Jackie.. not for using them as a breeding ground for sptder mites.. housing in my vines/leaves enough mites to give a few to each and everyone in the entire country..... although it's surely grounds to do so... and this is after spraying with every heavy hitting posion I had.. and could get.. we'll see how this new miticide does.. I just got some Shuttle.. hearalded as the latest and greatest.. they just had their first application of it a few days ago.... we'll give it a couple of applications before trying to determine it's success.. OK so why the charges.. I had plenty of great seed/gifts and ones I had bought in years past.. but this year... I didn't start ones i wanted to bring forth I'd tried to colect from my vines.. I figured I'd set loose new volunteers from the planters I was particularly interested in.. so the first sprouts out werre trained to become the 2010 crop... just about every early riser was the same white with the light purple bands.. of my first JMG.. so I had everywhere as they started to flower.. almost exclucively this flower.. not the earth shattering mix in crossing I'd imagined.. although one was the feathered purple from Emma a few years ago.... and some have been a near red.. and low a few dark purples... I had one planter.. away from everyone.. with the picotee blue.. which I saved some seeds from and didn't grow them out... but took the first sprouts here... and grew out exclucively the white with the banding.. how they got there without any of the ones there before.. and them being the first of any to sprout out.. got them developed in to the crop of 2010.. these were particularly infested.. and overgrowing everything nicely... but wre recently pulled up and replaced with a white Mandivilla.. Guuitky as charged... but here's a fe dispite collecting all the good ones I could last year.. then somehow expecting them to be there in the dirt to sprot out this year.. |
