss) during winter won't show up until the tree is introduced to outside dry hot direct sun temps. I'm about to lose a citrus that was in a very bad mix for 3 years. The tree struggled in the poor mix but never looked like near death. But I KNEW it was getting worse and changing it out was inevitable. It's almost gone now, having transplanted to the 511 mix a month ago. After transplant it immediately started dropping leaves and it continued despite my care. It would be easy for me to think it was the 511, but it was inevitable. The original mix was so compacted I lost too many roots during the re-pot process....See MoreUPDATE: Adopt-A-Newbie ongoing list 3
Comments (150)Hello everyone, I am from new mexico, zone 7a. I have been using the site for reference for quite a while now and finally decided to make an account. I am an avid seed collector (and grower of course) and was quite excited to find this forum. This newbie board is a great idea and I will definitely be contributing to it in the future :D At the moment I am living in an apartment so I am doing container gardening mostly, flowers and herbs atm, also trying a passion flower vine and a few silk trees. I am interested in succulents, cacti, and really I am open to try anything new. I really want to start growing most of my own food within the next couple years so veggies of all kinds would be greatly appreciated. I have more than one property I am growing at, so I am in no way limited on the types of plants I can grow. Thank you for the help and I look forward to our future exchanges :D -Gabe...See MoreUPDATE: Adopt-A-Newbie ongoing list 3

Comments (34)Thanks guys for your kind words :)) So it is official now, my tree is named Laura :) ( I hope our citrus friend Laura won't mind). Dev, I agree with you on the fact, that before, here in Canada it was hard to get citrus trees, that's why in 2015 I ended up obtaining citrus from Europe (my larger citrus tree, which is not fruited yet). By the way, I found the old pics of that tree, when I got it in the mail in October 2015 ( just a stick with roots wrapped in plastic): And here it is now outside, driving me crazy with it's growth pattern ( the lemon branch of it): Please, give me advice on how to tame the lemon branch, it grows faster than the orange branch (See my other post http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/4278645/fruit-salad-tree-not-flowering-help). As for my small salad tree in the making, Brian, for now I am going to graft on it Meiwa kumquat first and some other light weight citrus fruit grafts, my concern is the tree is still very young and the branches are still too weak, I want to develop good root system on it and get it bigger in size. I up potted it yesterday in ProMix and here is the picture (she is on the right): It had good roots and not root bound, I can get away with repotting it this time of the year, it can grow over the summer with plenty of room to grow. This was the second time I repotted it this year, the first one was around February of this year....See More
