By Janenaf on Apr 30, 2024 9:28 AM, concerning plant: Gardenia Diamond Spire® These gardenias are not as trouble-free for me as all of my other types. Leaves are frequently yellow. They are not thriving like all the other plants. Fertiliser and water haven't worked thus far but any recommendations are greatly appreciated [ | Reply to this comment ] |
By MrsMud on Apr 30, 2024 9:17 AM, concerning plant: Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Good Impression') Well, this is now the fourth season with Good Impression, and predictably it has developed Spring sickness for the fourth time. Sadly I have decided to cull it and replace with another cultivar. [ | Reply to this comment ] |

By adknative on Apr 30, 2024 3:22 AM, concerning plant: Garden Onion (Allium cepa 'Early Yellow Globe') When cooking with onions, note that - if you cut the base (root area) from the onion, soak in water for a day or two, it will reroot and can be planted into a pot (or soil), where it will regrow more onions.

By Hortica on Apr 29, 2024 2:43 PM, concerning plant: Sage (Salvia Mystic Spires Blue) Salvia 'Mystic Spires Blue' is a dwarf form of Salvia 'Indigo Spires' (a hybrid between two large Mexican sages, Salvia longispicata and Salvia farinacea). Salvia 'Mystic Spires Blue', comes out of the Ball FloraPlant breeding program and is an irradiation induced sport of 'Indigo Spires'. The cultivar was selected in August 2003 by Scott Trees at a test facility in Arroyo Grande, Calif. This cultivar is more compact because of shorter internodes, and also has smaller leaves than Salvia 'Indigo Spires'. [ | Reply to this comment ] |
By critterologist on Apr 29, 2024 2:40 PM, concerning plant: Strawberry (Fragaria x anassana 'Mara des Bois') I grew these years ago, splitting a set of $$$$ plants from White Flower Farms with a friend. Absolutely loved the flavor and fragrance, unlike any other non-alpine strawberry. Very excited to get plants from Nourse Farms this spring at a much more reasonable price per plant (even with their shipping, which is on the high side if you're just getting a few items). They are pushing new growth and looking good! Can't wait for a crop. They're an everbearing variety, small to medium size berries, and they do make runners (good if you want to propagate more!).

By CorabethGodsey on Apr 28, 2024 8:39 PM, concerning plant: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Mushroom Basket') I garden in South Dakota, zone 5a. This tomato is exceptionally early in my garden, always the first large tomato. It is always the largest as well. That said, I no longer grow it as the flavor is very bland to my palate. If this tomato had flavor, it would be a must grow every year. Always got clusters of large fruit a pound or more. Very heathy plant, never gave me a moment of worry. No BER.

By CorabethGodsey on Apr 28, 2024 8:27 PM, concerning plant: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Aunt Ruby's German Green') Aunt Ruby's German Green is a top five large tomato variety for me. The flavor is balanced, yet sweet and mild. The best version of the ripe green tomato varieties. As with many heirlooms, there may be a small amount of cat-facing, yet never excessive. Weight is generally around a pound. Not disease prone in my garden. Also not the most prolific, but still a good harvest for a larger heirloom variety. A mid to late season producer.
