I’ve grown Orange Hat microdwarf tomatoes indoors over winter and they were great! Also got a few Quick Snack cucumbers. Right now I have lettuce, spinach and radishes growing…hoping for a mini harvest before I can garden outdoors! And I liked dwarf Alberta spruce because the deer seemed to leave them alone, but this year even they were not safe 😫

This is exactly the biggest shortcoming of the USDA hardiness zone system, unfortunately. It only addresses how cold an area gets, not how long it stays that cold or other factors that can impact a plant's survival. It's just a guideline, but until something better comes along, it's the best that the industry and gardeners can do.

Just returned from the Caribbean so catching up on last weeks show. After looking at all the tropicals in the islands, I’m motivated to grab a few more tropicals for the house. My bananas and oleanders are holding tight so I’m hopeful that my tropical overwintering skills are getting better each year. I’ve never been able to get a Bougainville to survive a winter indoors with any stamina (or flowers). Perhaps I’ll give a new proven winners variety another chance😊Great show.

I have kept a container hibiscus and a container bougainvillea indoors during the worst parts of the winter, for three winters now. (including other container tropicals) I take them out in the sun when I can, and I bring them back inside my bathroom at night. By January, it is no longer possible to take them out regularly. By late January, they start heavily defoliating. I cut off most of the branches that are bare, and only keep the branches with leaves. It helps conserve the plant's energy. Both plants will flush back out fast with new branches as soon as they get regular sun again. This year, I have been using a grow lightbulb I connected into a light bulb wall adapter. So far there is no defoliation, and the leaves look great.

Adriana: camera recommendations for all viewers please!
@pwcolorchoice4 күн бұрын
Twist my arm! 😄 To start off, for monitoring any activity in the landscape/garden there are a few main things to keep in mind - weather durability, battery power, and device storage. For these reasons I often recommend trail cameras that are built for this type of situation. There are trail cameras that allow cellular connection so you can just download an app on your phone to see what the camera is capturing vs having to upload the files to see. This can be really handy but also can lead a camera to being a bit more expensive than those without this feature. Picture quality, trigger speed, and nigh vision should also be considerations. Of course, each camera is different and what is best for you will come down to budget and desired features. Here are a few I suggest looking into, GardePro E6 Trail Camera TACTACAM Reveal X Gen 2.0 DEATTI Trail Camera There are situations where I've recommended a GoPro but those aren't always the best option. All this being said, if you have a specific situation and would like help figuring out which camera would be best for you, I'm always happy to help! ☺

@pwcolorchoice4 күн бұрын
Most woody plants benefit from low phosphorous, but the truth is that overall, phosphorous is way too abundant in most residential soils so high P fertilizers are best avoided in the ground. It's fine to use them in containers with potting mix, but I'd generally recommend against high P as a general use fertilizer for anything in the ground. ☺

I garden in SW Missouri and have had great luck with Hollywood Hibiscus. I bring my pots into the unheated attached garage to overwinter. Water very little throughout winter. (maybe every 4-6 weeks) They usually drop most of their leaves by warmer weather, but I give them a good "haircut" when I bring them back outside, put them in a partial sun/sun location, water and fertilize. Before long I'm rewarded with new foliage and beautiful blooms.
