What'cha got sprouting? (other plants) - Page 29

Jananas Bananas · 05-12-2011, 06:45 PM

I have Goji sprouting! I am really excited about this one!!!!

And this is a new lemon sprouting! (it's the thick one to the upper left of the pot - the little ones are Kiwi) It should be standing up in the next couple of days!

So glad you've got the Goji Berry seeds sprouting, JaNan!

Sorry I didn't have too many seeds to share of those, but I knew the few I did send were extremely viable and that you'd get at least one shrub. I've since ordered some new seeds that I'm waiting on.

Some stuff you should know about Goji Berry shrubs...

Grown from seed, they'll take around 3 years to produce fruits but not until the 4th or 5th year will they produce their largest yields. A full sun site is best for lots of berries. They are perennial.

Also...

These shrubs are extremely appealing to insects because the leaves are very succulent, sweet and tender. Be certain to keep them showered regularily indoors, to ward off pests. In the garden, you can make a circle of some spices around the base of the shrubs...using chili peppers, cloves, garlic and crushed bayleaf, and this will keep the crawling bugs off outdoors, until the shrubs mature.

These bushes also benefit from consistent showers with the hose too and regular pruning is a must when they're young, so the bushes will be dense and full. Snip, snip, snip!

So great you have one sprouting, JaNan. How exciting! Did you know that Goji berries are the most nutrient-dense food on the planet?!

They taste like raisins when they're dried.

Good luck!

Sorry, Sherry, I missed your post at first. When these things start growing, you may wonder, where the purple
colouring is. I did, because mine came up all green, until they almost reached 2 feet in height. Their mother was
purple, when I got it at a much smaller size, and had me wondering if they bred true. It were only the last leaves
opening, before I planted them out yesterday, which showed purple.

Another thing, you may remember the elaborate fix I went through to get the max soil volume in minimum space.
I could have saved myself that trouble, since very few roots made it out through the bottom of the bottomless
4" cups and they used the soil within so poorly, that it fell mostly off, when I stripped the pots off. That in turn
gave them poor stability, when planted outside

(For details on that you would have to go all the way back to
my post of March 30 in this thread.)
Maybe the soil was too rich and discouraged strong root development?

Very Very Nice

No worries Olaf...I grew one before also that didn't get really purple until later on.

I use a light, sterile, and well-draining soil-less mix to get all my seedlings started in, so they develop easily and well. Any number of factors can hinder seedling growth, when it comes to just using any old dirt you've got...from damping-off bacteria, to insect infestation. Not worth the risk to me, so I always use clean soil to get my plants off to a good strong start.

I likely will be giving that seedling in the picture to one of my girlfriends, to grow on in her garden. I will be too busy packing to be gardening this season outdoors. I have kept a couple extra in my fridge though for next year.

Oh and I've got some "White Habanero" seeds coming up now but they're too small to show just yet.

: )

Blackberry lily and Orinoco pup

orinoko · 05-22-2011, 09:07 AM

Yup, I agree what a great setup,

Tony, are they staggered so your not overcome with transplanting tons and tons of seedlings?

Well done on the setup!!

orinoko · 05-22-2011, 09:23 AM

A holiday red flowering creeping plant,

I have it on the window sill due to our horrid windy cold weather.

I will soon sort out the gallery, apparently thats the way Bananas.org likes Images uploaded.

Image later.

Here's a couple of shots of my Starfruit seedlings, just so you guys know I haven't killed them yet!

We were across town the other day and this beautiful tree caught my eye. Hubby was with me and I said oh I can see seed pods on it. I pulled over and he got out and plucked three seed pods for me and grabbed a flower and a leaf. After several hours of searching the internet I finally identified it as Parkinsonia aculeata. Here are some pictures of those:

I really wanted this tree badly, I just fell in love with the look of it. So I started one of the seeds in one of my AeroGardens. Lucky for me it is sprouting!!!

Out of the three seeds he grabbed one had been stepped on and was ruined, but two looked viable. The leaves are so tiny they looked like a pine leaf, but you can see from the above picture the fronds have tiny little leaves on them. Here is a Google search with more pictures if you want to look at it.

Parkinsonia aculeata - Google Search

I also have a small Dutchman's Pipe, Colorado Blue Spruce, and Dragon Fruit popping:

Jananas Bananas · 07-03-2011, 02:24 PM

One of the Star Fruit seedlings that I transplanted. Doesn't this look like a "big" tree? I think these would do really well as a Bonsai!

This is a Purple Super Hot Pepper that is finally popping:

And the Colorado Blue Spruce today:

~JaNan

The Hollyberry Lady · 07-03-2011, 08:40 PM

JaNan that Colorado Blue Spruce tree seedling is just adorable!

Here's my 'Hahms Gelbe' dwarf yellow determinate tomato seed from Germany popping in my Aero-Garden...

Also have a Goji Berry seed sprouting too.

: )

orinoko · 07-04-2011, 04:04 PM

Washingtonia seedling

Someone sprouted it, I bought it.

Its sprouted a new leaf since I got it.

The Hollyberry Lady · 07-13-2011, 08:59 AM

A bit blurry but shows my English Daisy (Bellis) perennial sprout in the middle of the pot that just came up this morning...

Might pop it into my aero-garden later...

: )

The Hollyberry Lady · 07-13-2011, 09:58 AM

At least this warm mugginess is good for something...I just noticed one of these are up also!

Centaurea Cyanus Blue Cornflower "Bachelor's Buttons".

: )

soundofthemusic1 · 07-13-2011, 11:21 AM

Congratulations to everyone!

Here is a picture of my strawberry seedlings:

There are four seedlings in the pot, but I can only fit three in this picture. Maybe more will sprout later. They are seeds from store-bought strawberries and germinated in a week. It was a fun experience...

The Hollyberry Lady · 07-13-2011, 12:16 PM

Wow, ever cool, Rae!

I love fun experiments that turn out successfully like that. Good for you! What will you do with all of them?

: )

soundofthemusic1 · 07-13-2011, 04:00 PM

Hi, Sherry,

Congrats, your strawberry plant is growing beautifully and will bear fruit soon.

With the weather being so hot and no rain, that may be the end of my strawberry growing for this year. I did experience growing a nursery-bought strawberry plant last year with no luck getting it to flower or bear fruit. There is always another year for me to grow strawberries.

JaNan,

All your seedlings look great. I love your mango and starfruit seedlings and am keeping an eye on your starfurit plant in particular. It is on my list of things to grow.
