I removed all the runners (the shoots you’re seeing), and al the smaller plants leaving only the largest plants with about 12-18 inches between each plant. The mature plants can produce well for 3-5 years, at which point I will let the runners grow and replace the older plants (after next summer for me). Did you buy the plant like that? When I bought mine I divided it right away into 10 plants, and removed the flowers the first year to force them to grow bigger roots first.
Here’s what I would recommend. Separate your runners. If they have roots already I would cut them from the mother and give them their own space. Next summer they will produce for you and don’t worry about removing the flowers. For the main mother plant: divide it as soon as it stops producing this summer.
Is yours a June bearing or ever bearing variety?
Hey from the Garden! We had to restart the site last night. Having some difficulties getting off the ground. I think we lost all our users! Were you one of them? Could I ask you to try there again and tell me if things are working okay, if you still are logged in, etc ? I Appreciate the help. Thegarden.land
nah sorry that's not peyote. cute though!
Yay! Nice job! Your page is blocked for me at work but I'll subscribe when I get home. Do you know, under the instance settings it says "allow instances" do I need to add anything there?
Same! I deleted my 10 year account. Kinda not even sad. It was going downhill for a while now. But hey I just created my own instance for gardeners called thegarden.land so now I have a new home to grow roots and thrive!
Okay great I was hoping that’s the case. I have just Rainer strawberries which are June bearers
Really? I don’t get that. I go to the ‘communities’ button at the top, where they are sorted by population, so it’s easy to find some good ones right away. If I want to search something specific I type it in the search bar and there it is. Is it not that way for you? That seems easy to me
I'm doing a much better job than I did last year. First- I have thinned out the plants to leave only the largest mature plants with plenty of space in between. I water only in the morning so that the surface is dry by night time when slugs come. I have also laid bark mulch (straw would be good too I think) which helps with slugs. Then finally I got some cheap bird netting from Amazon. So far we have only seen two berries with slug bites. Last year at least half had damage. If you or anyone else knows much about this I am trying to find out something: I want to cultivate the runners which will grow after the berries. Next summer, can I harvest from those runners or do I need to remove the flowers and wait until two summers from now to harvest berries from those runners?
Hey come on over to !woodworking@lemmy.ca we would love to see some of your work there
What I like about this place is that it has good vibes. Nice people, in a small community, happy to be together. So you can tell them I said that lol. IDK. People are coming. This place is growing by the minute. I don't know anything about making a viral marketing campaign but it couldn't hurt to tell people directly what you like about it here and then ask them to try.
These ones aren't mine but I just planted some from seeds I bought on Etsy. Did you know you can buy seeds on Etsy?
Ya here is some good info. The place to find them is Hagg Lake. Drive around the back side of the lake and there is a spot to pull over that has an informational sign about the butterfly, and that's where you can find several of these lupines and I'm sure you'll find the butterfly too. I believe they are still in bloom now. Good luck!
Do you really think you could fold it to the size of a pill though? I think that would be a hard pill to swallow.
Let's get some content!
If you’ve ever purchased potted plants or veggie starts, or opened a bag of commercial potting mix, you may have noticed tiny white balls in the soil that look like Styrofoam bits. These white balls are actually important soil components called perlite, and they’re not simply fillers or artificia
