BreakingBarrett Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Thought I would pop up some update photos and some photos of the new kids on the block I'm not 100% sure what species this is, but it has a nice little flower. Echinopsis Oxygona flower. Echinopsis huascha flower. Due to my camera settings I had to turn the vibrance all the way down to have clarity in the petals, which made the photo look pretty cool IMO. Acacia acuminata seedlings; the first one died, though four more have popped up. The second one to pop up is coming along nicely and is a bit over an inch tall now. Salvia splendens seedlings. First catha seedling to germinate, it is about 1cm tall now. It looks a bit demented because I sprayed it with water and it has some beaded water between the leaves. California poppies coming along nicely, probably should thin them out a little bit. Some more poppies coming along. Finally had some luck with peganum harmala, a couple seedlings have popped up. The seedling in the middle is the only bat winged coral tree that I had success with, it was over an inch tall one week after being sowed. The coleus branch that fell off is coming along nicely as well. The caapi and brugs are going strong, though the brugs has been attacked by insects. One of the ipomoea cuttings have survived, and on the left is my newest member to the family Since getting my p.viridis I thought it had died, though recently it has shown new growth at the nodes. New growth, only about 1mm each. New leaves growing on my coffee plant. My Acacia baileyana purpurea has taken off recently with lots of new purple growth. Almost forgot, my newest growing adventure. I'm guessing they are just button mushrooms, but thought it would be cool to grow them. Hope you guys enjoy the newest installment of photos from my garden Edited November 25, 2013 by BreakingBarrett 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BreakingBarrett Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) I took a couple new photos this arvo Now that my B.caapi is over 1ft tall I decided to plant it out into the ground, up against a fence in which it can spread across. My little H.salicifolia has started flowering. I now have a couple N.rustica seedlings showing through; pretty stoked that they have germinated. Enjoy Edited November 29, 2013 by BreakingBarrett 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BreakingBarrett Posted October 10, 2016 So, I am finally back on this site, after quite a long hiatus. I have moved house - live my partner, step son, and biological son - so I have a different garden, with much less variety of "active" plants, but I still have some growing, and plan on getting some more varieties soon Tomorrow I will take some photos of my small garden. In the meantime, I will see if I have any photos on my computer of what is, or was, growing. Ciao. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakingBarrett Posted October 11, 2016 So here are the photos of most of my garden. Forgot to take a photo of the cacti up the very back, but you can see them in the second photo. First two photos show the wonderful regen area directly behind my house I live on the very last street of my town, so have the opportunity to walk out the back gate, cross the dirt lane, and then explore the nature regen area. Next photo is the front driveway strip, which is still overcome with weeds. There are palms, yukkas, a climbing rose, and few other plants. We have a grape vine growing around the side of the house, and last year we started training it around the front of the house, and will continue to do so over the coming months Next are my big babies: Mumford (right), and Nala (left). We have an apple tree hidden behind the shed, with some bulbs my partner planted at the base of it. In the middle of the 120L tub is one of the cathas from when I was living at my parents house, which almost died, and is coming back to live now the heat is picking up. The rest are fruit/veg varieties my partner is growing. Some wild flowers that were picked from the regen. My puppy and sun protected plots. The right hand plot is still being modified, after raising the roof a couple feet for comfort when standing inside. Almost all my old seeds I collected through this forum managed to be destroyed, so the remaining tobacco and poopy seeds were thrown in this garden bed 6 months+ ago. After being overrun with weeds in winter, I cleared it out to find one poppy growing, and she is starting to look quite nice. Can't wait for the stalk to appear. We have 2 avocado trees growing. They are starting to get some vigorous growth after winter. Random plants my partner potted up recently. Think they mostly come from the regen. A little succulent and cactus. A pretty flowering species. Don't actually know what it is, as it is my partners. My partners fern gully, and mulberry tree. A closer look of the mulberry tree with some berries forming for the first time Wisteria and some ferns, that are a little feature area next to where the bbq is going to be fitted. Our little lemon tree. The lemons are actually quite nice. Perfect lemonade style lemons. A cross species citrus that has yet to ever fruit. We are going to remove it as it's a waste of space, and grows ridiculously quick. Some herbs my mum gave us, and my son's sunflower plants. We did ave a watermelon patch next to the sunflowers, but the dogs managed to destroy it. Meow-Meow. He is an awesome cat, most of the time. Very chill, talkative, and affectionate. Some cuttings my partner got from her mum, who is also an avid gardener. Lastly, my partners proudest gardening accomplishment: Re-flowering orchid that has multiple flowers, and about 21 budding sites!! She has had it for about a year, and kept it in the bathroom windowsill, up until a couple months ago, when she moved it to the kitchen window, to get better lighting. Hope you all enjoy looking at my new garden as much as I do. PS. I am making a duck area up the very back area, once I have de-weeded and leveled the area. Going to build an epic duck pond, and call the closed off area "The Mighty Duck's House" haha. Ciao for now 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
