Flower Fever....Anyone Else Suffering?

Hey Wavels, looking good!
You garden like I do, a little bit of everything. I love em all and can't decide what to put in, so I end up with em all.
I will have more pics soon, some more stuff ready to bloom this week.
Most of the things the bunnies ate came back and is blooming.
I saw a silly wabbit today it was small, (young), so I must set that trap tonight and get it before it eats more. I must have got the mother after she had these bastards. This will be the 3rd rabbit I caught now. My neighbour caught one too. Sure hope there aren't any more.
I have nice lillies, lavender, dianthus and tender perennials that they love.
I can't kill them so we set them free in the country. All I care is they are out of my gardens.

Yup, I am similarly afflicted....I still have some plants in tiny containers (started in late Feb) that I have not decided where to put yet!!!! Decisions, decisions!
I am in the process of cloning my favorite plants now, and then I do a second wave of plantings....
The only vermin in my area are the 150 lb rodents known as deer!
They have eaten all of my sunflowers (except one)....they have mangled a few other plants...and they have eaten some of my ganja seedlings in my secret gardens! (I have been too lazy to put deer netting fences up yet)

At least "silly wabbits" can't give you Lyme disease----the satanic deer harbor thriving populations of ticks! Ewwww!

Hey Wavels,
I found a great safe product to use on your plants for those deer and wabbits. It is called "Bitrex" (I think that is how it is spelled). Or there are other name brands. If you spray your plants and the surrounding area with it. The deer will take one taste and run. It apparently tastes aweful. I used this other one last year did the same thing but I forget what it was called. It works though. These are supposed to deter rabbits, deer, skunks, squirrels etc.
I must have forgetten about this, cause I sure haven't used it this year. I am trying to trap the rabbits in a live trap and set them free. I have caught a couple. I think I got the mother just after she had the babies, cause all I am seeing now are small little wabbits. Maybe if I let them go in the same area, they will all meet up. Wishful thinking.

These are my ulimate, favorite flower. The larger are a hybrid tea rose - Chicago Peace is the pinker, Peace is the lighter. The white one in the middle is an Iceburg Floribunda. I just love them, planning to have many more this year. I sure have the flower fever, tons of flowers in bloom in my gardens.

my advice comes at a cost, i need a roadtrip before i answer anything

so my sunflowers look great. they are growing inches a day. very healthy.




but everything else is growing sooooooooo slow. will i even see flowers?

some more

hate to say it those look tiny, let me grap a sunflower shot. it might take me a hour as i have to fire up the secure computer for pictures

they seem to be stuck on pause......

is that recycled soil

try kool bloom 0.10.10 they dont need much nitro, i let the worm casting do that

They are nice looking sun flowers. As for the rest, keep doing what you are doing. Some grow slower that others. When planting from the seed, check have far apart to sow them on the package they come in, as well as the height they will grow. This will give you an idea as to how small/large/wide/thin etc they can get. Those small ones may need to grow in a clump or closer together. Good job though.

be back with pictures later i have a lot of clonening and transplanting this morning after my shower

i've been keeping them really moist because of the weather, 100 degrees last week. should i back off on watering?

all my plants get a good salt bath with used soil. i have about 4 yards of old FF soil salted and used up. i will wholesale by the bag!


here is one of the heads on my sun flower

stop, i'm gonna cry. my soil is new outta the bag.

I use purchased soil all the time. Last year I had a truck dump that same stuff. I use bag soil too fdd, no worries.

i just hope i get flowers by fall.
