What did you plant today (other plants)? - Page 30

Caloosamusa · 03-26-2009, 01:32 PM

I am planting fresh seeds of Myrciaria cauliflora (Jaboticaba) daily, for the last three days!!

Moonshiner · 03-26-2009, 03:45 PM

Two Colocasia esculenta "Black Magic" and 3 Tacca chantrieri 'black' "Bat Flower"

Also re-potted an orphaned orchid of unknown species left to die. We call it Oncidium Mysterioso, and believe we can work some Dr. Frankenstein magic on it.

Well not today exactly, in the last week...

Fished out 3 water lily corms and potted them, they are now in the "nursery tank".

My ginger (edible) bed now has 10 shoots from 2" to 8".

The plants rescued from Lowes (1/4 price) have all responded to sun water and a bit of food and have started to bloom.

The butterfly garden is in now and my night blooming jasmine has buds.

Got a great deal on a bird of paradise 2 gal pot that had 5 healthy plants, have separated them and they have started to put out new leafs.

Today I potted up my new arrival, a 24" saguaro. Legally obtained, of course. Sure looks nice!

Patty in Wisc · 03-29-2009, 07:41 PM

Today I potted up 3 dragon trees (dracaena draco) from a bed they germinated in -planted March 1st. I snuk 4 berries/seeds from a bunch on a 30 yr old tree here at our public domes.
The biggest is 1 1/2 inches & roots are almost 3" long! Waiting for 1 more to germinate.
Too soon to plant out...we has a blizzard last night & snow on ground

Bob · 03-31-2009, 03:47 PM

Planted "Ailsa Craig" exibition onions, they're on both sides of the garden. These grow to impressive softball size. My smallest bananas will be going next to them. The plan is that when the bananas start getting larger by say July , the onions will hbe ready for harvest. I stole this friom lorax' article on mixed culture and adapted it for home use.

I was too tired last night to post, but yesterday I "planted" over 200 seeds of Zamia floridana (pumila). I planted seeds from "Palatka Giant" and a cold tolerant narrow leafed cultivar I've not yet named.

alpha010 · 04-01-2009, 07:40 PM

Today I potted up my Dragon Fruit ( undatus and guatemalensis) and sowed(sp?) 15 seeds of and unknown cultivar of prickly pear....hope my kids learn fast not to touch daddy's plants!! Indoor garden sowing next week...can't wait!

coriander/cilantro (my favourite) and cherry tomatoes

just j · 04-01-2009, 10:14 PM

3 mazari palms seedlings

sandy0225 · 04-02-2009, 09:21 AM

80 rhubarb gallon pots, 18 hanging baskets, 30 flats of tomatoes/peppers/eggplants.
Last week Dad came down and helped me and he did 250 pots of ornamantal grass (gallons) and 72 butterfly bushes (gallon pots). I can't thank him enough. At the same time Mom and I did 250 flats of tomatoes in a few days time. So we're almost ready for spring. But it's supposed to be snow flurries again on Monday

Way to hustle!

sunfish · 04-04-2009, 07:21 PM

Today I planted seeds of Roman Speckled, African Togo and Riesentraube tomatoes.

saltydad · 04-04-2009, 08:55 PM

5 Lily "trees", 3 poppies, 2 tree peonies, 8 Japanese iris, 2 Siberian iris and 1 potentilla.

harveyc · 04-04-2009, 09:39 PM

Howard, I dug up about 50 Japanese Irises where I planted my Ae Ae but still have many more as they've been there since long before we bought the place 15 years ago and keep spreading. Can they over-winter in the ground there?

saltydad · 04-04-2009, 10:32 PM

Harvey- I dug up some Japanese Iris when we put in the pond last spring as they were in the way. What with many other things going on they ended up spending the winter on my patio lying on top of 2 old hanging baskets. They're already sending up new fans!

Planted they do fine also.
