Scroggy's 2012 garden

[lahadaextranjera]

Hola !!! Que tal? Tengo poco problemas en mi jardin !!

I took some pics yesterday and I could use some help deciding what to do with :-

a) a lemon tree - fed general fert (8.8. in small doses with nice high alkaline Spanish tap (old) water, prob needs fresh soil and bigger pot, have new growth tho.

b) a cut back orange tree that now looks like a mother plant !!! Shall I make clones - it's looks finished!

c) 'ello Vera - Are those age spots dear or would u like a bigger pot ? Had her for 2 yrs since she was 1 ft tall, re-potted a few times. Think it needs a good transplant but what are those brown spots? I know that Aloes don't need water often as they are succulent but it has rained a bit recently.

d) nothing wrong with my passion flower - that's an e-gift for helping !!!

Have a good day !!

ps sorry to write all over ur thread !!

i don't know about citrus, but i think the orange will bounce back. the aloe does look big for that pot

 

[polyarcturus]

that aloe is way to big for the pot, you havent been cutting the pups off have you?(the shoots)

 

[lahadaextranjera]

I did cut the Aloe at the other place but not this one. I'm sure it needs a bigger pot. Very big and heavy to transplant (prob weighs more than me)

Got some nice MJ outside too !!! Need to transplant those too but unsure of which pots to use. I know u like pots to be kept simple. Can I use the plastic one in the pic? I could go to the Weed shop and buy larger white ones instead??? I'm nearly 50 metres up on the roof so it gets really hot up here.

The MJ is from Cannabiogen, Caribe they're called. A cross of NL Haze and some Jamaican Blue Mountain thing. I haven't topped it, it's done that on it's own!!

ps I'll start my own Outdoor thread (after this- promise)!!!!

nice plants, bonita

Thanks but is it ok to use those large terracotta coloured plastic pots or should I try to buy large white ones?

I want to transplant into larger pots.

 

[scroglodyte]

sure......its okay.

poor showing by the poppies; perhaps i'll try a second crop............

 

[scroglodyte]

the hops are flowering, trash-picked a couple of 5gal nursery pots, and had some potting mix left over, so i started a couple of melons. notice the spider mite webs on marigold. i can't escape them.

bee balm explosion, the poppies.....hope to get some good seed and squeeze in another crop, Orange Kush LST/top, Jack h cross re-vegging mom, bucket of salad greens, my poppy field

^^^ Bee Balms are cool! It will grow here in north central texas! (that's the DFW area) I've never had one.....It requires extra water during our hot season but it does fine by a sprinkler head. Daily temps here are at 100 degrees F from now until the end of august. ..... Bee Balms are good for attracting butterflies & hummingbirds, and other polinators!

Nice poppy! (pic #2) It looks like a pic from a book or something! I haven't seen many poppies up close! And never in person-just pics!

 

[scroglodyte]

bee balm attract hummingbirds here in the East, also. its funny seeing them in an urban setting. looking forward to opium tea

 

[lahadaextranjera]

I love a cuppa !!

 

[scroglodyte]

i would take advantage of you while you were high..............and so would the wife

 

[lahadaextranjera]

And would I complain?

 

[lahadaextranjera]

I'm a weak character !! Easily led.. Prob wouldn't even have to get me high !!

 

[scroglodyte]

lol.......perhaps not. who doesn't want to be a special now and then?

 

[lahadaextranjera]

Now and then ??? It's a regular occurrence. I live in the City of Nakedness remember ??

 

[scroglodyte]

my wife would like it there. she's into naked. we need to be someplace warm, i think. but not humid. the city in the summer is rough. we have land in the mountains, but its almost 4 hours by car. nice and cool up there at night.
