![]() Here is a blog post my tree peonies coming up for their 2nd year. They should definitely become larger than the ones from the previous picture from May 17th after a few months.
It is nothing that impressive now, but wait another 2 months, and I expect some of them to be over 6 inches tall. Steve's garden: Some tree peonies waking up very early in 2013

![]() Because a couple of previous oleander cuttings did not make it through our 2 months absence in winter, I scoured my previously trimmed clean oleander shrubs for four more shoots to propagate. Three of them rooted quickly like the one shown on the top. The fourth one, of which I had carelessly peeled off a strip of bark, when removing excess leaves, just sat there. Because it still looked healthy enough, I could not bring myself to toss it out. A couple of days before this picture was taken I was amazed to see tiny little roots emerging all along the injury. There is a lesson to be learned for future propagation attempts: When I shear off the tops of my two oleanders next fall, I will try three different approaches: 1. I will do as I did with the top one 2. I will remove a short strip of bark from the bottom of the cutting, to create a larger area for roots to emerge, without the necessity of healing an injury as large as the lower one shown in the photo. 3. I will split the bottom end lengthwise, hoping, that that will increase the areas for root generation as well as increase the water intake. Comparing the results should proof interesting.

![]() Cashew - this is one of two cashews that are starting to sprout - I originally got 5 seeds so I am still hopefull for the other 3 but as I was not sure on the conditions they required, I planted them in different areas/conditions. FYI, the 2 little blurry green "things" in the pot behind are Kangaroo Paws Hardy Passion Vine, zone 8 |

![]() Had some Papaya seeds sprouting up randomly in my greenhouse, but pulled them after remembering that they're from a GMO Papaya I ate. Huge bummer, as though I was excited to see how easy it was to get Papaya seeds to germinate and grow - I don't want to grow GMO plants.

![]() You'll find their foliage, once old enough, is very pretty and quite different from other cukes, even oddities like Kiwanos. All the best to your growing, they're a big excitement for me too. Started this year as my first year, beforehand I just dreamed of growing them but the seeds were always sold out quickly.
