My other blog over at Not Really Homeschooling was getting so garden-centric that I have finally decided I should have a separate place for that sort of thing. This is it. Welcome!
If you have a blog about gardening, leave me a comment so I can follow you.
If you know anything about container gardening on a balcony or indoors, leave me a comment and a link.
If you know anything at all about good companion plants for pineapples, please please leave me a comment - I am currently growing a pineapple top and want to plant something with it to provide extra nitrogen in the soil and look pretty in the house. Google searches have not yielded anything helpful so far.
Other items festooning our fireplace surround include a newly-emerged mango sapling (hooray!), some strawberry suckers waiting to be dealt with, three baby kumquat saplings, a possible pear sapling (could be another kumquat), five avocado pits in various stages of germination, and a glass of water with some ground ivy and speedwell in it. I have no idea whether speedwell cuttings will root in water, or at all. Ground ivy should root almost anywhere, it's just waiting to be given some earth to sit in.
There will be photos when my husband gets home with the camera on Friday.

hi m, my nasturtiums have little flies laying eggs on them. any ideas? apart from the flies, one plant is doing fabulously, the other pretty well and the third very poorly. how are yours doing? pxx
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Green flies? I think the season just started for aphids, we have some on our strawbs. I dealt with it in part by picking off the infected leaf and throwing it off the balcony (to the grass below) but the ants have redistributed the eggs onto various other leaves too. :-( I don't know any way of preventing it - maybe look up companion crops for nasturtium?
ReplyDeleteI'm a gardener, but don't post exclusively about my garden. I do have to say, though, that I think my Leopard's Bane is a goner. Little green bugs are crawly up and down its stems! Stopping by from SITS to Share the Comment Love...
ReplyDeleteMy SIL's got a green thumb. In fact, I've got "mystery flowers" posted on my blog today. Perhaps you could identify them? SITS sent me over...have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are certainly expanding your blogging range (is that even the rt word?) Well, as you know i'm no green finger so i will just follow along & admire & hopefully be inspired to do something soon ... ;)
