Do you guys want to take your frustration out on squash bugs? I just discovered something cool. If you take a piece of squash leaf w/ the eggs on it, and take a piece big enough to hold w/ your fingers (or even safer a pair of tweezers) and you hold the egg side over a lighter flame they pop...
This is my first so I don't know. The research I did said it has shallow roots and does better w/ mulch. It doesn't like to dry out completely, but no standing water either.
Been doing a little research on passiflora, seems like the plant grown from seed doesn't ness. form a true to parent flower. I had a few plants grow this year so I may get different flowers from each, how exciting.
How did I miss this thread this long? Great job everyone, that mirror is amazing, and Bee that daybed is great but the granddaughter is too cute for words!
Yes maypops are a passiflora (passion vine) but not all passiflora are hardy to my area, maypops are and this is a native vine, seed harvested from a native.
Sadly mine is a bocking variety so not invasive, I would love the invasive kind, it is one of the best high protein forage for chickens and rabbits!!!! I would want it to take over the whole 1/3 acre the chickens and rabbits inhabit.
I was worried the hummers would ignore them b/c of the blue instead of a warm color, but no problems they found them. Carol they are worth the find for sure. Thistle they would be worth the effort to store the roots or try and collect seed or something like that.
