I live in Ontario, zone 7a per the government. I am in an apartment, 17th floor south facing. I am tentatively planning to move my new baby to a 5-10gallon pot within the week in acidic soil. Any other tips or tricks to keep her alive?
Other than going to war with the birds of course!
It all started with the basil. Now look what you and all your pretty plant pictures have made me do! I have bought a tomato plant, planning to leave it in the patio pot/cage set up it came in. Unless you'd all highly recommend against it?
I will be purchasing a 12-16" pot and acidic potting soil from the nursery this week and moving the blueberries to a bigger home. I'm prepared to fight the birds. But am also aware I may lose the fight. Any blueberry tips for me? If it helps, I'm 17 stories up on a concrete balcony with a southern exposure in zone 7a (zone as per Canadian government).
I'm already thinking about adding some green leaf lettuce and maybe some a pickling cucumber plant. This is a dangerous hobby!
Two pots of grocery store basil planted in a 10" pot with generic Miracle Grow potting soil. It's still cold outside most of the time here in Ontario so it'll live inside for a while. I have a wall of south facing windows to park it in front of. I also have a black thumb of doom. I can kill anything, probably even a silk plant if given half a chance. Any tips or suggestions to keep her alive for months on end?
Edit: I have watched pruning videos to help it be more of a bushy plant. So I've pruned two or three stems just above the second or third node and had a delicious tomato and mozzarella salad for dinner
