habaneros!

Are you standing because of the "hot ones", you had the day before? :lol:

yes, the one's that burn at both ends...

gosh, i miss my garden so much it hurts! this will be my 2nd year without one (i'm in a disgusting rental) and i think i feel more of a lack of identity because of it than i do because of my divorce! (geez, that would be a whole 'nother thread, huh). but anywhoo...my all-time faves are:
--old flame tomato, red with yellow/orange stripes and intense tomato flavor
--sungold cherry tomato, little orange beauties so sweet even my tomato-gagging son ate them right out of the garden
--silver and golden queen sweet corn, yes, i know -SO overdone- but just performed so well and tasted so good
--red oakleaf lettuce, i don't know if the taste was all that great, but i had such good luck with it

i think i've tried everything under the sun (other than okra, cuz...ucky).
this year i'll have to try things in pots again. does anybody have any recommendations for tasty tomatoes, beans, or other garden goodies? i sucked at that game last year.:headshake

I've had nothing but bad luck growing things in pots... other than houseplants and herbs.. but michigan bulb company has some good deals on strawberries/golden raspberries and blueberries that are made to grow in pots.. check the website out, they are a good company.. and the lifetime guarantee is toot-sweet

i've never ordered from them cuz a few years ago they were voted "absolute worst" in quality of plants and customer service along with springhill nursery on some gardening forum i stumbled onto. but...not everyone had a bad experience, just most people. the thing is, for the price, maybe what you get is what you should expect. like shopping at wally-world compared to saks. have you tried any of their fruits or veggies? i'd at least like tomatoes and green beans!:yum:

I have 23 maters. 8 better bush, 1 grape, 1 cherry sweet 100, some marion, celebirty and arkansas traveler.
3 cayenne, 3 habanero, 3 jalapeno. 3 black beauty eggplants, 3 ichidan.
12 cucumbers and 40 ft. of LA. purple pod beans.
No rain here in 2 weeks and none in forcast. Hello water and sewer bill.
This one tells me that server is busy, forget it. :smack:

Tomatoes in front, broccoli in back. It seems warm but the last frost danger is still two weeks away.

Our spring is late this year - this is the first weekend without a frost. Mrs CF is getting ready to pot sow her tomatoes only now. Our Star Magnolia is finally out in bloom - will try to get a photo when it reaches its peak. Still alot more to flower - Cherry blossom a long way off, Camelias just coming out along with Forsythia.

PS - you've no time for gardening, UT, what with all them rock bands to sort out and all....

The pics of the Star Magnolia - a little way to go, but not far off best as some of the existing blooms will disappear as others open, now - one picture from each side:

.

Today's picture is certainly showing even more flowers (plus opportunity to try out the new camera!):

.

CF - oh my gosh that is so beautiful!!! Do the flowers have any scent?

them is pirty pics, cylefrance....


But Im with warch: habeneros

(although I like the low maintance stuff: impatients, perry winkles, boston ferns, snap dragons, mexican heather, honeysuckle vines, wondering jews, mexican sage, dewberry vines, grapevines, weeds, sun flowers, xtra large elephant ears, popcorn trees, and some half dozen things i got at walmart, I forget their names... )

Know what you mean Tiddy, but Have to leave that to Mrs CF - she's the expert there (put herself through an RHS cours as well) - me, I'm more likely to finish them off if I get near plants. My gardening is limited to mowing the lawn, chopping up logs, any heavy pruning that's needed, and erecting any structures that Mrs CF wants - oh, and, of course, managing the bonfires!

AhhhHUMMMMMM Mr Cycle:


"erecting any structures that Mrs CF wants - oh, and, of course, managing the bonfires!"


Now where might those pics be, please?


You can trust me, I wouldn't be a posting those pics where the 989 guests might be observing the erectal of the day images.
