Still raining!
It is still raining and I have had absolutely no ability to plant. The soil needs to be retilled and have the straw tilled in too.
I do not like this at all. I am glad for some of the larger containers for some of my plants. I just might choose to plant some other plants into containers for safe keeping and bigger growth to help out.
I did take care of all my indoor plants. Changing my bamboo over from the gel to water. I need to find a nicer vase for those. I did notice in the parent vase there is a new offshoot from the bottom of the plant .... Happy day!. The growth of the plants are slow but strong and wonderful.
I replanted my Boston fern that I have been trying to nurse back to health for approx 2 years now. I pulled it out of the pot and first found a brown cocoon I disposed of. Then I found a line of separate root growth with tons of frongs on it. I planted it more to the top of the soil to maximize the amount of plant growth in the pot I cannot wait for it to take off. It loves the current location in my house. My mini peace Lilly is growing like crazy. It looks as if another flower stalk is emerging. We will see in a few weeks. I am thinking of moving it to more sun until I find out. That always speeds the growth.
I repotted my lime tree in a bigger pot.. It is the strongest of the three fruit trees so I cannot wait to see that effect.
I am actually planning the move of the full sun plants for when I need to give up the full sun window. I am thinking a nice table with full spectral desk lamp for some of them but for the fruit trees I was thinking of a much larger decorative pot for the three of them to fit into. Then placing them in my part sun window and a full spectral floor lamp to supplement the light. It will be replacing the fake ficus in the living room (thank god!)
now as for the out doors.
I did make an online purchase for plants. I decided to go with mock orange bushes for the front of the porch. This year it will be a temp holding garden for some plants like chives, seedum, walk on me, hen and chicks and so on.
JUST HAD A BRAIN FART! I have sandy clay(ish) soil around the house. Mostly sandy.. I also have a problem with soil erosion around the downspout runoff.. I just had the idea to make alpine gardens around the house. I would use yucca as the taller back plantings against the house. Then I would use bigger rocks to fill in areas of interest.. Maybe some stone planters?
but keeping to the square shape of contemporary.. Maybe some stone art. Anyways.. I would use peastone or mixed gravel to do the ground in planting seedum and hens and chicks and so on along a dry rock bed following the downspout runoff.
oh it will look wonderful!.
with the rocks it will be little weeding! I am loving this so much.. I would rarely have to water the darn thing.
anyways. Back to the online order
I got 4 apple trees to start with. 2 yellow and 2 green.
I wanted nut trees so bad, I settled for experimenting with chestnut. They were cheap enough to try. I got willow hybrid for the drain ditches. Some horse radish which I LOVE
two different types of cherry bushes to help up the cherry production.
and then 80 1 year asparagus plants!! Because I want a decent crop for once.
As for the cherry bushes I am thinking I would like to have them all along the sunny side of the house. I think it is the south side ?Just use those for landscaping. They are real pretty when they flower. And they look cool when fall comes and the leaves are reddish.
around back between the decks I am thinking a tropical hostas look with maybe some creeping jenny.. But fill in with rocks and gravel for low maintenance. Possibly a water feature? I do not know about that the because of the insects. But they have the repellent for that. I am in just too much excitement. Very anxious for all of this.
