Pinging the list.
I have 5 tomato plants in pots, last year I did this and got a BUMPER Crop of Tomato LEAVES but no tomatoes. What do I need to do different this year?
My Fall 2013 garden got postponed to a Spring 2014 garden got postponed to this past weekend and I finally got just a few things planted. Four raised beds are now filled with sunflower, cantaloup, pumpkin and watermelon. And all of that hopefully will lead to an actual Fall 2014 garden. So, since I must be the brownest thumb on the planet, any and all advice for those four plants is appreciated. The grasshoppers are horrible here this year, been thinking I’ll need to build some kind of netted frame to put over my planters to keep everything from being eaten up. I guess the sunflowers will have to fend for themselves.
Family illness has kept me from doing much in the garden. Please say a prayer for my brother.
It is pouring here in S. FL...”Rain Forest” kind of pouring.
We have annual June gloom right now so the gardens here are beautiful. I get to spy on what everyone is planting and what is blooming when I walk my dogs.
I've got a yellow protea that is finally blooming -- after I planted it 10 years ago!! (will post photo, it's somewhere in my album at the moment and I have to hunt for it).
I also planted some California poppies about two months ago and they are taking over my back and side flower beds -- and I keep reading that they don't transplant well.
I also planted lantana - every color I could find because once the searing hot winds start at the end of July, it is one of the few things that will keep blooming, that an bougainvillea.
Thanks for the ping. I have some pictures I will be posting later tonight or tomorrow depending on how things go, but I always look forward to reading the many comments from everyone even if I don’t always comment my self.
