indoor growing problem. help?
Posted on May 5, 2009 at 5:44pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
last year when i planted things indoors it didnt work...they got spindly and even though i bought a fan it still didnt work so well. (i have a grow light here too) and i realized it was pointless trying to copy nature and better to arrange things so that i could plant outside in containers (my plan this year.).
so my question is this: if i plant indoors and then wait until the first sign of germination and THEN move the plant outside will i avoid all of the problems associated with… Continue

Char Smith said… - Z,
HOW does your garden grow?
BEEN working so hard on re building the water fall.
NOTHIGN has happened with the crane. Today I saw a huge hawk fly over my pond. I jsut wondered if he could be on a suhi diet also.
HOW long before they go away? I HATE this fence around the pond.
I htought I would find some plastic Christmas ornaments and hand them on a wire and stretch it across the pond. I have been tols shinny things scared the birds away. WHAT do you think?
ALSO I have too many birds coming to my house for a bath and spalsh. TOO my poop EVERY WHERE!
ANY advice?
Char

- mostly the monarchs I typically have a minimum of 5-6 at all times of the day. I was lucky once and had the Zebra [Floridas state butterfly] but it only stayed for a few short hours. I have the gulf fritillary quite often too but not as much as the monarchs, they love my yard. I have the occasional [referred to as fly bys]sulpher, red admiral -awesome, white peacock, viceroy, swallowtails, and whew that is all I can think at the moment . What about you? I am from KY too and last year at mom's there were thousands of swallowtails on her mimosa tree! It was truly amazing! have a great day!

I thought the blog as shown is interesting. Non digging garden. It has gotten so hot here and my downstairs air is broken. Thank goodness there's a breeze down the street from the bayou. My son has gotten into gardening with me now and we've done a lot lately. He moved in after our Hurricane ruined his apartment. He has a daughter who is about to have a baby so I'm almost a great grandma. We're going to build a "treehouse" for my g kids.
