New to plumerias, first summer with my new favorite plant!
Comments (3)Hi and welcome. Do you know what kind your plants are? I think our resident North Carolinian is Mona. She is a regular poster and will be able to give great advice tailored to your locale. Fertilizers can be made as complex or simple as you want it. As you get more comfortable with your new Plumerias you can always experiment with other fertilizers but for right now I would look for a more forgiving balanced fertilizer such as Osmacote 14-14-14 or use what you have and adjust longer the application schedule AND cut the dosage down by at least half to prevent salt build up in your soil. Leaves turning brown from the bottom of the plant are easily surmised as they are done and the plant no longer has use for them. If it continues past the bottom most leaves then it could be other issues such as too much or too little water. The best thing is be consistent and observe then adjust until you come up with your sweetspot. Good luck....See MoreMy New Favorite Tomato
Comments (5)Don't worry. I'm not making a recommendation. I'm just sharing/musing (not trying to persuade). I realize that different things perform differently in different conditions, and I'm not anti-hybrid. Have you tried Atkinson or Walter? I think they're probably the most disease-resistant OP varieties I know about; not sure how they perform in practice in hot, humid areas (but some people in such areas like Atkinson, at least; Walter isn't as well known). Disease isn't the issue we have here much, though, and we probably have different strains than you anyway (I've never noticed a correlation between disease resistance and which tomato plants get diseased in our garden; it seems pretty random). The real problem here is stunting from plant stress from the growing conditions. For some unknown reason, a surprisingly high percent of the commercial F1 hybrids get stunted (same for determinate tomatoes, but I don't usually grow many determinates anyway). I'm still trying to figure out why, but it's not the mere crossing of two varieties that does it: Accidental crosses tend to do really well by comparison. The stunting could be coincidence. Such happens, but it would be a pretty big coincidence. Hybrids that have done well here include these: Early Girl, Lemon Boy, Husky Cherry Red, Husky Red, Tidy Rose, Early Treat, Big Boy, Valley Girl (sans the early BER), and Celebrity. (So, they don't all get stunted.)...See MoreFirst Frost might be my new favorite.
Comments (11)My First Frost is down for the count this year. But the good thing is that I moved it in Sept. to a place I'll get to see it more. It was being overwhelmed and hidden by so many other plants growing over it that every time I walked by I hardly noticed it. I've always like the color combination of First Frost and hope it puts on a good show next season. ......Another one I have that reminds me of FF is El Nino. I dug out the bearded Iris around that one so hope to be able to appreciate El Nino more next year, too!...See MoreHelp me find my new favorite white capri/cropped pants
Comments (29)Totally appreciate all the comments here. I will go back and acknowledge them each. I did try to find the Oxy White Revive but so far no luck. The remnant of the stain is still there, but pretty faint. I am going to wear them ( they're not formal wear after all, and the stain is below the knee and at this point, if you look for it you will see it but it you don't seek it, I think it is not visible). I guess also nothing really grabbed me. I may try the democracy and or the NYDJ in the interim. Well 1929 I was super excited to see on ebay ( I swear I searched but clearly I don't have your skills). I was about to buy but they just looked different, maybe shorter. So I went and looked at my jeans and they are Denizen Modern Crop ( also they are not stretch. Stretch might be good). The cuff is different and the shape was different. I did try a bit more searching but no luck. I didn't realize how many detailed photos there were of the label and all the sku numbers..so that's an option. Thank you thank you thank you. I will stick with the skinny capris for now....See More
