LOL, c-ray,
Nicotiana (flowering tobacco) is one of my favorite plants to grow.
The pics above are of my first attempt in a container...it's in only 2-gallon pot with two cosmos. The tobacco is just starting to flower. Some of these plants get to over eight feet tall in my in ground gardens. This container plant looks like it might get that big!!!
Peace,

Very nice shots caddis!

here is an update on my non- cannabis cutting garden.....

[caddis]

Looking good Wavels. Dahlia in the foreground? Some of those things are so incredibly colored they look like plastic.

Take care, caddis

[Wavels]

Thanks caddis.... the plants blooming are Zinnias (two types--Thumbelina and Giant) Gloriosa Daises. Just starting to bloom: Blue Salvia and Snapdragons, Baby's Breath and Cosmos.
I like cut flower arrangements, and I'm not gay!

[caddis]

Nice! Did you start them all from seed? Don't worry, real men like flowers too.
Cosmos are some of my favs. Have you played with hollyhocks?

Granpa Otts Morning Glory, with some Mexican Hats for company..........

[Wavels]

Hi caddis,
Cool photo!
Morning Glory I've grown a few times, I like the Mexi hats.... gotta try them!
Yes, all of these plants I started from seed. For some reason I prefer the whole process of watching the little seeds develop! IMO, it's more fun starting your own plants. I only grow tomatoes and cilantro and sage besides the flowers. For some strange reason, the past few years I've preferred different flowers. Use to be that I only grew veggies and herbs...now I love flowers!
I have to try hollyhocks next season.... do you have a favorite strain?
Maybe I'm morphing into a homo? hahahaha

[Green Supreme]

Sucks havin no camera.Have some Dahlias,daisies,hostas in flower,as well as some sunflowers in a tray.The purple datura is in flower also,it has 15 blooms forming so far.About 6 more weeks till the peach and white daturas flower.Maybe one day I can show ya.Peace GS

[caddis]

" all of these plants I started from seed. For some reason I prefer the whole process of watching the little seeds develop! IMO, it's more fun starting your own plants"

Ya mon! Same feelings, I started gardening when I popped my first seed. Been hooked ever since. I built a three level rolling seed starting/vegging cart which holds 6 4' shop lights my first year. Now giving a go of making a living at it. :tooth:

GreenS, Do you start new Datura every spring? Or are these old plants? I used to have a stellar creme colored one, flowered from april through oct. Was a very strongly perfumed plant once the sun set. Bum a camera.

cheers, caddis

[Green Supreme]

The purple and white daturas I bought from my favorite flower store.The peach one was a cut I bought from a flea market.Its 3 yrs old and smells spectacular in flower.Have seeds for the purple though and will soon get some from the white one.Could send some if your interested.Peace GS

[caddis]

Hell ya Green S, I'd love some beans from proven odiferous plants. Just like different phenos in weed, different datura plants outa the same pack can be hugely different concerning their smell. I went through several packs from Thompson Morgan and man only 2 outa 14 had any punch.

Thanks for the offer.

caddis

[Green Supreme]

Another flower has opened o the purple datura.Maybe I can get TC to show Vapor how to post pictures.Then maybe we can show you.

[Wavels]

Here are some pics from this AM

[BravoC.D.]

i llove the pics. i have to say becarefull with the chicken if the possums are hungry im sure they will dig to get them feathery friends.

Take care, caddis

[caddis]

can you smell it.......hmmm

[Green Supreme]

Thats sick Bro.Your yard must smell so nice in the evening.Didn't realize you already have the white one.Man it gets me high just lookin at it.Seed pods are formin on my blue one as the last few flowers go off.The peach one won't likely flower for about 2 weeks.Once I have collected seed from the last 2 and its dry I wil be shipping off an envelope to you.Give that beauty a big sniffffff.For me this evening.Peace GS

[vapor]

peonies

[Green Supreme]

Got any ants goin there Nugg ? They seem to love the peonies. Peace GS

[vapor]

acacia

[nuggdigger]

so i asked the wife if there were ants on the peonies. She said of course, they open the flowers up!! news to me..lets have a look shall we?..

