Trailing vegetables and update on previous experiments

Today I began an experiment. I have a bunch of those coir lined hanging baskets. I planted green peas in them.  Would like to see if they do as well trailing down as they do growing up a trellis.

Update on the avocado seed experiment from my previous post. Using the water beads was an utter failure. Not sure why but the seeds never made roots. I have rooted many avocados using the toothpick method and also from just floating in water. Perhaps some chemical in those water beads prevented it from working.

Update on strawberry ball. It was great! Looked beautiful and produced many berries. However, being afraid of keeping the strawberry plants through Winter I planted them in the ground last fall in a little raised bed. They seem happy there and have even made baby plants.

New plants plus an update on the Strawberry Ball

I love geraniums and last weekend my husband got me this new one. It is called Fantasy Candy Kiss. It is so beautiful! The petals look as if they were painted with watercolors.



We also picked up some peppermint. He wanted to plant it with our spearmint but I would not let him. It will go in my kitchen herb garden.



The strawberry ball I made has been doing wonderfully. It keeps making new blooms, the plants are growing and there are strawberries forming!
