Growing Citrus Trees in Containers --- Herb Garden Tour

[@catherinefrye7269]

Thank You Wanda for the Citrus Tour! Everything looks lovely ! God Bless. 🤗❤

[@monettecarole]

good morning. coffee and tour to set my day off on the right track.

[@marilynmarilynohearn476]

Thank you for sharing you little bit of heaven with us. I live the high desert in Oregon. We have here about 65 days of growing season. Right now we are dealing with the chem trails. Yesterday they just covered us in hundreds of chem trails. At 8:00 it was a beautiful blue sky with in less than an hour the whole sky was a dirty gray. They continued all day to pour it on. Already today they're at again. We're expected to have thunder showers today. I can tell the difference in my plants. My face and arms was covered in some kind of powdery substance that had a slight burn. Inside my nose and head hurt just from breathing it. I need to start planting my summer plants and take care of my animals. I'll have to endure it. I've decided to only plant in my little green house. I'll move when I can. God willing.

[@judykruse5630]

Marilyn. We get this heavy chemtrailing in eastern Montana. Sometimes day and night! My skin is totally ruined from working in the garden last summer with the chemtrails. This year will have me wearing long sleeves and jeans. The sun makes me break out or get bumps on my arms and legs. Try to detox but can't keep up. I have the nosebleeds, etc also. Those aircraft would be shot out of the sky if I had my way.

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

I enjoyed the tour. Especially how you have the potted fruit trees arranged. The citrus is just beautiful. This year my whole focus is on establishing more permanent fruit trees and bushes, perineal vegetables, and culinary and medicinal herbs, because the vegetable garden is having a nap for the sabbath year. It must be wonderful to grow citrus. I have had zero luck with it here, I killed a lemon and lime so for now I am sticking with what is known to grow really well in Missouri. TY for the tour, its always so fun to see someone elses garden and this smaller tour made me feel proud of my little "orchard" and herb garden too because its about that same size =). Earlier today I already put in an order for a greenstalk to put some things that will need to overwinter indoors in like passionfruit and longevity spinach. So you should be getting a $10 bonus for that.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thanks

[@barbieyelxip1487]

Good morning Mrs Wanda. Such a beautiful citrus garden. I'm from Louisiana but never heard of the Louisiana 🟠. Sure wish I had a place to garden. I've only had an apple tree in my hometown and every other October it was loaded. Sure hope the couple who bought my house didn't get rid of it. They would be missing out on some delicious apples. Y'all tc and have a great day. 🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

That is what Danny calls it.

[@barbieyelxip1487]

@@DeepSouthHomestead Ty. I imagine Danny knows. I'm going to check around. Y'all tc. Hope the weather treats y'all good this weekend. Already getting ready for a storm here. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 oh, btw, hope I didn't disturb y'all with that email about the tornado. I just remembered that y'all go to bed early and don't watch the news. I saw that on Ryan Hall y'all and thought about y'all.

[@denisedoodles]

Thanks for the tour! It was very nice. The shrimp plant is really neat! Really looks like shrimp!! You have a nice, big herb garden. Since I planted from seed this year (and it went well) I sowed a bunch of herbs. They are still too little to use yet, but I'm excited.😁

[@onedelish]

Hi yall

[@dawnbrady152]

Hi Mrs. Wanda. I hope you are well. Your blood flower is a milkweed, typically a host plant for Monarchs so don't be surprised if it is host to caterpillars! I appreciate this tour as I am trying to grow herbs myself.

[@CY-fp1cx]

I use Calamondin Orange to make key lime pie. Sour just like key lime. So easy to make. Juice, sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks. So much juice from such a small fruit.

[@gailpetchenik3048]

Ms Wanda…do u use the pineapple sage for cooking? This is the first yr I have grown it & I really don’t know what to do with it. It smells sooo good 😌

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It can be added to dishes when cooking. I like a leaf or the flowers in salad. Making sausage. It will give it a great taste

[@randyeddins9065]

It's looking great guy's, maybe getting a little fruity around their.

[@maudie5945]

You all are truly blessed to have that garden.. would love to have one..it's so beautiful..I bet it smells great in your back yard..

[@reneebrown2968]

Your shrimp plant is beautiful

[@gogogardener]

Yes. That's a loquat. Kumquat is a tiny citrus. They're good too. Both can be canned.

