Gardening Thread- Show me your gardens!

Wow learning something new. I had never seen spring figs before.

 

I am in zone 8b here are some of my strawberries and blue berries!

 

What net do you use on your blueberries? Like them? I tried some, and they were too small.

 

Guess it depends on variety?

I put soil acidifier and some this on mine...we will see if they do anything

 

Yea my blue berry bushes are small. I got some off Amazon, I believe they're like 3.2ft x 4.9ft

 

I did they same thing to mine! I also used the Hollytone on my strawberries.

 

Azaleas decided they wanted to show off this year.



The clematis is also quite happy right now. We'll see how it does this year as the summer heat moves in and the sun hits that side of the house hard. They like the sun, but not the heat the house radiates out later in the day.

 

Nice! Where you located?

 

It will. Save the coffee grounds and sprinkle them on the ground/water with them during the year. Coffee is acidic.
I did it religiously all winter and bushes are loaded this year.

 

GA, north of Atlanta by about 40 minutes.

 

I was looking at my strawberry plants this evening and noticed they were black inside the flowers, we have had several freeze and frost warnings, guessing my covers were not enough protection.

 

Hello All, Does anyone know what these are and how to get them to multiply? Thank you for any help.

 

Daffodils or Narcissus. They are a bulb and will send out baby bulbs if soil conditions are right. After everything turns brown, carefully dig them up shaking the dirt away from the roots and then separate the bulbs if they have multiplied. You can then replant. Or you can store them in a paper bag filled with sawdust or pine shavings until the fall. There is great information about this online. Hope that helps

 

If you leave them alone in the ground, they will spread also naturally. Daffodils need 6 weeks to feed the bulbs after they finish blooming. You can buy bilbs in Lowes, Home Depot, Sams, etc to plant more. They must be planted in the fall or EARLY spring. They need a lot of water to establish.
We put 75 bulbs in last falls and another 50 this February.
Squirrels love them and will dig them up. We lost a hundred bulbs to them when we planted daffodill under the pine trees.
If you are in GA, go to Gibbs Gardens. They have several million daffodils bloom every spring.

 

@Pointeman @Barsoom Thank you both for the great info. Because I only have a few of them I think I will get some bulbs and try that first. Appreciate the good info and fast response !!!

 

No problem! If you want really striking blooms, look for Tahity daffodills. They have a double row of petals.

PS sprinkling red pepper flakes deters the squirrels, but they need to be reapplied after the rain.

 

Daffodills finished blooming, planted last fall.


Daffodils we planted in February are finishing up also.


Peach


Apricot (first time in 10 years, need to spray them all)

Green onions need to be eaten. Doing Steak tip rice bowls for dinner tonight.
