It looks like mine in pots are running 2+ inches smaller, and using fish emulsion--what are you using? I have Olga's Golden Gate that show promise of developing a large leaf as it matures---mine i13". It's definitely gold, and is starting to corrugate nicely...... Being in pots I can have more of th...

I have no idea....LOL...it wasn't on purpose! It just did its thing! I went out and looked and there was this HUGE pod on it (they're LOOOOONG). Then another...and another. They were all on the same plant. . I've never gotten a pod on Plantagnea (sp) but I was reading about the giant pod--like 100+...

Not much for bee activity here, :???: seems like if I don't do it, it isn't getting done. But pods are showing up so my efforts are paying off. :D Do you know I've only seen one, maybe two bees so far? Only bumble bees, and not really many of those either. A lot of blossoms falling off, or I'm gett...

EARWIG POLLEN-EATING ORGY
Excuse if you've seen this post---I think it got et up. Last night at midnight, I checked the hostas I had brought into the kitchen, and found and offed eight (8) earwigs!---they had crawled up and each one had taken over their own blossom like their own hotel room that was due to open the next day....

I used some frozen pollen from last year on my first seedling to bloom under lights, and it made a pod. I'm having a rough time getting pollen this year too, so I brought in my pollen parent in the kitchen, too. I think that it's earwigs that eat the pollen at night...... Does F2 mean 2nd generation...

Cutting up an old potato?
I removed the potato part of an Iris that bloomed this season, and cut the potato part up in 4 pieces, then semi-planted the chunks somewhere else.
If those were really potato, I'd get new potatoes. Will those iris chunks sprout?

I've been doing it that way for a couple of years, and I have them fooled into thinking a cold front just passed thru, and they don't do anything. Having them at waist-level and not having to get up at O-Dark-Thirty to beat the bees is nice, and to say nothing of trying to put on a tag with a breeze...

No, not a lot, but what I did have were hungry. This year I didn't kill them, but threw them. I am having almost no visits by honey bees, just bumbles. I had only one exquisite Monarch Butterfly come thru. I don't know what the cutworm graduate to, but until I do, I'll just toss them somewhere else....

HOW LONG DOES A STREAKER MAKE STREAK BABIES?
How long should one expect to have a hosta like Galaxy be unstable and able to give you streaked seedlings? This year I've had a couple of my streaked pod parents "find their edge". I was eyeing a $$$ Galaxy, and it looked good, but what if if next spring it decided to not streak anymore? Any experi...
