Steve, Thank God we don't have earwigs indoors! Also, with hydroponics there is no dirt!! Here is another plant for the indoor war on bugs: Dianthus – It seems that insects abhor the spicy clove scent of cottage pinks as much as we love it. A big plus is that in a few weeks it will covered...

I saw this today and thought I'd share it.

It is a hybrid so I have never seen so much as an image of the flowers.

In one of the photos of the doe I could tell that she was nursing. Today, she was standing by the side of the driveway with twins. :rolleyes: Just what we need, more deer.

Early in 2017, we had a speaker at the orchid society meeting and as is customary the speaker brought plants for sale. The speaker receives no fee but member plant sales are suspended if the speaker is bringing plants. By the time I arrived all he had remaining were dendrobiums that he had...

A small container of commercial nectar came with the feeder and I used it after doing some research. "The key point in deciding whether or not red dye is harmful to hummingbirds is simple. There is no conclusive research saying the dye is dangerous to the birds, but there is also no long-term...

You are right about less seeds Steve. I missed it until you pointed it out but will save seeds from one of these. I guess I was too interested in tasting it to notice the seeds. :rolleyes:

Well, sometimes you run into a joker who photobombs your setup. :barnie

I only had a few seeds for these from Italy, but it is a keeper. Prolific plant about six feet tall with fruit all the way up. (Cuor di Bue ou Oxheart) The Heart of Beef tomato (Cuor di Bue or Oxheart) is a large, heart-shaped fruit weighing 250 to 300 g. This old variety has a slight green...

Yes, but I also grow them outdoors. Indeterminate, check them out at Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. I bought seeds once years ago and have been saving them ever since. http://www.southernexposure.com/tropic-vfn-tomato-016-g-p-905.html

It sure is, they just stopped dead after a few tomatoes.

I have been growing the tropics for a number of years, and I have tried the New Yorker. There is no comparison. I am sticking with the tropics, the one on top.

@catjac1975 Congratulations on the picture of the week photo of the hummingbird. I like to shoot them also but I do it the lazy man's way. ;)

Which one would you grow? One of these is a New Yorker, the other is a Tropic.

We are picking zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers. I am happy to report the netting has kept the deer from the pepper plants. Not a single leaf has been touched and my trail cam shows the deer passing the peppers without so much as a glance.

You take it home with you. It haunts your dreams for months. I'd go to jail before I would do it again.

I served on several gory cases and finally had my doctor get me excused, permanently. I did my duty and then some. :bow

Bite your tongue! :he

Well, back to the phalaenopsis seed project. This is about as exciting as watching paint dry; I can't understand how these plants reproduce in the wild other than scattering millions and millions of seeds and relying on pure luck. I replated them again and reverted to the fluorescent light...
