Because of this. And our paper white daffodils having reached the end of their bloom indoors. My boy and I are going to dig a couple gladiola bulbs up from the outdoor flower bed to force indoors. And I'm confused by them. Grow every year being left in ground over MI winters. Not supposed to. Always left them to the frost to make room for my next fancy. 3 springs ago they regrew before I began planting. Same dozen or so dividing every year now. May be the cinder block foundation they are next to. No insulation. But like to hear your thoughts on this.

TY.

Interesting.

Maybe you have some root networks underneath there near something warm? Microbial life is crazy - but I would have to say with all things considered; it's the life inside that pocket of soil that is in question nothing above the surface really. Exception of the sunlight.

I've mixed cold wet soil turned warm with some of my dry amendments and a bit of effort b4.
What we can visibly see is a drop in the bucket to what is at work.

I love my freaks and oddities. Never the same tales as the many. Making a point to document more things. Never had an inclination and wasn't compiling evidence against myself thing.

Just a garlic clove in typical bulb bag over a narrow neck vase. Straight tap water. LOL. Kid never saw garlic bloom. More power to him.

I thought this was garlic looking at it. I HATE garlic. Confused because I thought it might be a bulb u were talking about earlier.

I have never seen on bloom, ever. I stay a good 5,642ft away from that crop at all times. I also can't enter people's grows unless I am invited.

We consume more than most here. Just not grown in forever. Gladiolas tomorrow. Leaves still standing and wet sloppy snow. Ground should be soft. Messy but quick. Nice having fresh blooms at the end of winter.

This little beauty came out of some 12 seed cover crop from BAS. It was growing in a pot of a plant I culled, but I didn't want to kill it. Dug it up and transplanted it to a pot that im trying to turn into a beneficial bug habitat. Got a bunch of beneficial bug seeds planted, hopefully in a couple weeks ive got a lush green miniature forest along with whatever this plant is.

I have no idea :lol: It could be something local. I use a coots mix soil, that I mixed up and let cook outdoors. I searched most of the plants listed in the seed mix, but didn't find anything that resembled it. Looks like its fixing to start flowering, so maybe that will give me a better idea. Guess I could download one of those plant identifying apps for my phone. The leaves look like an ivy plant, but I have almost zero knowledge of ornamental plants, other than super popular ones. It just looked to nice to cut down. It will give the ladybugs somewhere else to crawl around, and they'll probably like hanging out under those big leaves. There are a couple more just like this one with some of my plants in veg, but they are barely a quarter the size.

Man it looks like you are correct!! Mancan Buckwheat is one of the seeds in the mix. Literally the only one I didn't Google, because when I think of wheat, I don't think of anything close to this :lol: Mystery solved, ill smoke to that :blsmoke:. Looks like I might have some good looking flowers soon, im sure the ladybugs will like that.
