Why do I like a Winter garden? The fantastic success of one flax bush (turns into fifteen!) gifted by our wonderful neighbour. And a little chat about some future plans.
Mavis and Mooriel bully Rooroo
Переглядів 714 роки тому
Mavis and Mooriel our two pregnant heifers normally love to be groomed. However they were a bit non-plussed when Rooroo followed John into the paddock and tried to help out. Rooroo is a Huntaway cross and it is in their nature to round up stock. The girls were having none of it, and Rooroo got a sharp reminder of who's boss from Mavis.

Quick update on my Phallys. I think I know now how to guarantee new blooms. Out of 31 plants I have 8 in spike , with 19 more coming. This is a first attempt at using my phone to do a video - hope it's not too shaky ...

    wondered why you took a cutting in January but I can see you are in New Zealand but sound british. so UK cuttings taken around August would you say? Thanks for the info.

    So, after the plants have rooted in that box, it will be nearing winter time, or? What happens then? Can they be repotted in larger pots and left through the winter outside in that same box or in a greenhouse? (I live in Norway and here we have a fairly long winter with short days from November through February). Theoretically I should do the cutting in July. Thanks for an interesting video, btw!

  • @cynthiaprewitt301
    @cynthiaprewitt301 Рік тому

    Soak your pot or just squirt some water on it before you drill and turn the drill bit at a 45゚ angle to start the hole before straightening. reate a groove that will prevent the drill bit from jumping around

    Hi. I tried growing them from seed and had about a 5% success rate. After a lot of research I discovered that the seed need light to sprout. I took a tray of damp seed raising mix and made "grooves" in it, about 6mm wide and 6mm deep. I spaced the seed about 5mm apart. DO NOT COVER the seed. Keep the seed raising mix damp. I got about 95% success rate.

    Soaking your unglazed pots in water for 24 hours before drilling, will make this process much easier, and you’re a lot less likely to crack the pot. If you have a glazed pot with no drainage holes, and the bottom of the pot is unglazed, you can use the same soaking method before drilling your drainage holes. If you can’t find diamond drill bits, masonry drill bits also work well on the soaked pots. Whichever drill bit you’re using, be careful not to apply too much pressure while drilling.

    If you put the pots into a tub of luke warm water for an hour or so, the drill will go through much easier. But then, before putting the fasteners in and fasten them, the pots should be dried all up again 🙏🏼
