Has Spring arrived?
Comments (14)Spring is getting closer and closer. Will be 74 tomorrow! It does not mean we are out of the woods yet, though "green stuff" is getting bigger and richer. Every day there is something new poking thru the soil, and I feel like a kid discovering a new treat. Daffs are gorgeous, hyacinths, crocuses, freshness, birds, - I love it all! Possibility and promise of spring is in everything. Of course there is also a possibility of hard frost till April 15th (like last year). Being an optimist as I am, I choose to enjoy this moment....See Morespring has arrived!
Comments (19)This isn't California. Pampass Grass is also a weed in some parts of that state and so are Eucs. I grow both of those and they work just fine here. Gorse does grow here and there on our island especially along some of the road sides. I don't see it taking over our island, because it has been here for years and years. It is the Scotch Broom that is more of a worry. Everytime I see a new clear cut open up that stuff takes over in no time if nothing is done to prevent it. The seeds on broom probably stay viable just as long as Ulex. I have also seen Gorse along some of the hillside near Florence, Oregon. I rather like the plant myself, it definately makes a great barrier to keep hooligans out of the garden. I am open to growing all species of plants if our climate will allow it. I know there are alot of gardeners that only believe in growing native. Well to me that is so narrow minded. These same gardeners have no problem growing Geraniums ,Lilacs or apple trees. Most of those same people aren't native themselves, they also came from somewhere else. Cheers, Joe...See Morespring exchange has arrived!
Comments (150)Livnlife I admire you for tackling such a small ball and I love it with the iridescent glass background. Eklypz, I can't believe this is your first Van Gogh glass!!! Diamondjennie, your ball looks so dainty and elegant. Flagtruck, using cup handles to make a built in stand for that gorgeous ball, was absolutely brilliant!!! Ahem...I can't believe that the person who ran this exchange and told everyone to make sure they took a picture of their ball before they sent it, failed to do that with their own ball and is going to make us all wait anxiuosly for Momof3 to find her camera! LOL Hey momof3...did you find that camera yet? Barb...See MoreSpring has finally arrived in the Midwest! Dino Update
Comments (54)Rob I do not use gritty mix for my Adeniums. I use what I call a chunky mix. It's made of half coir pieces and chips, half Growstone GS2 and large perlite sifted. I'm attaching some recent photos so you can see the size of the pieces. Indoors I use jumbo garden trays under my fabric pots. I buy mine at Greenhouse Megastore online.
