Teema: Re: Foxy.. Take the fallen leaves from the fall

Bernice just a thought put some garlic powder around the plants,than water the roots will soak up the garlic.We put sugar around the plants for a sweeter tomatoe.

Do they grow indoors only in Northern Climate or can you plant them outdoors?

15. august 2004, 22:49:58

scoobydoo2

Teema: Not on this board, no...

Foxy Lady, I agree with you and did not mean to start anything. I posted this on every board just to let all members know how I feel. I just wanted everyone to know how I felt about the situation on some of them. Most of the discussion boards have nice people and no abuse there. I did not mean to start anything. I hope everyone will forgive me. I should have kept my mouth shut.

Teema: Roses

Well one was a total mess all chewed up the others are doing great.Too late for Roses unless you get the hardy ones that bloom during the winter.Those little green worms are finally gone.Were getting down in the 50's at night very short Summer here.We have a very short growing period.Almost time to plant the garlic here.Usually in Oct but were doing it in a couple of weeks.We've had SNOW in Oct before so it's better to get it in early.

27. august 2004, 08:05:11

Teema: fall

my only advice is to NOT rake your leaves till ALL the leaves fall out of the neighbors trees ;)

27. august 2004, 08:05:23

Teema: Re:

never heard of gordons daisys LOLOL...I understood you were on holiday?

27. august 2004, 08:09:43

LOL couldnt sleep:)
Gordons produce a 2 1/2 to 4 inch flower,and will bloom all year if you keep them fertilzed.Time release granules work well :)

I hadn't realised this discussion board existed before today ~ looks interesting.
Re: Orange flowers ~ Mimulus are lovely to look at, and great in hanging baskets, they last quite well and the range of colors, especially in the mixed varieteis, look really pretty.

Almost time to think about planting garlic in my zone.

8. september 2004, 08:47:57

Nev Nake toimetatud (8. september 2004, 08:48:50)

you have to be careful with garlic i believe....you cant plant it in the same place 2 years running :(...

they also say to plant it near tomatoes to keep aphids and/or other bugs away??? true or false i do not know :)

8. september 2004, 15:01:06

never heard of garlic....but marigolds seemto help ;-)

Teema: fall--- transplanting trees

I live in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) and our summer is fading fast. Temps now mild (50-65) with rain every few
days. I have some 2 yr old Aspen trees I would like to transplant. Does anyone know if now is a good time to move them or should I wait until the leaves fall?

Teema: bamboo

We also have a large 4'-5' clump of Black Bamboo that needs to be moved. I am hoping I can move it without killing it---anyone have any experience transplanting Bamboo?

Thanks

Teema: Re: fall--- transplanting trees

Definetly better to wait until leaves have fallen, you can also loosen dirt on 2 sides and then a few days later move the tree, less stress this way.

9. september 2004, 05:47:39

Teema: Re: Garlic

Garlic can be very hardy, this year i'm doing mine in containers.It really does help the garden since you don't harvest it till fall.Marigolds are great around the garden.
