Happy 6th anniversary.

For us south of you, it's not as cold as it was yesterday morning.

Have a great week ~ FlowerLady

Wait, do you really mist it every 30 minutes all day? How is your plant doing now, by the way? I'm thinking about trying to grow one inside in Chicago so I'm grateful to read about other people's experiences.

like meemsnyc, how I wish I had the same problem. Can't keep enough rosemary bushes since I don't have a garden. You can puree them or boil them with water and use as a final wash. Good for the scalp and invigorating your senses :)

Wow! I had no idea that you could grow lychees in the US! Awesome!

Beautiful plant and a nice harvest of berries! I also own a plant myself only about 22 inches at the moment but still producing berries. Really love using it throughout the month and experimenting with foods and drinks!

Drip irrigation is one such technology, which has assumed great importance in the recent times. In the present situation when the irrigated area is increasing, ground water table is dwindling and availability of surface water for irrigation is getting reduced, drip irrigation is the only answer to meet the growing demand of water.

Drip Irrigation is the most modern technique of applying water directly to the root zone of the plant in right quantity at the right time and at the right place.

Zeuxine strateumatica, aka the Lawn Orchid. It's a small orchid that came over from China in grass seed and has found a nice home in Florida and some of the other Gulf and Atlantic states.

Infect its a mystery plant for me as well. What could it be.

2012-01-11T22:03:57.413-05:00

Ah, I found your answer here to my question regarding the sour and sweet. Regarding the animals with nails could also be iguanas. My one medium successful harvest was a constant battle to beat the animals to my garden. I think it was either iguanas, racoons or armadillos. Just three other possible critters of zone 10. ~Terri

2012-01-11T21:52:54.342-05:00

I don't understand what your meaning was by - "Remember...the miracle fruit makes your tongue think sour food id sweet!" Are you saying that Miracle fruit is sour but tastes sweet? Or you eat MF and then all other sour foods taste sweet? Sorry. Also, why was it that there were shows about ending world hunger with this fruit? Especially if it is difficult to grow (by needing micronutrients added throughout its slow growing process)? For someone who is NOT a very good gardener, is this one that I should hold off until I have had successful harvests? Or is it worth the planting? Thanks for your input. ~Terri

Container plants are a great way of bringing the outdoors in. In a place like hospitals, having greenery around is a wonderful idea as it can make the atmosphere more refreshing.

No matter how often I see these birds around each time is still exciting. They are marvelous creatures and yours is a real beauty!

It's been a long time since I've been here...I miss my miracle fruit. Sadly we sold them when we moved away from Florida two years ago. They were such fun!

I also had a ficus hedge and had it removed because of the root system. I replaced it with 3 gallon podocarpus about 10 months ago. Now they are about 5 feet tall and my home looks great. I can not wait for them to get taller.

Hi Danielle,
I cannot believe you throw away the Palm seedlings.
They cost a fortune with us in the garden centres. But that is the only place they grow well as all our efforts to grow them have failed.
Must be our awful northern french weather !

If you get dozens of comments about selling them, I'd like to ask if how do these fruits taste like? As I look at them, they seem sour.

I'm trying to water root a cutting, I stripped the bottom leaves and removed the flowers. Was doing ok for about 2 days, now the leaves are droopy like it's wilted. Any thoughts?
