Yes, indeed some did ask me, then I tell them you just try,
then you're often surprised how much they can take!

I'm sure even more people will wonder how I do that when everything is bigger.

Well, if I'm realistic, 99% of the people will envy you.

The other 1% will be astonished...

I have some additional pictures of my garden.

The fruits of the Kalebasse grow from 20cm to 1 Meter in only one week!
since I posted the picture last week, I have harvested 7 pieces!

They start blooming at sunset to ten or eleven next morning.

This one I love very much. Many times they have lots of different colours on only one plant. They also bloom from evening to close to lunch time next day.

Here a very tough coconut look alike palm. It's the mountain coconut parajubaea torallyi var. torallyi. Hardy to aproxx. -5 degrees.
That would be the right, extraordinary palm for you Dalmatiansoap!

As an endemit and a new market palm, Parajubaea torallyi is veeeery expensive.

Nice garden. But I thought that Kalebasselives only one year and then you have to plant it again. Does it survive our frosts?

You are welcome. What do you mean with "leed" me?

Parajubaea torallyi are not as expensive anymore as you may think.
Last year where lots of them on e-bay.
I bought mine maybe a year ago for something around 35 Euro.

Jack, you are right the Kalebasse is an annual.

35€ is still too much for me.

So how do you manage to have your Kalebasse so grown? Do you protect it somehow?

maesy · 08-17-2009, 12:22 PM

No, it just grows like crazy.

So just keep it where it is overwinter?
Just harvest it and let it climb a construction?

maesy · 08-18-2009, 10:10 AM

It is slowly dying in September - October. Just like like pumpkins, cucumbers, melons and others.

But do you have to take the seeds inside for winter, or can they survive those frosts?

maesy · 08-20-2009, 11:23 AM

I don't let the fruits ripe out. So the seeds are no good.
I buy them here in a bigger garden centre. If you are interested, I can send you some for next year.

Today we have the hottest day this year with 33°C at my place. Some places are measuring up to 36°C.

We have had 36°C this year on several occasions, 7 times in July the temps went above 35°C (and one time in June).
Now it's only been the usual, 30°C. Tomorrow should be hotter, but not 36°C. More like 31 or 32.

Wow. Do your garden centres usually sell trop. vegatable pre-plants? Interesting.

Count me in for any.

Sometimes. This one they already had for a few years, but nobody knows them!

Interesting. People in here don't even grow palms, agave, yuccas or anything like that. Even though technically I'm zone 8a in here (2 out of 3 last winters even zone 8b...

).

Hello Goingbananas and welcome from Croatia

Jack Daw · 08-21-2009, 03:22 AM

Goingbananas, now those are some beautiful banana patios.

Goingbananas2009 · 08-21-2009, 06:43 AM

Thx, hello to you all.

I've been interested in bananas en palmtrees for a couple of years now.
I have a few trachy's and a wagnerianus also. I have just bought some seeds of Sabal minor/Sabal palmetto/ Ravenala madagascariensis/ Trachycapus princeps en Musa formosana... I'm still looking for other species of musa or ense to add to my collection. Do you guy's have anything for trade?
