Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Hummingbird Plants"Aren't they the cutest things? Love your pictures. We ocassionally see a hummer passing through. We get a lot of them in Aug and Sept when they are migrating again."
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Hummingbird Plants"Rain forecast here for the weekend. The garden surely needs it but I wish it would only rain at night like in Camelot."
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Hummingbird Plants"Sorry about your bad weather Linda. I live in S. Tex and it was beautiful today. The weather in Spring is topsy turvy. But I think Summer has arrived. I'll be hard pressed to get my plants in and repair my garden before it gets too hot here in…"
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Hummingbird Plants"I too love the quail! They are so cute.
My humingbird feeder broke when I was cleaning it. Got to get a new one. We don't have a lot of Hummers here. They stop by when they are migrating. But maybe I can coax some to stay."
Bobbie Williams replied to Tracy Bracken's discussion New Here! in the group Zone 9"Welcome Tracy. Althought I live in zone 9 just S. of Houston, You have a better chance of growing some bveautiful plants that I can't. It gets so hot here, some things will not tolerate the heat. I have a terrible time with seeds. The squirrels…"
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 9"Ady, I wish the freezes had killed the dang Trumpet vines. They have roots to China and grow everywhere. Don't know how they got started. I can't believe I planted one on purpose one year thinking they would attrack hummingbirds. I have…"
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 9"Hi Ady.
I'm having a time digging out dead roots of plants that were well established. Who would have thought that my Hummingbird plant had such a root system! No wonder it came back every year.But it's dead now.And the dead Hibiscus is…"
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 9"Hi Marissa, Gardening in Zone 9 is going to be quite different than Vermont. But have fun . When we moved here I missed the most the tulips and daffodils that do so well in areas with cold Winters. Anyrhing that takes a cold Winter doesn't do…"
Bobbie Williams replied to Ann's discussion Growing bananas in Zone 9? in the group Zone 9"Bananas do well if you keep them watered. I have grown banana trees but only once did they produce any bananas. I think they need lots of water. The plants hold LOTs of water in their trunks. Mine froze this Winter."
Bobbie Williams replied to Pam Creglow's discussion Mango Trees in the group Zone 9"Nope I haven't But I live just S.of Houston. Love Mangos. I thing Corpus weather is better suited than ours."
Bobbie Williams replied to cheryl's discussion trumpet vines in the group Hummingbird Plants"I Hate Trumpet vines. They spread everywhere and have roots all the way to China, Once you get them established they will take over your entire garden. Best in Rural areas, In a small yd and in the city they can be a pest. I've spent 3 days…"
Bobbie Williams commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 9"I lost some favorite plants also.

Angela Terwilliger z8-TX said… - Well hello neighbor! Yes, the recent storms we've been getting can be hard on the garden, especially if you have new plantings. After hurricane Ike wiped out my entire garden I decided to start over with nothing but containers for the first year until the plants are more hardy and have well established root systems. This also comes in handy for days like today when we're supposed to get more damaging storms. I can put all of them into my garage to protect them.I won't lose hiundreds of $ worth of flowers this year! Well, unless a hurricane takes down my garage hehe. Nice to "meet" you!

Laura Moody said… - Hi, Bobbie. I live north of Baton Rouge, and am trying to find people who garden in the south to share ideas with. This is my first time on this site, and it looks interesting. Have you run across anyone who is in Louisiana?

Yucka
"Joan, I researched this for ya. Yucca like to be planted in sandy or rocky soil and like full sun. Do not over or under water them. Yucca are very hardy and pretty well take care of themselves. Just cut of the dead leaves in the Spring...…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Flower Gardens"Just for fun, here's a cosmos pic (C. sulphureus) and a Harrisia cactus, both blooming in the garden. Talk about a sweet-and-salty combination: a fluffy self sowing annual, and a durable low-water tropical cactus. Still, they…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Arizona"Good morning everyone! Plenty to do in the garden today but I thought I'd just pop in and share these Harrisia blooms in the garden. This plant blooms off and on all summer long. It has four blooms this morning and…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Cactus & Succulents"Thanks everyone, keep your pics and comments coming too. This morning I awoke (early!) to these very pretty, large, blooms on my Harrisia cactus. The plant blooms off and on all summer long. This morning it had four flowers. …"
