For those who were affected by the latest heat wave....
Comments (19)I'm in Texas too and summer is just gearing up, with temps in the mid to upper nineties during the day and barely getting below 80 at nighttime. I have one hybrid tea that's a year old (I think it is Chicago Peace) and two baby Austins, Evelyn and Abrahan Darby. Evelyn is in the ground and Abe is in a pot, waiting for me to get his bed ready. The HT is suffering badly in the heat. I have to water it at least twice a week and make sure the mulch is piled thick around its base. Its last blooms are bedraggled, crisp, and totally bleached. Evelyn, on the other hand, had been sitting in her new spot for about 2 months doing nothing visible. But once the temps starting hitting 90, she exploded in new growth and has even put out three buds in the last couple weeks. She doesn't get as much sun as I expected her to - I planted her near a tall crape myrtle and forgot how leafy they get - so perhaps she welcomes the break from the scorching temperatures. Abraham isn't doing much, and that's ok - he's still getting used to his new pot. But since he's so similar to Evelyn, I expect that he'll do just fine this summer....See MoreGiant Chain fern enthusiasts (pic)
Comments (16)After leaving the low-lying areas, I walked along this canal - a scenic mist had risen in the meantime: Water seeps from the top of the hill down to the canal, and then seeps again from the canal down to the river. This whole area faces west - strong afternoon exposure, plenty of water. Multiple fimbriatas grow above the canal, along with equisetum hyemale (my favorite rush) - A closer view of the fern growing above the canal: And, finally, an image of the down-slope. There are a few small fimbriatas growing down there, but it's mostly bracken fern and gigantic equisetum hyemale (isolated rushes with large diameter) - Anyhow, I hope these are helpful! Or at least enjoyable! The rain continues to fall, Josh...See Moreexisting owners of elux washer/dryer iq touch and wave touch...
Comments (97)Jmith, Everyone loads varies from type of fabrics to water temperatures. My loads is all over the place where I can wash my king size flat/fitted and 4 king pillow case with a king size fleece cover in one load to two bathroom mats in one load. Weighing fabrics does nothing but causes extra unnecessary step in doing laundry. Once you do several large or extra large load, the machine will let you how much you can fill the machine without over loading. If anybody over load this machine will notice how long it take for the load to balance for the spin cycle! I'm a older WT Lux user.........See MoreHelp - ostrich ferns indoors
Comments (5)Most ferns LOVE water. They want damp soils all the time. Ostrich ferns are one of a few that will actually grow in full sun as long as kept wet. They tend to prefer more sun than any other fern, so ensure they are getting constant indirect sun light. They will come back if you baby them. I’ve done the same before with them. Start by filling up your sink or tub with water so it will hit about half way up the pot. Then put pots in and soak until they are very wet all the way to the top (a few hours), then let all the excess water drain from them until they are only dripping a little at the bottom. Then put them back on your tray in their sunny spot and fill the bottom of the tray with ½ - 1 inch of water. then let them go and just ensure your tray is always kept filled with the water so the ferns can pull it through the holes in the bottom of the pot. That should work. Give them some time to send up a new frond, it won’t happen immediately since you had to cut it all back. Ostrich ferns are actually quite hard to kill, and can get a bit out of control in a garden, so pots is a good idea for them. Just remember they are a deciduous fern, so they have to go outside in the fall and winter. They won’t do well without a cold season....See Moredbarron
