DeadStar Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I would like to take you for a walk around my small garden. It has slowly build up over the years and will continue to grow into the distant future. I have started most of my plants from seed or small cutting, give or take a few trades and purchases Ss hybrid seeds i got from amozonion, plus a few randoms Except for the crest incognito gifted me the trichos. Native finger lime is flowering Lophophora Defenders of the veggie patch. Well sort of Blue corn from hillbilly Caapi Gold from doublebenno, staghorn,tasmanian mountain peppers m/f, Brazilian grape tree, tamarillo and some azaleas that will get the chop and trained as bonsai once their flowers drop Some future bonsai and a Adriatic fig Fruit trees Lemon/lime, blueberries, peaches, apricots and grapes Hamiltons crest? Got from bunnings years ago Sarracenia olive's pod giveaway seeds in takeaway nepenthes Grafted superkabuto Edit. Removed a double pic.

DeadStar Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) A few more pictures from around my garden. A pic i took earlier this spring. The pot also has orange pigface mixed in but the two never flower together. Random container Psycho0 Datura metel Purple queen. I have just repotted these last week. Some are recovering better than others Burnt orange brugmansia and also anther brugs that i got from a market. It hasn't flowered yet so im unsure of its flower colour. Both planted in the ground last week. Edited November 11, 2015 by DeadStar 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghosty Posted November 11, 2015 nice Deadstar. thanks. how old is the finger lime? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadStar Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) nice Deadstar. thanks. how old is the finger lime?no worries.I brought the finger lime three years ago at a native nursery. Its a grafted red Rainforest pearl. I got one fruit last year and hope to get a few more this year. Its a spiky little bugger and unfortunately the fruit looks like turds hanging in a tree.

ghosty Posted November 11, 2015 "unfortunately the fruit looks like turds hanging in a tree."LOL so, a bit like some of my acacia then I got one in the ground. and a few in pots. the one in the ground is from herbalistics and is about 2 1/2 years old i suspect (normal rootstock). cant be too sure of it's age though as life has been beyond crazy in that time. it has not yet flowered and i expect it to take many more years. sad really because my "breakfast champion" marmalade calls for them. Along with cinnamon, cardamon pods, kaffer lime leaf and pomello's. 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 cardamon pods, one lime leaf, and one fingerlime to each pomello -) if i recall it right. made the normal way. adding the fingerlime at the last minute to retain it's awesome texture. try it if you wish. i recon it's bloody good. well, as far as sugary crap goes. it's a treat really. hardly "food". Thanks Deadstar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadStar Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I was going to get a non grafted one initially because the grafted were so expensive but this is one fruit i wanted sooner rather than later :-) I will definitely pinch your recipe. That sounds yum. Edit. Spelling Edited November 11, 2015 by DeadStar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted November 11, 2015 yeah i hear that. i want it sooner too, but oh well.. at least it will be there for the next folks to live here in future. koolies, feel free to further refine it or play about with it. curious to know what you think of it, and what changes you make to it. we can only but wonder how it might evolve as others modify it to their tastes. i think that's a wonderful thing.

DeadStar Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) A few new addition to the garden These were from theuserformallyknownasd00d. Potted up and enjoying life. I really wish i didnt loose the tags for these seed grown ones. They were looking really sad in the soil they were in but they have been coming back to life since i changed to ziolite only astro caput medusae Ive started to collect cymbidiums recently. The flowers on these are spectacular. I cant wait until mine flower. A couple of plants that i brought at a nursery Three finger limes this year My first rebutia flower Edit. Added some plant names Edited November 27, 2015 by DeadStar 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadStar Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Was a little bored so i took the phone out back and took a few shots. Thought i would bung em up Penis pups :-) I couldn't focus on this little lady. Hope she is the good bug and not the bad type I love japanese black pines. They are one of the only plants i dont worry about with the frost i get here over winter. I'd never tasted figs until a few years ago. They are sooooo good when left on the tree until they are almost jam inside the skin This dwarf peach has millions of peaches ;-) L.

Sallubrious Posted November 29, 2015 I love figs The fruit on mine is just setting now - I can't wait. Some people don't like them, which I don't understand - they're the fruit of the gods. . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Presidente Hillbillios Posted December 23, 2015 hows your corn going? I have problems with waterso sometimes cant start vegies until really late. It will be after feb this year :s But corn popped up in there on its own and isnt doing so bad just from nature has supplied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadStar Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Your not wrong about the corn being a thirsty crop. I have pre bonsai that are in much smaller pots that i water less. No cobs yet. I have found i am a couple of weeks behind inner mebourne and close to a month behind sydney in terms of plants flowering I would never buy one of these for myself but this was given to me and i love it Edited December 24, 2015 by DeadStar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
