Re: Newbie's First Year -- Pictures and Questions
mskitty: Thanks for the encouragement on the Orinocos. I hope they take off when the weather gets back down to the 80s.
stumpy: You are right about the NPK ratio. I am too cheap to buy anything but lawn fertilizer, so I end up with something like 15-5-10. I should be supplementing with additional potassium of some sort. . .food for thought!
Deb: Thanks for your words of encouragement. I really hate how the wind shreds the leaves (usually right after a big beautiful leaf emerges). I will definitely take more pictures in the fall, just before Jack Frost arrives to put the hurt on the patch (snif!).
Cheers,
Ed.
