Also some plant I can't remember the name of, but the flowers are white and trumpet shaped and last only one day. They look like the kind of flowers Gerogia O'Keefe use to paint. Muzza--I thought it was winter now where you live!! Are your winters mild? How can you be planting?What is a loquat? I know what a kumquat is. Are they similar?cool chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Aunty... we have some varieties of Cabbage and Cauliflower and lettuce which we plant in the winter and they mature late winter/early spring. Loquat is about the size of a plum, yellow, has a very big stone in it for the size of the fruit and has one of those flavours you either like or don't like. Flesh is white and soft.And I forgot Hydrangea on my list.And the temp outside at 3.00pm today was 42f.Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 We lost our Loquat,a little sapodilla tree, Key lime and orange trees in hurricane Katrina a couple years ago. Funny how you can become so attached to trees, I didn't cry about the roof but I cried about my trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool chick auntie Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Muzza;Thanks for the information.My hydrangea has been a pet project of mine. It started out as a gift plant from one of my sons for Mother's Day May 2004, and I was determined to keep it alive. I went online and got in touch with a lady who gave me lots of advice, and lo and behold! it is going to bloom now for the second year. It bloomed pink last year; it was blue when I got it. I can't remember what makes the difference. I think it has something to do with the Ph of the soil. Auntie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecstasy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yeah, Auntie, you're right about the ph. I *think* it's acidic (like limestone) to make it more blue and alkaline to make it more pink. If I'm not mistaken, it's something similar to that with Colorado Blue Spruces, too. I know pines need acidic soil but I think I remember hearing it made the Blue Spruces more blue.

julesberry Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Our hydrangeas are blue. (Right Kathy Lee, acidic)I absolutely Love this time of year.
