☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) hehe that's my first ever scop but was sold as a spineless pach, took me ages to id it till id read a lot of scopical topic threads here thanks reminds me of air layering in bonsai ... at least i still have room for validus (where the colossal tobacco is) ... phew and the peppers will be out in the GH by the time the rocket speed tomatoes have shaded it out more , thus vacating another windowsill for more diversity enrichment projects Edited June 24, 2014 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogfrog Posted June 30, 2014 1st day back in the garden for quite some time. Weeded out front, discovered a few of my nice euphorbias hadn't survived the winter Potted up my lovely new tree - cryptomeria littleworth gnome in its shiny new matching pot And my tsuga canadensis jeddeloh got a repot too Made a small garden bed and planted some primulas (one which i was given recently is an edible variety) and a may-apple aka American mandrake. Repotted a few tricho crests and a couple other bits n bobs.. Collected silene capensis seed. Harvested a few leaves from my white sage plants.. It's amazing how well they have grown - right through winter without any sign of struggle.. And most importantly - Remembered how good gardening makes me feel and decided to get to work on my crazy plant collection overload during the remainder of my holidays. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) -Yeah ya dew! awesome garden Ceres!.... I love tsuga ...........and taxus ... .....Today I let 2 sparrows and a robin out of the GH . decided i needed more to add , and that it was about time i fed the rainforest something so i fed the rainforest box with miracle grow nitrates and some freshly fallen rain (waterbutts overflowing yesterday-scorchio as fk today) fed the GH and the outdoor magickal plants... looked into getting a latua pubiflora after getting re-excited about it on waterboy's thread and added 5litres of rain to the aquarium to counter evap' project ako is still lying dormant awaiting the fresh blood of recently aquired virola seeds, for when they're aquired .. i think I'll sit with the plants and study again... after a cuppa and a smoak while i imagine how many of you guys are buzzing pottering about in the garden .... or just admiring your work ....feeling proud Edited June 30, 2014 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
