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 :(

ScarletRose: thanks Cathy :)........Im really baffled :)

can anyone help.


I have a Navel orange tree..it would be about 5 years old...It has never had any fruit only a few flowers than never amounted to anything.

This year it is absolutely smothered in flowers and fruit are setting BUT after about a week or so they all fall off :(...any advice please?

Google

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 :)

Vikings: well they are a member of the agave family, and they will grow from a leaf.....so I guess the same applies. Try a leaf and see if it roots

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.

Pedro Martínez: thank you Hun...that means I don't have to be so damned scared LOL

Pedro Martínez: I found that this afternoon in my passionfruit vines.....I cant see if it is poisonous tho...

Pedro Martínez: well I will be blowed....how did you find that so fast....that is exactly what it is....thank you so much....

what the name of this spider is??

Foxy Lady: it is 34C here hot and humid.

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?

check out my new "baby" on my pics :)

sorry it isnt a gardening pic but it is outside ROFL........

I have just bought myself an "upside down strawberry planter"
has anybody had anything to do with one of these?

I have to buy the seedlings and plant them, but it looks alright :)

skipinnz: saw that on the news.....real strange for this time of year.

ScarletRose: we didnt get a winter this year :( and that in itself was a forewarning of what was to come.

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 :(

The spa is looking even more inviting ROFL

Übergeek 바둑이: thank you so much, will check into it :)

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....

rod03801: yes I have already signed up.....

rod03801: Ta! too much :)

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

I have just planted upside down tomatoes that I bought...Will take pics as and if they progress...

Dolittle: oh boy....they are lovely and I must admit I dont think we have them over here.....tjhanks for that link :)

Pedro Martínez: OK...thanks....never heard of plantain lily's, we have plantains which are HUGE cooking bananas.

ta very mucho :)

can someone enlighten me as to what a Hosta garden is....I did google it but ...... would it be like what we call a rock garden?

Foxy Lady: that would be real good :)

Foxy Lady: where are the pics?

TigerCat:you are welcome....get the black spot spray. It is very hard to get rid of once you've got it. Ask at your nursery :)

TigerCat: DAMN.....great long post I did and then BK hiccuped ROFL

You must NOT water roses leaves....only at the base....that causes black spot if you water the leaves.

You must take ALL black leaves off and PUT THEM IN A PLASTIC BAG and disposes of them....do NOT leave them laying on the ground or it will spread.

Use a black spot spray AFTER you have gotten rid of the black spot leaves

Hope this helps

ScarletRose: hahahaha.....that is cheaper than the electric sort LOL....you get that for nothing ROFL

36degC here and humidity 85-90%

just another boring day in paradise ROFL

too hot for me....thank god for ice-air LOL

Dolittle: it is surprising what you can shock some plants/flowers into 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 :(

looks as tho our wet season has started early....we habe just had 2 1/2 inches of rain in the last 2 hours and it isnt finished yet.......LOL

that will teach us to moan it is too hot/dry ROFL

Foxy Lady: you will have to cuddle up to your husband but be careful....funny thing happen in the chilly weather LOL

about 96degF here today and high humidity

ajtgirlzuchinni were shocking...grapes, bananas, paw paw, lemons, herbs, tomatoes, and every thing else were just great....still eating and picking new guinea paw paw and lemons.

Cherry toms are going to be a fabulous crop...grosse lisse toms werent as good as could have been but very tasty.

Flowers all flowered LOL

Dolittle: thanks but I have found out what it is.....a Brazilian Walking Iris........

it was at my local nursery today :)

Never seen one before.

I took that pic yesterday as it had just come out and this morning it was dead

obviously it only has a day life :(

this flower is in my garden and I dont know what it is....it is growing in a pot that I bought from the markets a couple months ago

ScarletRose: where, where.....whats the addy LOL

ScarletRose: 3 days solid rain we have had and more on the way....this is NOT our winter
