Hi Lady G! Quick drive by to send my wishes of love to you in the aftermath of the cascade of challenges that was m’s day being followed the work fiasco which you navigated so very admirably. Man, the world is pretty f’kin wierd sometimes eh!!
Yay for pots that stop root rot! What are they called - these special pots? I thought it looked like you’d just upturned a cup at the bottom of the pot (which I thot was pretty cool btw)... but it seems like the pot is made that way...?
I again have a PM to you G that I’ve been writing for 3days. It’ll come soon... I’m slowly rising a bit from my recent flare/crash, I can walk again (albeit very slowly and carefully) and my thinking brain is coming back slowly... and slowly making my way to the indoor grow preparations. All the plans are made and drawn, next come the ordering of things and the making. So my mind is scheming now about who I get to do the physical stuff for me...
Not such a quick drive by! Think that’s the most I’ve written in one go since more than a week ago... yay!
*Just one blindside after another, this world hasn't been so nice to me lately. Yet I move on. But it's always so so so good to hear from you. I'm glad you're getting rest, well kinda, more like nursing yourself. I hope it's a good email, I can't take much bad news anymore.
*The pots are called self watering, you can look them up on Amazon, but they don't have the wick version. So I customized my pots to do selfwatering wicky wick style. Like scratching on vinyl but not as cool. hahahaha.
I know we were all there in spirit giving you our undivided attention and pride. The end of one chapter is the start of another. You rock!
*Thanks @DrDoob - at least it was still tech stuff, easy to teach. I'm glad you were there,
I sure will. Lovely Lady
*YAAAAAY I love learning.
Evidently he still sees something in you, be proud of that.
*Thanks PW, he is such a great guy, you can't blame him for the mistake, plus he has good taste in workshop instructors, gotta give him that.
This is the Owari Satsuma
They are very challenging to grow. They don't like any over watering at all. When you first get it, you have to water it into the soil by drenching the pot 2 to 3 times the first week, then 1 to 2 times the second week, followed by a deep watering once a week if it does not rain. As you can see, even though you have to water it like that in the beginning the tree still doesn't like it as evidenced by mine getting pissed off with yellow leaves.
The pot has a wide top to allow the feeder roots to spread out across the surface. You can see that mine has finally started growing new leaves.
I also have another of those pots with 3 different types of blueberries growing in it. Blueberries like acidic soil with a PH of only 4.5 to 5.0 YIKES!
*So beautiful @RETRIX - I do love that you shared that. You will pick up growing really fast considering you already grow tree's. Thank you kindly, that was a very special post. BTW, looove your diy strawberry pots idea, gosh you're so clever my friend. REPS
