Thanks Richard! I can't wait see them towering above the house.

Sounds like you need to migrate North a little. Is it still that humid now?

Planted some Okinawan spinach courtesy of Scott (captof).

Caloosamusa · 12-28-2009, 03:41 PM

Guavas, small seedlings. The root systems were twice as big as the stem portion of the plants!

Patty in Wisc · 12-29-2009, 06:17 PM

I have a 3 1/2 yr old ice cream that sorta stopped growing (in a pot at south window & a grow lite) so yesterday I cut a 7ft & a 4ft pup off of 8ft (pstems) mama to give mama more energy. I left a 2 ft pup on. I'm still hoping for a flower by next summer.
Mama is in 65gal smart pot & the pups are now in their own 23 gal pots. It sure looks tropical in the living room!

I ordered a 5gal needle palm with some of my christmas money. Still waiting on it to come in the mail, it will be next week. I already have a spot in my greenhouse and a pot ready for it. I also have 5 neddle palm seedlings but after I heard how slow they grow I decided to buy one larger plant. I have a spot on the SE side of my house picked out for it already so it gets part sun and it will be protected from most wind there.

Caloosamusa · 12-30-2009, 08:25 PM

Needle Palms are the world's most cold hardy palm Native to Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and a very useful "survival" plant.

Today I planted 7 Almond trees :^) According to my Arbor Day Foundation sticker it's Arbor day today in La. & Florida I do believe?

Well today I planted my last 2 Almonds that happened to show late.. a lil shorter than the other 7 but very nice looking healthy trees :^)

sbl · 01-30-2010, 04:48 PM

I planted tomatoes and eggplants--tomatoes include Arkansas Travler, Black Plum, Better Boy, and Belgium giant--eggplants were a mix of white, purple and green varieties. A little too early for peppers.

Richard · 02-07-2010, 05:56 PM

Tony, when you harvest those I'm curious if the fruit of that variety has red flesh all the way through.

sunfish · 02-07-2010, 06:03 PM

I'll let you know.

cherokee_greg · 02-07-2010, 11:33 PM

I got my first Bromelaid today there so cool

Richard · 02-07-2010, 11:49 PM

Well, it is a Guzmania which are in the Bromeliaceae family. Here's a bit more info: Guzmania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and a plethora of info: BSI - Bromeliad Info - Genera Etymology

bananarama2 · 02-08-2010, 06:15 PM

Love the Bromeliads, and would love to have an entire conservatory devoted to them and similar rainforest plants one day. Lottery? Otherwise, replanted a kaffir lily yesterday as well as a couple "rescue" African violets and a kalanchoe that needed a home.

soundofthemusic1 · 02-08-2010, 07:21 PM

I adore your Bromelaid. It looks so healty.

Richard · 02-08-2010, 08:04 PM

Oooo! The older members can help me remember ... someone here does have a huge collection of Bromeliads.
