<< < 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 > >> 20. juuni 2006, 18:26:52 Teema: Re:  WatfordFC: Rose posted a product called Neem that is safe to use.It's back a few pages.Be careful with that MiracleGro i got carried away once and burnt my plant. 20. juuni 2006, 19:05:22 Teema: Re: Foxy Lady: I did too with miracleGro. I use a similar product now but very diluted every few weeks to the plants that are in pots as they dont get the natural minerals from the soil NEEM. is by far the best all natrual product Ive ever used. kills bugs somehow by cutting off their air, doesnt harm birds or cats. I just neemed my hedge and have totally gotten rid of the red lily beetle by using it. You can buy it at all good nuseries and online 20. juuni 2006, 19:18:18 i have some really wonderful fairly large pieces of driftwood.... does anyone know of some plants that may grow on it?? 21. juuni 2006, 00:54:52 Teema: Re:  Foxy Lady: Miracle Grow doesn't work on bald heads though so it's a bit of false advertising.  21. juuni 2006, 05:19:38 Teema: Re: Rose: I had posted a comment right after you posted about the Neem,that was deleted.I'll post it again .I bought the Neem but never got to use it my hubby is very funny,were now using black and red pepper .So far i gotta say the rabbits are leaveing the garden alone.21. juuni 2006, 05:20:29 Teema: Re: Groucho:  21. juuni 2006, 05:25:25 Teema: Re: Foxy Lady: Yeah, yeah. ;) I knew that. Ok, for a legitimate question: What are some of the best plants that do will in shade and partial shade (is there a difference between partial shade and partial sunlight??) ;) 21. juuni 2006, 05:30:41 Teema: Re:  spicieangel: what were those air plants we were talking about a few weeks ago, Ms. ajtgirl? think those would be apt candidates for Ms. angel's driftwood project... 21. juuni 2006, 05:32:16 Teema: Re: Groucho: I know i'm going to spell this wrong but i find impatience's do well in the shade.All living things need light but some flowers will wilt in sunlight. 21. juuni 2006, 05:32:43 Teema: Re: plaintiger:tilandsia, is the plant and if the climate is tropical then Elk & Staghorn ferns could also be considered. 21. juuni 2006, 05:43:45 Teema: Re: 21. juuni 2006, 05:48:43 Teema: Re: Groucho:You could try tree fern(ponga) but they can get tall. How big an area are we talking about? 21. juuni 2006, 05:53:00 Teema: Re: skipinnz: not sure of the total square footage but it's pretty big. I plan on part of it being used for a play area for the granddaughter. The other part a garden area and here is where I want some flowers/flowering plant and greens. It's very Pacific Northwestern, woodsy. I have tall trees in the yard and love the shade they bring. 21. juuni 2006, 09:12:11 Teema: Re: Groucho: Well a couple of sugestions are Chatham Island forget me nots & Cyclamen. Both are low growing but have nice displays of flowers. They also do well in colder climates with little sunlight. 21. juuni 2006, 16:40:56  I already have ripe tomatoes in my garden. Am so excited...will have beans before long too! 21. juuni 2006, 19:30:29 Teema: Re: Dolittle: sounds lovely! i've been thinking about a veggie garden lately, but really got noplace to put one where i live now. :/ 21. juuni 2006, 21:56:49 Teema: Re: plaintiger:I don't have a veggie garden, just plant in spaces in my flower beds!!:^) 21. juuni 2006, 23:06:04 Teema: Re: plaintiger: You can do some container gardening. 21. juuni 2006, 23:07:55 Teema: Re: Dolittle: Were just getting flowers on our tomato plants our garden is behind due to the weather. 22. juuni 2006, 00:46:20 Teema: Re: Dolittle and Ms. Fox: that'll work!  22. juuni 2006, 05:51:13 Teema: Re: plaintiger: do you know where i would go to get the air plants and what is it you mean something like i had as a kid an air fern??? 22. juuni 2006, 06:24:06 spicieangel: i don't know offhand, sorry - though if Ms. ajtgirl does mail order - or if You're in the New York area - She may be able to help You. if not, and Your local gardening center doesn't sell them, there's always buying online. :) and i imagine they are something like the air plants You had as a kid, though i don't know for sure. 22. juuni 2006, 10:34:01 Teema: Re:  skipinnz: Don't forget about the Hosta's, beautiful green foliage and blooms that