___Sweet Justforfun; what else are you planning to grow? Do you eat your Sunflower seeds?
___While my vegetable garden is now in doubt, I have some little work on my last bonsai. The container I originally made is rotting in the bottom, & as it is time to trim back the roots on the tree, I may as well make a new tray.
___As luck has it, I just broke up this little wooden stand for firewood & it is redwood I believe. I will resuse some of the remaining boards for a new bonsai tray. The tree, a varigated cypress, is pictured in post #8 of this thread.
___As I don't know how often I may have a posting opportunity now, I hope you all will keep this little thread growing with your own garden storys.

___Well, the little peas are thriving. We had 1" rain in the last 18 hours & it's still falling. The downside is I may have moved out before they bear fruit. Nonetheless, someone shall have peas!

Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

Peas are fruit? or is that some kind of expression I've never heard? *sigh, what a mad world.

I think the seed producing part of any plant is referred to as the fruit of the plant. In that context pecans are the fruit of the pecan tree. See 2 at fruit...

Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

This year's project is Datura metel blue. Southern California has the sun and heat for it. My nice southern exposure plot bedevils the neighbors. It's nasty for being hard to germinate but I've got 18 seedlings already up! The first real leaves will appear any day now.

There's an even better part! It's a dicot, but five of the seedlings are cleanly tricotted and one has four cotyledons! I can hardly wait for the true leaves to appear. You know which plants get priority in the garden.

___Wicked beautiful plants UncleAl! Do you consume any parts of them? Look out!
___Anyway, I wanted to post up before Ace starts his game play to report there is now 2" of rain in the gauge since I emptied it yesterday.
___I used the term 'fruit' informally; technically a fruit is a a soft or fleshy covering which surrounds a plant's seeds. Ergo, peas are not technically 'fruit', but tomatoes are.

Red face Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

___Just a note to say the pea plants remain small but they are growing. Since they went in the ground we have received more rain & cooler temps than since Winter began.
___I can harvest some green onions ant time now too.

Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

I am growing tabascos and habaneros. I like to pick the tabascos straight from the bush and dip them in apple jelly. I use the habaneros in many dishes throughout the year.
