Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
The tires thing works well for tomatoes here. It insulates the roots better than mulch - I've had frost-damaged ones come back out of tires and produce. We used the big tractor tires when we could get them, but smaller ones work fine too. /lateresponse
Finally planted the bell pepper and creeping thyme for the balcony garden! Also Corsican mint and chamomile, which is getting ready to bloom four days after transplant. :3 |

jazz, please define "hot". "Hot" and "UK" are not two words I recall seeing together before! LOL

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
I can honestly say I don't know who Kate Moss is, Bob! We don't watch TV in our house because things are hectic enough as it is and I get all the drama I need right here at the org! Besides, my wife is beautiful in many ways and I really try to look the other way and drag my tongue in before I get to the point of thinking of another woman as "hot"

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Jazz, your use of the word reminds me of how terms can mean different things in different areas. About 70 miles to the west of me is wacky San Francisco (IMO) where they scream about the heat wave if it gets to 75F! And then, in my area, we call this stuff that messes up your hair a "Delta breeze" even though this so-called breeze is often blowing 15mph or more.
Okay, back on topic....an hour ago I did my first ever division of a heliconia, the variegated "Tiger" heliconia (sorry, I can't remember those fancy genus and species names). I bought this plant a year or so ago and it was busting out of its 5 gallon pot. I'm took off two cuttings with well-rooted shoots just like my expert friend from Puerto Rico told me to and am going to be cautious on the watering until they're growing as he tells me I can rot them real easy. One will go to a friend and the other will be a back-up because I want to try growing one of these outside near my home's heating unit. Wish me luck! Harvey |

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Bob, my wife is at work some I'm safe, but she probably things of me as sort of a dog. If I chased a car and caught it, I wouldn't know what to do with it! LOL

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Howard, I did NOT give you permission to show my photograph!
Yesterday I planted about 30 baby marigolds around the veggie garden. I'll see if it keeps bunnies out. At Mike's house I made a 3' X 30' (or more) "tropical Island" w/ 4 nanas, 7 brugmansias, tiny EE's, scattered reg & red caster beans, colorful swiss chard, & some cosmos along sides. When 4 caladiums sprout in pots, they will go there too. Should look nice if & when we ever get summer. I never heard of Kate Moss. Maybe I should plant some of that too?

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Planted a Madagascar Palm and a Cycad (cycas revoluta) - the Sago Plam. Managed to cut the heck out of my hands with the Madagascar palm - those things are wicked.
