Good morning everyone:
how are we this beautiful fall day???? not much going on today. cool weather is still kind of wearing on the ole bod.
Had my niece pull out all the stuff from the greenhouse yesterday. I was amazed at how things looked and that I had so many Japanese maples growing in a seed flat. I got the planted and se aside the other JM's I've grown the past few years. I am trying to get ready for the big freeze coming up. I have to bring in so many plants that i don't know where to start.
I really hope the bananna's take and end up coming back next year. I think one of the 2 i planted was a hardy bananna. once I get the hardy ones going I can quit hauling the big ones inside. they are huge, over 6ft tall and loaded with pups. I might just narrow down the group by splitting them all up.
I am going to try to winter over my Parots beak/lotus vine. I would really like to have one in bloom next year. see the attached pic. The plumeria is really fun also. I had gotten a pack of seeds and did not know what i had untill mid summer where the seedlings started forming a cane and leaves. I ended up with 3 in one pot.
I accidently got crepe myrtle seedlings that way too. when I have seeds to sew and not enough room I will plant a group together like that and see what happens. I had a buddy that sent me a couple of white crepe myrtles that are more horizontal than other CM'z.
well the back yard looks like a bomb went off as i have all these trays with soil in them and nothing growing in them. I am trying to get them all cleaned out so i can spray them down with bleach and sun dry them.
well thats about it for now
