PLanted the first Orange Jasmine seed. It is so hard to get seeds since it rarely fruits. Never attempted to grow its seeds, but after I had the surprise pumkin grow out of the mint, stranger things have been known to happen!

Bob

Great choice, I've grown that even up here successfully with only minor protection as season extension. (cold frame).

This is my first try at Sweet Potato so I'm not sure what to expect. I'm hoping I'm not planting to early or late for South Florida. I ordered these so long ago that I had just about forgotten about them. They came in the mail this weekend so I had to quickly slap together another bed for them to go in as the rest of the veggie garden is filling out.

Fingers crossed...

Bob

Tom , I don't know about growing in your zone but one thing about sweet potatoes is that they're prone to cracking due to water stresses. Keep them evenly moist throughout the season. Wet to dry and visa versa will split them. Good luck. Beauregard makes great mashed and fries too.

I just planted a kiefer pear tree.
Any one know how much truth their is that an orient pear needs to have another orient peart tree or kiefer tree in order to fruit.

My father has only one pear tree of any sort, an Asian Shensiki (sp?) pear, and it bears fruit on its own just fine. I don't know about a Keifer pear tree.

Potted up 55 Brugmansias in 3gallons 50 velutina in 1's and 24 cajun hibiscus. Not sure how many, but I potted what seemed like a zillion coleus into 1 gallons.

A couple days ago, I transplanted seven bell pepper plants (5 California Wonder, 2 Big Dipper) from the Aerogarden starter-kit to peat pots with soil - they're destined for my mother-in-law's garden, and they're already over 6" with many adult leaves.

This makes the total of plants in my living room:
6 Pattypan squash 6"
6 Hubbard squash 8"
4 pumpkin "Big Max" 12"
7 bell pepper 6"
6 cucumber
? green onions
? marigolds
Edit: these were transplanted over the past three weeks.

... plus one pumpkin, three bell peppers, a pattypan, and a cuke that were slow to start, still in the Aerogarden.

Those Garden Starter trays WORK. Next adventure: trying Miracle Fruit from seed the same way!

I planted some regia sundew cuttings today.

I am so incredibly paranoid about these. I have read everything I can find about them, and I got some great advice from the person who gave them to me, but I'm still worried that they're going to die on me. Regias are notoriously difficult, and I'm still a little bit a newbie. But I've followed all the advice I could, so I have high hopes.

Wish me luck!

Patty in Wisc

Today I trimmed roots off 2 cherimoyas & potted back into 8 gal tall tree pot. It lost a lot of soil mix in last 3 years!
Hoping it will fruit this year. (I'll show you Harvey!)

Well, I finally was able to get a break in the rain and work to get some new plants in the ground the past two days. Got in right at 60 plants in that ranged in size from small 6 pack size plants to 7 gallon plants. Mulch added and ferts added. Now Mother Nature is doing her thing!!! Also repotted quite a few plants and even planted a newly acquired bismarkia palm into a 60 gallon pot....
