What did you plant today (other plants)? - Page 43

Richard · 02-08-2010, 08:26 PM

Yes, but there is a member here in Florida(?) who has posted pictures of their greenhouse chock full of bromeliads.

In response to Taylor's comments: I believe you are confusing the term "stole" with long term borrowing arrangement, where-in they can have it back, should it not work out, and plant rescue, where-in one is compelled, and indeed required to save a plant from future eradication and/or neglect.Only conditional on leaving more than you took, IMHO!

cherokee_greg · 02-10-2010, 12:44 PM

I got two new plants yesterday

Canna warscewiczii
It has purple streaked, shining foliage, blackish stems & cherry red tubular blooms. This (non-hybrid) species from Costa Rica & Brazil flowers from Spring to frost & maintains a neat look as the flowers fall naturally from the spikes. Grow in rich soil & does well in a container. To 6’ tall and 3’ across. Attracts hummers.

Gladiolus alatus
This is a South African bulb . The 6-8” flower spikes hold large orange and green marked flowers. Very similar to Gladiolus equitans but has more slender foliage. The flowers are fragrant. Spring blooming. Grows in sandy soil so would probably be best grown in a pot with some extra sand added to the soil. Should be allowed to go dry in summer during dormant period..
Here is the Gladiolus alatus

Abnshrek · 02-12-2010, 11:40 AM

I planted a snowman in my yard today.. does that count? lol

alpha010 · 02-25-2010, 08:58 PM

Well, yesterday I potted a store bought mango seed that started to germ, and today I pulled an immature offset off of my experimental lily mat and brought it indoors and potted it since it started to grow in the garage........the sickness is driving me crazy! Cant wait for spring!

The Hollyberry Lady · 02-25-2010, 10:12 PM

Sowed some more 'black velvet rose' geranium seeds today, and yesterday a key lime seed popped for me.

: )

Patty in Wisc · 02-26-2010, 12:12 AM

That's what I want to plant... key lime seeds! They are s'posed to fruit in the 3rd year & grow true to seed.

Abnshrek · 02-27-2010, 07:01 PM

A bunch of TN86 Tobacoo, and about 14 Olives :^)

cherokee_greg · 03-01-2010, 10:17 AM

Yesterday I planted some Georgia collards and some walawala sweet onions. If you never tasted the walawala onions your missing somthing there so sweet ! I love collards too momma fixes them so good.

Abnshrek · 03-03-2010, 08:10 PM

Well today I planted some Rhubard, Black Magic, and some asparigus :^)

tasanas · 03-04-2010, 12:08 AM

I plant gerberras, zinnias, and forget- me- not. Or, in fact I bought them while they are blooming. They add more color to my garden.

ArtNut · 03-04-2010, 01:08 AM

Today I planted cherry tomato plants. Wanted to get them in before we got any more rain. Hope that gives them a boost.
Layed down plastic in the bed to try to cut back on the weeds. Hope it will also hold in the moisture as the weather gets warmer. Pretty green table covering from last years St. Patty's Day party.
Shoot! I need to block the drip from the overhang of the house. Looked right at it today and meant to do that. Better get them covered before they get dripped on.
Going all cherry this year. They are easier to share.

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-04-2010, 01:23 AM

sowed some passiflora, & himalayan blue poppy seeds today.

Here's some of my recent sproutings also:

Kumquat seedling...

Pampas white and pink ornamental grass...

Key Lime...

'Black Velvet Rose' F1 Hybrid Geranium...

: )

My son planted two kinds of tomato last December and now they yields lots of fruits. We share them with insects since we use no pesticide. Thanks to the weather we only watered and put cow dung to the plants.

Jack Daw · 03-05-2010, 04:57 AM

I don't use pesticides either, but it's really easy to make a sticky sheet of paper scented with some orange flavor (I can't remember the proper E food additive) and they will never wanna go to eat your pomes. All they will have to solve is how to get off the paper.

Cherries are good, but nothing like the real big deal! Trusts me. I have many colors, shapes, sizes... but nothing's like the real deal. Not even the monster gigants.

sandy0225 · 03-11-2010, 07:49 PM

well. over the course of this week, so far, me and my crew (mom, dad, and youngest daughter after school) have filled a 26x36 greenhouse and did 300 hanging baskets. Tomorrow we start on the 26x60 end of the greenhouse!

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-11-2010, 09:03 PM

Today I sowed some Lycium Barbarum (Goji berry) seeds. A couple days ago I planted some sprouted Japanese Red Maple seeds, after a 6 month cold stratification period in my fridge. Today they began to emerge! Yippeeeeee!

: )

sbl · 03-11-2010, 09:17 PM

I started a bunch of peppers today--on a wet paper towel on a saucer covered with plastic wrap--when they sprout, I will transfer them to potting soil-- it seems like I get better germination this way. I have jalapenos, giant marconi, red habanero, carribean red habanero, thia pepper, bolivian rainbow.

Last week, I planted african daisies, moss rose, and marigolds--they have all sprouted.

Tomato plants have been moved to individual pots--Arkansas Travler, Belgian Giant, Black Plum, Better Boy.