attract butterflys and hummingbirds..:} 22. juuni 2006, 11:18:05 Teema: Re: Doris: Ha Ha good point, our's seem to be on the menu everynight and the slugs and snails dine until the sun rises. You can get some nice yellow verigated varities also. 22. juuni 2006, 13:54:30 Teema: Re:  Groucho: Are you looking for annuals or perennials for your shady spot? Any type of fern would be lovely although they do not flower. Spicieangel: are you going to keep them inside or outside? What is the climate etc? Orchids can attach themselves to driftwood but need a little special care 22. juuni 2025, 19:51:03 Teema: Re: ajtgirl: my drift wood is very large and it provides a border for my yucca plants, i live in Virginia near the chesapeake bay its 1 pm and 91 right so thats an idea of our temps im looking for something simple to care for 22. juuni 2006, 19:42:44 Geranium Q Anyone know what would cause leaves on geranium to red? Just started happening this week. I have them planted in two big tin watering cans. 22. juuni 2006, 19:59:02 Teema: Re: Rose: I've never seen that happen but could it be the tin? 22. juuni 2006, 20:15:57 Teema: Re: Foxy Lady: That was my first thought. I will do a google search and see what I can find out. They look so neat in the watering cans, I have them hanging from a cast iron plant hanger in the yard. 22. juuni 2006, 20:31:40 Foxy this is what I found out! --The different varieties of Pelargoniums often have very unique characteristics. The red leaves could be a response to some kind of stress like sudden change in the weather (hot days and cold nights). If the plant is otherwise healthy, there is nothing in particular to be done about it, but enjoy the show. 22. juuni 2006, 20:55:06 Teema: Re: Rose: Wow thats interesting cause i never saw that,it could be our weather. 23. juuni 2006, 02:19:10 Teema: Re: ajtgirl: I'm looking for low maintanence ;) 23. juuni 2006, 03:28:48 Teema: Re: spicieangel: .Do those yuccas survive the winters there? If so you might be able to add a lot of tropicals around them 23. juuni 2006, 03:32:55 Teema: Re: Groucho: Ferns, daylillies, astilbe, hosta 23. juuni 2006, 13:19:59 Teema: Re: ajtgirl: hehe Those are NO maintenance not low maintenance! hehe. I have 4 astilibe's that just go nuts every year and get bigger and bigger. They are sooo pretty! 23. juuni 2006, 16:20:36 Teema: Re: Rose: I'm on board with that!! ;) 23. juuni 2006, 16:30:59 Teema: Re: Groucho: You cant go wrong with astilbe's and hostas. I call hostas, elephant ear plants! And so many varieties with whites and greens thru them. No matter what type of weather you have they grow well, even up north here! 23. juuni 2006, 16:33:49 Teema: Re: Rose: thanks ;) 23. juuni 2006, 18:23:03 Teema: Re: ajtgirl: what winter?? lol no it doesnt get to cold and we hardly ever have any snow being so close to the bay. So my yuccas survive very well. 23. juuni 2006, 20:48:48 this link is short: http://flowerfields.in-carlsbad.com/ it is the Carlsbad Flower Fields Virtual Reality Tour(360 degree panoramic pictures) 25. juuni 2006, 18:09:00 Teema: Re: spicieangel: I wonder if you could plant some orchids on your driftwood, if your winters are so mild. You don't really plant them, more like attach them with some moss and wire or string and the roots grow into the crevases. 2. juuli 2006, 05:39:29 Teema: Have A Safe Weekend If you drink please Don't Drive 2. juuli 2006, 23:03:47 Teema: Re: Have A Safe Weekend Foxy Lady:  3. juuli 2006, 07:54:59 Teema: Re: Have A Safe Weekend plaintiger:  3. juuli 2006, 07:56:01 Teema: Herbs 3. juuli 2006, 09:19:55 why is my Betulia dying  3. juuli 2006, 17:27:21 Teema: Re: WatfordFC: I have searched google to try to find a picture of a betulia but had no luck All I could surmise is that it is a variety of begonia....perhaps similar to a rex begonia. Is it an indoor plant? I know that rex begonias can be tricky as too much or too little water can kill them quickly. Also it is suseptible to spider mite infestation. 3. juuli 2006, 17:33:09 Teema: Re: ajtgirl: It prefers sunlight, and its on my patio at the moment. I have been feeding it miracle gro, but it looks so sick. 3. juuli 2006, 17:36:33 Teema: Re: Herbs Foxy Lady: nice. what's a strawberry jar? << < 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 > >> |
