Today I planted several Clivia miniata in pots in-between my dragon fruits. Two of them are orange variety. I dug them up from the area that my banana plat construction is starting. The other two are the "American Yellow" cultivar which I purchased 2-for-1 at the orange box store yesterday. Here's a picture of one of the yellows, in between some annual Lupine and Hylocereus.

Planted two 4-inch peat pots containing rooted Pomegranate (Punica granatum) cuttings. Before putting 3 inches of fine-textured natural bark on the top of the planters, I sprinkled Triazicide granules sparsely on the soil to kill any grubs that might attack the developing roots; plus a 1/8 cup of 46-0-0 Urea in a 5-inch diameter circle around the cutting, and a 1/4 cup of 0-0-22 K-Mag on the outside perimeter of the tree rings shown in the photos.

Pomegranates "Golden Globe" and "White Flower":



After putting down the bark, I spread Slug & Snail granules around the perimeter of the planters to keep them away from the new plants, and also installed rings of garden welded-wire fencing to keep browsing pests from sampling the plants. In the background behind the pomegranates is my Bababerry (a raspberry variety) patch, which has grown to 6 feet high!

Yesterday (luckily as today we have torrential downpours) I planted 2 Acerola - Barbados cherry (malpighi glabra) sent up by a friend in Santo Domingo. Also about 18 rooted rose cuttings and sowed seed for sweet orange (as opposed to the sour ones that are grown here and are wonderful for marinades), citrus mitis and passiflora edulis as only flaviocarpa is available locally. Sowed seed under the shade of the papaya for lettuce, spring onions and various tomato, as well as some flowers - marigolds for the garden in a friend's bar. Oh yes - butternut squash too - with the melon growing in the compost heap we will be overrun with vines shortly, and when the passiflora edulis flaviocarpa that I hacked down recently takes off - help!!! My machete arm is feeling tired already! Having been away recently in England - I need to get the garden under control. The torch ginger needs to be thinned, and the palm hedge should be hacked back so that we can walk along the paths, and the heliconias - well enough said!! But with the humidity my orchids are looking great.

Sorry - I got carried away - Cassie

Way to go, Cassie, sounds like your very busy.

Today we went up to the finca with the streams that our friend James bought, and took him some trees. His sheep had got loose and eaten all his moringa oliefera trees, so we took him the one we had pot grown (now nearly 6ft tall so we were glad to get rid of it), also some crape myrtle and pink grapefruit. Sorry mskitty that I didn't get back to you about the moringa, but apparently it comes from India and all parts of the tree are edible/useful - which is why the sheep liked it obviously. We put a chicken-wire cage around this one as there is no more seed left - it must need to be sown very fresh as the older seed (1 month) didn't germinate. Funny how different people have different capabilities - my neighbour is ace with seeds and especially herbs, whereas I am useless with herbs and so-so with seeds, but good with cuttings. haha! horses for courses I think!

I planted a peach tree a week and a half ago. I am very new to growing plants. Nothing has come up yet. Does anyone know anything about how long it takes for peaches to come up?

Mason - did you crack the stone first? I haven't grown peaches from pits for a long time - but I think they take a long time.

Cassie

Mason

Yes, I just put the pit in the ground about 3/4 of an inch deep.

Thank you!
