Thats gunna take a lot of potting mix for all them bags.
My small ghost pepper is still producing, but looks like it needs re-potting. I aint messin with it until all the peppers are ripe and picked. The other one has it’s first pepper after having 200 blooms for several months. I now get to dry and flake the peppers. Then the fun begins.
OK, I went to Lowes looking for perennial flowers that would bloom a lot, like all spring, summer and fall (or close to that) and had blooms now and attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
I was handed over to a lady who, I found, knows everything about every plant that ever grew. I wanted to bring her home with me and turn her loose on what I'm doing.
Told her I didn't know anything about flowers since I couldn't eat them. So, she starts telling me which ones I can eat. Like I said, she knows everything.
I now have a pot of Lantana with pink/yellow blooms on it, a Hummingbird bush with flowers on it, and a Rudbeckia, which is a black eyed Susan except this one is yellow with gold in the center, not black, and has blooms and ones ready to bloom.
She told me when looking for flower plants, don’t look at the top, look at the bottom. She took the Susan one out of its pot and the roots totally surrounded the soil. She said that was a good root system for this plant and to take a knife and start about half way down and split the roots apart all around the plant, then spread them out at the bottom and plant in the soil.
This was done in the hot sun and it was 100, don't know the heat index, maybe 105 because it was horrible. On to Walmart, got 6 large plastic cheap pots by MISCO that have the saucer as part of the pot, just looks like a pot with no saucer, but it is there. I’ll put the three flower plants in these pots and something else in the other three pots, all the pots are green. These were inside, now go outside for potting soil mix – it’s hotter and I’m pouring sweat. Got six bags of the size I can carry. I already have five or six bags that size at home. Tomorrow is planting day in containers for food plants and these flowers.
Went to their grocery department to get a new item, got several of them this time. It’s bread that is already toast. I found this maybe a month ago and got one package to see what it is like. The thing is, this toast had a eat by date, of MONTHS away. Think that date was in November. This already toast must be a chemical wonderland to last that long. That was their regular toast, and all I found today was their “Double Fiber Toasted Bread”. I got several because I don’t eat enough regular bread before it goes bad. I can’t find an eat by date on these packages. I have emailed the company to find out the shelf life of both kinds for sure. You don’t micro this bread, you just eat the toast as is. Oh, the company is BIMBO. Yes, you heard it right, Bimbo.
