Vikings:Hosta is so hardy you can hardly kill them....they can be split up at almost any time as long as they don't get tpp dry after transplanting. Water them well and they should be fine
skipinnz: I've talked to enough people now that the plan is to split them up in another month, that way the 90 degree heat would have broke and there would be enough time for the roots to establish before hard frost
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.
Bernice: It's a pretty little thing.. although, it looks similar to one we found up at the Ranch a few years back when we were painting the house.. I was doing the bottom section and the back side of the house where the basement windows were.. I jumped back the dang thing was huge for a spider around here.. Dan just laughed at me and said it wasn't anything to worry about.. then he came down to it and grabbed a piece of wood letting it get on the wood he moved it to another location so I could finish painting the one section.
Bernice: I googled “yellow striped spider” and the first link it brought up was the USA Spider Identification Chart. And there it was easy to identify your little friend.
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.
Bernice: I have read before that it can take up to 5 years for a planted young tree to bear fruit. (I assume this is what you did) If you planted it from seedling, it can take 7 or 8 years.
I should add, I'm no expert. LOL. This is just what I had read somewhere, in the past.
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?
Foxy Lady: Dan is wondering how many you have? and do you have both the Male and Female plants.. One of the species really doesn't do much but act as a polenator. I remember our neighbors had a plum tree.. we would get a good crop of plums every other year.. since there was only one plum tree around.
Was wandering if anybody knows what to do with sunflowers after summer,do they grow again next year? I have a couple 14 footers in the front yard to deal with Ty for any help.
It's supposedly spring time here but we're getting snow, it's unheard of this late in the year. Had 1 meter dumped on the road between Taupo & Napier. Temperature today was 8 derees C. Going to get down to 3 to-night
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....
Bernice: I just checked.. they are still around. And they are free. I used them a long time ago. Pretty much the same as geocities, as i recall. They have templates you can use, so you don't even need to be an HTML expert.
