Things are coming along, with lots of cuttings taken, bound for the KY outdoors.

Great pics and plants! I wonder how many farmers have gone to Toys R Us to get plastic swimming pools?

A few of the spring flower girls .

4 Herijuanas

LouieXii and Diablo og

cherry pie , I took a bunch of cuttings from these and then put them out so they aren't very full.

Is that a gardenia back there?

TWS · Mar 12, 2014

Beautiful TWS..........where's the Damn Like button?!.......like.....

Smidge34 · Mar 12, 2014

Looking awesome TWS! I've got a mini greenhouse I have set out a couple of warm, 65-70ish days so far, but mine has been an indoor jump start effort at best. I was mowing my yard by now the past two years, but still have a little snow on the north side of the house, haha. I'm jealous.

Here is what I have learned after killing several over 20 years.

They love iron. Got anything rusty in the yard - put it next to the gardenia.
They love acid. These are the only plants that I feed bag nutes. I use the Vigaro Azalia, Gardenia, Camellia food. A neighbor also had two german short hairs and his gardenia was like a tree (dog piss = acid).

Last but most importantly - they love to be against east facing walls where they can get morning sun but are shaded in the afternoon.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Mo

Thanks. I have 11 indoors about 1.5 weeks in that are supposed to go out but they are doing so good I kinda don't want to but I think the cherry pie coming up behind them will push them outside where they were started for.

Thank you so much MO. I have a big one I just bought that you didn't see . I thought they were under feed and it made them worst then thought they were yellowing from not enough water and killed one that way. I like the smell, honey suckle too.

Haha, I hear ya! It makes cleanup and collecting runoff after watering a breeze. I believe I got mine at Dollar General for $6. My little dog splashes around in it during the summer, so it was a home run buy!

I tried individual aluminum turkey pans for each smartWalmartpot at first, but they predictably leaked after repeated handling.

Looking great TWS

I love gardenias too. I had one but lost it in a freeze. I used to give it coffee grounds and it loved them.

at least 1.5 month before you can plant outside . sooner for monsters.
