    Brugmansia cuttings Giveaway

    OK, as promised, here's the cuttings. I want to also post not only for you, but so I can keep a kind of journal on their growth and progress. Note the Creamy Peach are in soil mix. This is because they are already rooted pieces, I just yanked from bed and repotted. Those in perlite are sitting...

    Anyone have cute ideas for veggie markes? (Pics Please)

    I can't get the pics to show up in Vfem's photo lineup. :( jktrahan, love the wooden spoon idea, that's unique! And Chickie'sMomaInNH, that's a great idea too. I've always got them laying around, I wish you'd post a picture, those sound like they'd be so nice. Murano farms, nice site...wish I...

    To pinch or not pinch strawberry blossoms..Here's my answer...

    Thanks from me too Journey. And very glad I read this thread, I have a 5 ft. tall strawberry tower that is only half filled in. I was pondering which type to order to fill in the top. You have just made my mind up for me. I ordered 'Surecrop' 25 plants, from Parkseed a few minutes ago. The other...

    I have STRAWBERRIES!!!

    I'm jealous Rich. My 'bed' if you will; is new this year. Will be next year before fully going. I do have a few green berries. Patience is a great virtue when you're a gardener.

    Not silly at all, I think it's a great idea. Especially since you already have the enthusiasm and most likely enough seed varieties to get going on such an endeavor. I can't wait to hear the end result of this story, and see the fruits these plants make. ;) edit: Lol, I have to put mine out in...

    Tried my hand at some weed smoldering over the weekend..

    I agree with everyone else. I have a Meyer's lemon that I have twice hoed the drip circle of, hand-pulled and recovered with mulch. Just yesterday I noticed the $#@! grass is back and with a vengance. I'm not giving up though, I'm going to keep pulling the roots and stolons in larger and larger...

    Help protecting plum trees from insect larvae

    How tall are the trees Alpha? I'm with netting them, and making a journal with the notation(s) of exact dates these insects show up, so I can begin to get a grasp on when they may be coming. I wonder what they are? Maybe someone here will recognize the life cycle and habit and identify them. I...

    harvesting sunflowers?

    I have found that when they're ready to go, they don't really need to 'be pulled,' persay, as much as slightly brushed with back of hand and they'll come loose. Beetles get mine. I really grow them for the squirrels. We cut the whole head off when ripe, and place like an offering on their...

    Pin head sized black beatles with spots on my flowers?!?

    Sounds like flea beetles, at least that's what we call them down here. Nasty little devils, eat pinholes through all leaves, love veggies.

    Brugmansia cuttings Giveaway

    Brugs are angels, daturas are devils. (Angel's trumpets and Devil's trumpets) It is said, that the Angels look down from the skies, (hence the downward bloom) and that the Devils look towards the heavens, and you have the upward facing bloom. They are both related very closely, and some are even...

    Garlic tricks anyone?

    Journey, then that sounds good for me. I won't let them dry out, I was actually worried they were going to get too much water. Ober, what's a scape? Is this a seedhead, or beginning of one? TY for that info, I didn't know that and will definitely remove for bigger bulbs. Loving garlic as I...

    Brugmansia cuttings Giveaway

    I'd really enjoy that Vfem. I always send photos of my plants (given through trades) to their respective owners. Especially after they flower or fruit, so I can show them the bloom. This very year, I have a clerodendrum 'tree' that I think will finally flower. I'm dying to send the giver a...

    Garlic tricks anyone?

    Thanks very much Journey. Does it want full sun? We get intense summer heat, and lots of humidity/rains from June through October. I can cut in sand (lol, plenty of that!) for better drainage, but wondering about sun. Our summer temps are between 88 and 93/94. Any more advice on this then? ;)...
