Yes, it's hard to keep alive over winter. Needs high light, decent water temp and many hours of light each day. Plus some fertilizer. Last year, they grew new sections, rotting the old, into practically mini versions of itself. 1in leaves vs 3-6in+ when outside. More light would keep them larger.

Well, soil was infested with gnats. What fun. Still trying everything to get rid of them. On the plus side, here's my polka dot hedge and it's millions of flowers!

Anyone grow them?? Best soil mix? Best seeds? Any tips?

Replacement pawpaw arrived, better taped to the box and stick.

They're sending a replacement for the broken tree. Out of NC1, so it'll be a Potomac. Redoing planting for two offset rows of 4. 4 cultivars, 1 variegated, 2 Powhatan seedlings and 1-2 Culpeper park seedlings. The final four fburg yearlings. They'll go in the woods and flood plane.

Got 3 in and fenced. They need shade and watering. Then the last tree to be planted.

Got the holes dug. Wire and trees tomorrow.

Cultivars are here, one got damaged. Already emailed about it. Watered and waiting to be planted by tomorrow night. You can see my local, lush yearlings in the background. augh, bad angle. Three cultivar spots in a row, then two will go offset and in between. Got 4 spots ready with tposts. 4...

Ordered three trees. NC-1 Pawpaw, Pennsylvania Golden & Prolific Pawpaw. Thinking maybe planting them on a slope, right beyond the leachfield. Probably plant my little yearling wilds amongst them. Drew a quick map plan. Mulberry haven't rooted yet, so not planted yet. One purple still to be...

Hibiscus says -20 to -30, so, put it in another pot and left it outside. Brought the other into the house.

I'll probably keep one of these for the 2nd square window. Been trying to give away the rest, but no luck. Might throw them out soon.... The other two I mentioned in the previous post.

Got almost all the plants indoors. The hibiscus claims it can stay out, but it looks like 💩, so, might bring it in, too. The ginseng(?) flower plant has to come in tonight. Shade hedge cuttings. Idk where tf to plant them. House is 100% full sun, wrapped by gravel. Polkadot hedges...

Been watching this guy. Unfortunately, he's very late and it's cold out now. Idk if it'll be able to unfurl properly or not. Or if it'll manage to eat and breed now.

They can't taste/process capsaicin. So, yep.

Bitty taters, second harvest. hot ones. Peppers aren't slowing down much For the chickens Got far too much in the freezer and husband isn't eating them like he claimed. Most of what I'll plant next year will be for the chickens. Way too much in the freezer or pickled that'll last...

Got two planted.

5 cages wrapped and ready for use. Debating putting tops on them, too. 🤔 One year tree to demonstrate how'd it look in the ground. The bare legs will go, hopefully, all the way into the ground.

The 7 I still need to decide on...They've grown. Making protective cages for seeds & little trees The planted ones. That stupid $70 tree...got beat up by stupid sheep. 4yrs and now shorter. Ugh. Rest growing and doing well.

Creek banks just slightly spilled over. Creek waters dropping- The flats or marsh areas of the old farm. 🫠 Not as bad as it was back in 2017.
