Pretty tree but very messy. Was next to my concrete driveway and those berries would mess up my car and driveway. Very susceptible to branches splitting off as they mature ruining their look. I have noticed this spring in some grassland type fields a lot of younger BP trees seem to have popped up. Easy to pick out when flowering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 I haven't been the best plant parent this spring. I let things get a little dry early on and I think it hurt some of my seeds, now I think I've been watering too much and the leaves are turning a little yellow. I really need to get it together! Hoping to start setting them outside a little at a time this coming week, and going to try to plant the following weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Chance of low temp around 40 for Friday this week here in Indy. I'm thinking this week or weekend is time to transfer tomato/pepper plants from inside to pots. Anyone else already transfer to pots or ground here in the Midwest?

I did see some Amish around Shipshe had tomato/pepper plants in the ground on Thursday afternoon. Went back by early Friday morn to see them covered with big glass jars of some sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Ok Gang. Is Basil as easy as it sounds? I just picked up a few and basically they said transfer plant into pot. When a flower appears pinch it so it continues to grow and when pruning you go 1/4 inch above what they call the node? Will it keep producing all summer? Also...any hibiscus growers on here? Any advice or tips? Decided to hold off on transferring tomato/pepper plants until next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no problems with Basil. Grows really well and as long as you keep the flowers(bolts) picked will grow all season. My only problem is I cant eat it fast enough! I will be putting the rest of mine in after it stops raining next week whatever day that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