Ants on Peonies
Q) I was visiting a friend today who has many varieties. The buds were
covered with ants. She commented that she needed to spray them with an
insecticide. I thought I had read that ants were beneficial to the peonies.
Is that correct and if so, just how do they help?
A) Do not try to get rid of the ants on your peonies. This is a natural and temporary activity. It is believed that peonies produce small amounts of nectar and other ant attractants to encourage ants to help in opening the dense double flower buds found in many peonies. The ants may be found covering certain varieties and avoiding others, this is totally normal.
Once the buds have opened the ants will disappear - also normal.
Some people think ants are REQUIRED to open the flowers, but this does not to appear to be true.
It seems a debatable question whether ants are beneficial or harmful. I think they are neutral.
Should you spray a pesticide to get rid of the ants? That is a definite no. Since the ants are not harmful and some pesticide residues are harmful, why endanger yourself, the plants or the peony's pollinator (good insects) with poisonous sprays?
Just don't spray.
Instead just enjoy the unique interaction of ants and peonies; an evolutionary effect thousands of years in the making and posing no problems in the long run.

http://www.peonies.org/faq0.html


so she's right again, the peonies make nectar to attract ants to pull open the flowers to retrieve more nectar. Miraculous and Amazing:farm:

[Green Supreme]

Just seein if you knew. Peace GS

Well they are getting bigger. Looks like I will have to spay them. Little buggers are getting eaten. Peace GS

My Tropicanna Black started to bloom...

[TheForSaken]

Then a shot of my giant white calla lillies, unfortunately the calla's are arms reach from the sidewalk and as it blooms I get them picked off by theifs. Also my Tropicannas, love the colour.
My cordyline, it's up for grabs as I have no room this year to properly winterize it.
My banana (musa basjoo)
A sugar baby watermelon
And my tropical corner along with some cukes, canolope, radish and a very small sunflower.

[Green Supreme]

Nice The ForSaken. I have been having battery problems with my camera. Good to see someone picking up the slack. Peace GS

[nuggdigger]

yep:) Nice shots TFS. THanx for sharing, luv the watermelon. Also musa basjoo. Musa Basjoo is the hardiest Banana plant on earth. It comes from the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. When properly mulched it can handle -29 Celsius. This plant is a very fast grower capable of growing up to two feet in one week. :sun:

[TheForSaken]

nuggdigger I see you know your bananas, you have any? I've also got many super dwarfs scattered thru-out the garden. This pic of the cordy does not give it justice, it stands over 7 feet tall and has taking over as the main attraction, ppl don't even notice my bananas nomore:(

[Green Supreme]

Ok so I finally got a battery that works for my cam. Wahoo back in action ,so here goes. These are the sunflowers I planted. Not sure why the middle pic had to be smaller than the others. Last pic is the biggest ones. All at one end. They come upto my hip, but I have short legs. LOL. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Well here's a pics of a small veggie garden I planted last week. Thanks and praises to C-ray for the seeds.Back row left to right is Alicante tomatoes there are 3 of those follows by one Orca Bean. Middle row is jalapeno peppers. Left front is Kale. Middle front are carrots and on the right 2 sugar pumpkins. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

End of the foxtails. I will be spreading the seed from these along that whole side of the yard. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Found this sink in an alley and made an herb garden. 2 kinds of basil. Peace GS.

[Green Supreme]

The daturas. They had a hard winter and are just starting to go. the first is the peach one second is the white one. Peace GS

[vapor]

[Green Supreme]

Morning glory. Careful it'll have your whole yard soon. Daisy orchid hmm not too sure of that other one. Thanks buddy. Peace GS

[nuggdigger]

TFS, don't have any :banana: anymore:( but when i was growing up we had a good size patch of :banana: 's. They are a truly amazing plant tree thing.. one good chop of a machete and you could cut right through the soft trunk of the biggest banana trees. The variety is very astounding as well..,my absolute favorite banana being the plantain, the one you would never pick at the store, as it never appears ripe, lol..goes green to black:s. Not a sweet or eatable banana in the raw form imo, but cut into slices and deep fried and salted..and it floors any spud chip..lol. I just luv to see them. The leaves are these huge beautiful solar factories. I also recall the gardener used to tear the leaves from the outside to middle on a few spots on each big leaf. I wondered why he would wreck such nice foliage like that and he replied this allowed the leaf to bend at better angles to catch more :sun:


GS..if you look in my alley you can find a tap for that sink;)
Nifty lil drain to waste idea, good thing wifey didn't see that pic or we have an outdoor bathroom by now:toilet: ...lol

Ok non visual update. My camera is out for repairs and will hopefully be back next week.Sunflowers are now taller than me. Tomatoes and sugar pumpkins exploded with growth last week. The white datura is flowering, even though its still quite small. Foxgloves are done and seed collected for next year.

