ROCKS, CORN and CARAVANS...more gypsy chatter

Sorry Rachel didn't mean to forget you.
Hope you're doing well

They are very much smaller than a flea! They don't move, jump, or fly even when I spray them. I sprayed my plants will all kinds of stuff for powdery mildew, white flies, and these very tiny black bugs. I hope I haven't killed my plants.

Well at least the bugs should be dead. The plants are probably fine.

I took a syringe and injected insecticide right into the vines of my pumpkins and they lived.
Amazing but they did.

Well there are to many fingers on this keyboard so I guess its back to the movie.
We just watched A haunting in Conneticut, who will have nightmares me or the GS???

Later

Be careful about getting that pesticide into your food chain.

I just have to add here since some of you are talking about raising pumpkin's. I watched a program the other morning on PBS concerning a Pumkin festival that was going on in New York somewhere. It was all about who could grow the largest of pumkin's around. The winner pumkin weighed in at over 1,200 lbs.! I was amazed at some of the storie's that went along with the progam.

Hi Rachel! Good evening; aloha ahiahi!

Are Pumpkins still edible when they get that big?

Here's Mountain Apples, Syzugium malaccense, starting to ripen up.

Hi Dave. I do not know about how edible pumpkin's are when grown that large but I can tell you according to that program.....people could get cut-throat and down right dirty to their competition!

By the way....you should add a picture of your blooming Ayahuasca vine to plant file's. I think I also seen a Musa paradisiaca in one of your pic's as well?

Whewwww somebody pinch me. Don't know if I'm alive or not. All is quite now but been booming since yesterday evening. GK's came for sleep over and mammy gave them pepsi after 6. The four yr old was still bug eyed at 12am. Kids came over today cooked for10 but got two more windows installed, gas tanks filled and moons lillys planted. Then we did smores on a fire.Fun but think I need a long nap. Love the pictures and jj sounds like gs is on the road to recovery. Moon I made a boarder around my iris patch with the lillys and took a couple to family graveyard for decoration. The 4 yr old said now that was boreing lol.

Hey RachelLF. I'm impressed. Those big names I can't even pronounce much less know what they are lol

Sorry, didn't mean to interupt carry on, Hi Metro hope you are doing well. gonna shut er down for tonight. Have a Good Sunday.

I've got a few very rare Bananas; I'll go get one you haven't seen yet.

I need to spend about a day adding stuff to the PF.

Here's the new growth of Ceratozamia mexicana.

Hi Flower's. Sound's like your having a busy weekend;-) I have to look up those "big name's" alot;-)

Ooooh! Trina has to see that one!!

All those fruit that you mentioned, are any edible? What about those strange looking apples?

Yes RachelL I admire anyone that can remember the proper names for plants I always learned the slang version I guess you could say easier to remember I guess lol. Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to hop in and say Hi

I will look forward to the pic's Dave along with everyone else.

Good to see you Venice and Flower's. Flower's, I am better with common name's but sometime's there are just too many "common" name's for some plant's and it can get mis-leading......so I have learned anyway's;-)

Dave, it's about time for a new thread. Maybe you should start the next one with more photo's from your Garden/Hawaii.

Hi Venice have ya got it all figured out yet?

LOL Never!!!!

Ok yall keep em going until I get my second wind. Goodnight all love your inputs.

Yes Venice, all those tropical fruits I mentioned are edible. When Java Plums are ripe you can see local kids with purple stained faces & hands!

The Mountain Apples are excellent eating; they'll be ripe in less than a week as they turn red.

This is Mai'a Ka'io, Musa paradisiaca, a rare Hawaiian Banana in the Popo'ulu group.

Will do Rachel. How about Gypsies on Vacation.

Gypsies on Vacation would be lovely Dave.

Sound's great.

Dave, when the fruit is ripe, can you show us what one is like and one that has been cut in half? The cluster of apples looks like it might be only one apple!

We are going on a trip...GYPSIES ON VACATION http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1039990/
