Marshmud: no Marshmud there has never been anything growing in that spot ever and about 6 feet or more away is a meyer lemon thata is laden with fruit :(
Marshmud: I have liberally spreead citrus fertiliser all around the darn tree about a week ago and cannot see an ounce of difference....the fruit is still dropping off :(
If you buy a whole celery and cut the base off it, put it into a bowl of shallow water and leave it for about a week. ...it will grow....there will be a couple of new stems sprouting from the middle and there will be roots growing from the bottom....can be planted in the garden and kept moist until it really gets away :)
It has been 8 weeks since we had a cyclone rip through our garden. I am absolutely astounded how much the garden has grown since then...Of course I had to cut everything back as it has been ripped around and was looking so straggly...now everything is looking so healthy and attractive. The garden is looking fabulous.
rod03801: yes I planted from a young tree, but the lemon came on straight away with hundreds of fruit, and the orange has just sat there.................thanks anyway.
I have a navel orange tree in my yard for the last 2 1/2 years....it has only grown slightly but has no signs of bearing any fruit....it is next to a meyer lemon that has more fruit on it than you could imagine. any suggestions as to why this has happened?
Well summer hasn't even started and already we are experiencing excessive heat. Expected today 36degC = approx 100degF. Looks as tho we are in for a bad one :(
12-14 months ago I planted in my garden 3-4 pineapple tops....Lo and behold I have a pineapple growing...it is about the size of my thumb nail at the moment but what a find. That can go with the passionfruit, pawpaws, bananas,grapes etc....My own homegrown fruit salad LOL
Foxy Lady: I have taken one pic and put it up in my photo album on here....I will date each pic so you can see the growth. we are nearly getting 40's as well C's that is....actually about 34degC and we had no winter at all....
I have just noticed that GEOCITIES is closing down this coming October 26th...does anybody know of any other FREE web hosting sites?....so I can post the pics as promised LOL
Snoopy: actually Snoopy.....roses like a good beat up every now and again....but dont know if they would survive in the snow being treated like that LOL
it is brilliant sunshine here at the moment and it looks as tho the rain has gone.....the humidity is over 80% and Im having to use my puffer to help me breathe :(