Hope to be able to show some pics next week. If my camera doesn't show I have a friend coming who will bring one. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Ok so the first sunflower opened today. Where's my damn camera? Its over 2 m. and fire red. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Ok so I finally got my camera back. So lets start off with sunflower pics. The tall ones are over 2 m. Peace GS

[hazedaze]

nice garden pics GS....i have some roma tomato's and a bean plant. (i cant wate to have a vine ripened tomato) time to make a compost bin this week end

Sweet hazedaze. I gotta get off my butt and do that too one day. I'm allergic to tomatoes, but grew them for fun. I will give them away. Peace GS
ps. Note to self compost area

[Green Supreme]

The newest sunflowers. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

I have seen this kind of bush used as a hedge many times. Have never seen berries on them before though. Anyone have any idea what these are called? Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Orca beans didn't stand a chance. Damn insects. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Ok so this is an indoor plant. Have been told its a lipstick plant. Started flowering the other day. Black flowers I love it. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Oh the flowers on that plant are at the bottom near the middle. Peace GS

[nuggdigger]

my lipstick plant had red fuzzy flowers and looked just like that . One way of telling is they are way-way fragrant when flowering..some folks complain the odour gives them a headache. Your plant looks wonderful, isnt it amazing how the runners can go out forever? Mine could probably wrap its arms around the room and is half the size of yours. All your plants look great of course, as would have the orca bean before the bugs got her. Thanx to all those who make it a greener world indoors and out:farm:

peace

[nuggdigger]

Heres a plant i transfered outside from my secret garden this spring. Very different. Wonder what it is.. but wait..whats that down underneath;)

[nuggdigger]

well, suflowers are about finished here..have to remember to keep a seed head for next year. They were started early indoor this spring btw. The tomatoes were the same plants that i had in my secret garden. I cut back most of the foilage, then when they recoverd some i transfered them outside. I tried to plant different types of tomato plants together to observe differences, and for fun. The last shot is one of wifeys lil creations that sits on the deck and smiles all day.

peace:farm:

[Green Supreme]

Nice Nuggdigger. This is my first sunflower that looks like a normal one. Apparently I like the firey ones. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

This plant must have come from last years wildflower mix.Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

OK so I guess this is why they call it a lipstick plant. Peace GS

My old dog used to poop up on top of stuff as well. He'd always like to leave a poonukshuk or an inukshit, if you will, behind as a little testament to his having been there.

Dogs world eh lungus? I would be squishing those chicken turds all day if my hound didn't think they were a food source...
They also seem to be attracted to diapers.

Ok enough skat talk, next we have some garlic poking through the mulch, it was planted mid nov.

Taker easy,caddis

[Lungus]

I was super negligent in planting my garlic this year, but I was saved in that I missed a couple of bulbs when I harvested. I dug them out in February when they had long green tops coming out of each clove and split up the bulbs and then replanted them.

[Rainha Ginga]

nice Buda Lungus

could be bee balm, look for pink flowers
nettles are dark green with serrated leaf edges...they are both members of the mint family

Thanks for the help fellow gardeners. How about more from the bush?

Cabbage and thistle, one stinks the other stings. :laugh:

lookin good everyone!!!!! I'm so excited, My Golden berry seeds sprouted. mmm they taste so good. They grow like tomatoes and taste like pineapple.!!!

[c-ray]

cool bro I am with you...here's a strain of golden cherries called 'goldie'
I also have another variety called 'cossack pineapple' but I have not germed any yet

[c-ray]

here's 3 types of tobacco
1st one is Del Gold a commercial variety from Richter's
2nd one I call hippy tobacco because it came from some hippies
3rd one is the 1000 year old tobacco (rustica) from Salt Spring Seeds
some of this will be for offerings and ceremonial purposes as I am not a smoker per se but I like to grow the plant, it has pretty flowers like the daturas...I think I may jar up some of the Del Gold and pass it around to some smoking friends at x-mas time perhaps

Question for garden people. Last year I grew the funniest carrots from some seed C-ray gave me. I only used 2 bags of dirt for my patch and apparently the carrots thought it wasn't deep enough cuz they all grew like little golfballs. So I have had these in a ziplock in a fridge since the fall. Dog loves 'em, every once in a while I give her one. Now I went in today and theres only a few left. But they are growing new stems and roots. Soooo what would happen if I planted one of them ? Peace GS

[c-ray]

they will grow a shoot, flower and make seeds (biennial)

[Green Supreme]

Cool maybe I do that then. They are the royal chatenay ones you gave me. Peace GS

ps I think the kales I planted last year are doing that too on their own

More flowering things. The ones in the first pic smell lovely in the evening. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Dig away the foliage to get at the gems underneath. Think this is called chicks'n hens. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Next we have kale I planted last year. Its flowering and will hopefully produce seed for a bunch more kale. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Last we have some purple daturas I planted from seed. Peace GS

I am planting my first vege garden and was wondering if i put down landscape fabric (black) if it will heat the roots too much after they sprout? I have some flats that i picked up at the greenhouse that will get planted as well.

Plan is to cut holes in the fabric and plant. the fabric allows water to pass thorugh but blocks the weeds from coming up. The area was previously grass and weeds and was roto-tilled last weekend. got out most of the grass clumps but there are still alot in there.

Thanks for you help.
