    Denbrobium faux pas

    It is a hybrid so I have never seen so much as an image of the flowers.

    Hummers the easy way.

    In one of the photos of the doe I could tell that she was nursing. Today, she was standing by the side of the driveway with twins. :rolleyes: Just what we need, more deer.

    Denbrobium faux pas

    Early in 2017, we had a speaker at the orchid society meeting and as is customary the speaker brought plants for sale. The speaker receives no fee but member plant sales are suspended if the speaker is bringing plants. By the time I arrived all he had remaining were dendrobiums that he had...

    Hummers the easy way.

    A small container of commercial nectar came with the feeder and I used it after doing some research. "The key point in deciding whether or not red dye is harmful to hummingbirds is simple. There is no conclusive research saying the dye is dangerous to the birds, but there is also no long-term...

    Oxheart keeper

    You are right about less seeds Steve. I missed it until you pointed it out but will save seeds from one of these. I guess I was too interested in tasting it to notice the seeds. :rolleyes:

    Well, sometimes you run into a joker who photobombs your setup. :barnie

    new yorker tomato

    Yes, but I also grow them outdoors. Indeterminate, check them out at Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. I bought seeds once years ago and have been saving them ever since. http://www.southernexposure.com/tropic-vfn-tomato-016-g-p-905.html

    new yorker tomato

    I have been growing the tropics for a number of years, and I have tried the New Yorker. There is no comparison. I am sticking with the tropics, the one on top.

    @catjac1975 Congratulations on the picture of the week photo of the hummingbird. I like to shoot them also but I do it the lazy man's way. ;)

    Which one would you grow? One of these is a New Yorker, the other is a Tropic.

    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    We are picking zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers. I am happy to report the netting has kept the deer from the pepper plants. Not a single leaf has been touched and my trail cam shows the deer passing the peppers without so much as a glance.

    Very Childishness But Felt Good

    You take it home with you. It haunts your dreams for months. I'd go to jail before I would do it again.

    Very Childishness But Felt Good

    I served on several gory cases and finally had my doctor get me excused, permanently. I did my duty and then some. :bow

    My cup runneth over, and over and over.

    Well, back to the phalaenopsis seed project. This is about as exciting as watching paint dry; I can't understand how these plants reproduce in the wild other than scattering millions and millions of seeds and relying on pure luck. I replated them again and reverted to the fluorescent light...

    new yorker tomato

    Nope, no blight. They simply stopped growing. Six on each plant and that is it. I have two cur de sur oxheart tomatoes right behind them and those plants have tons of fruit and are over six feet high. The oxhearts are much larger tomatoes and if the taste is right I'll be saving seed from them.