[@janetjones7880]

plant by she-shed looks like a mandevilla...they are beautiful

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Your herb garden is looking fantastic and I love all the citrus you are able to grow.

[@fullofhope2222]

Oh I love the butterfly bush/hummingbird plant - lovely colours - great job as always God bless

[@gogogardener]

Jealous. I didn't get Pineapple Sage this year. I love it!

[@eileentenenbaum1613]

The red flowers next to your lemon tree is a Mandevilla plant.

[@haileybowman2958]

I’ve never seen a red or orange butterfly bush! Our are all in cool colors like purples and pinks

[@lorrismith7366]

Thank you! This gave me the inspiration to do the same by my back door! Its a new area we just created and I had been wondering what to do with!!

[@shelleyennis4489]

The hummingbird plant (red), is either called a diplidenia or mandible. They look very similar to each other. The leaf sizes are different in the two.

[@tammy2143]

Good morning Wanda. Thank you for the walk through of your herb garden & citrus trees. It all looks fantastic. You & Danny have a blessed day!

[@roberteastman1396]

That 'hummingbird plant' looks like a mandevilla, and if so, it is a vine.

[@lotus....]

Your "butterfly plant" is also a host plant for Monarch Butterflies. Dont kill the caterpillars if they appear on the plant they will become butterflies. The plant is also easily propagated by cuttings just below the joints on the stems and also by seed. We had no Monarchs in our garden before I started planting those plants. They will freeze to the ground in the winter but mine have reseeded themselves in N FL. Your hummingbird plant. is a Mandevillea Vine. It is very frost tender.

[@weeziesyellowtable7852]

Grows very well here in south Alabama. Brings in Monarchs and very easy to propagate. I have started a lot of plants from the mother plant. It only died back in our coldest months. I cut it back in early March and it comes back beautifully.

[@LillieLong]

Rosemary will completely take over everything

[@gogogardener]

I'm guessing you got a lime there. Can't wait for you all to get a taste test.

[@lindawigelsworth9472]

Morning Wanda, your garden of citrus looks great. Especially that Louisiana Orange beautiful.. I was wondering do I need more than one Lemon tree to get fruit. It did bare fruit the first year. Would my orange tree be good enough to pollinate, my lemon tree?

[@texbex9928]

It a lot looks like you're growing shrimp! I very much wanted to grow cold hardy limes but they can't ship to Texas. Your herbs are beautiful. Good morning!

Losing tags is the worst! I put $60 worth of dahlias into my pollinator Garden I labeled each variety and the ink washed off in a week! thank goodness that I did a video of where I planted what, but you know how those get buried. Do y'all have a preferred brand for your citrus fertilizer?

[@gogogardener]

It's milkweed.

The cherry/rose red flowered hummingbird plant looks like a mandevilla (aka "Rocktrumpet"). They come in different colors too. Love the "Citrus Lane", you guys will have your Vitamin C from many varieties of your citrus. Natural Vitamin C. Do you plan on canning any of your citrus? I'd love to see how you do it, if you plan on canning some of the citrus. Just think you can make that "candied citrus peel" they use in Christmas breads (like Pannetone, or Stollen). And they say that dried citrus peels make an effective and lovely scented fire starter! Wouldn't that smell good in your off-grid cabin's fireplace during the Christmas holiday?!! (Will those potted citrus trees go back into the High Tunnel during the winter months?).

I'm curious to know how often and what you use to fertilize your lemons and lime trees. I just bought a couple and a kumquat and olive tree. I haven't had time to do a lot of research because I'm fighting weather trying to even get my garden in here in sw Missouri.

[@mylightofhope]

Good morning Wanda! Thank you for the tour. I bought my 1st lemon and key lime trees about 2 weeks ago. We are also in the process of setting up our G.S. 20x40 greenhouse. Due to time of year, we are just going to wait to put the plastic on until end of summer/first part of Fall. My trees are currently sitting on used mineral tubs filled with a mixture of compost and topsoil on the greenhouse weedmat. I wanted to plant these little trees a long with 2 little olives in these type of tubs, but several videos I've watched it seems everyone has them in much smaller pots. Is there any disadvantages of just going ahead and planting them in these larger pots so I'm not having to "up pot" then later on?

[@gogogardener]

Sigh... You can delete these if you want... Hint: snap a citrus leaf and smell it. You should be able to tell if a citrus tree is a lemon, orange, lime, etc.
