So many buds so many aborts
Never had this many buds and aborts I guess it’s normal? 🤙🏻🤣
2 blooms and some fixing
Had to support one stem, weight of the flowers bent it over, hopefully it fruits 🤙🏻🍻
Caterpillars
They are in my Brussels sprouts. Very small guys. But they are growing! I did see a butterfly in my bozu earlier this month or last so I'm hoping they're more of those. This is kinda what I planted the Brussels sprouts for. Hopefully the mynah birds don't see them. They're getting a little rotund. Do you think that droplet with green balls in it is caterpillar poop? Anyway, I'm looking forward to a few Brussels sprouts to harvest if these guys are polite and do not eat the terminal buds.like I know they're yummy for the critters but a girl can hope.
UPDATE!
Hey guys it worked ! I don’t know how to tag my old post, I had a bunch of cut ti stalks and I didn’t know which end was up. And you guys told me to lay it horizontally and look! So excited! But when do I transfer to individual pot? Also I kinda can tell which side is up do I plant it vertically or leave it as is I mean same way? I don’t have any idea how the roots are, how long should I wait to put them in individual pots? Thanks in advance.
My mangoes in Kihei are pretty bad this go-around. What malady is this?
My two big mango trees in Kihei have always seemed to thrive on neglect.
This go-around they are mostly dropping before they are ripe, and the few yellow ones I do pick tend to have dark gross parts inside.
Most fruits are speckled, but the leaves look good to me.
Is this a malady to be concerned over?
DF going off this season in Hawaii
Got so many flower buds, some are aborting🤙🏻🍻
My first Sin Espiñas flower! Gotta love dragon fruit, especially the self fertile varieties. 🤙🏾
It's my first one from this variety and I'm excited to catch this bloom. I'm just excited to be here, not gonna lie. I saw her opening up earlier in the night and grabbed a picture. Insomnia did it's thing on me, do I'm up like it's the first day of school with my told ready to pollinate and take the pollen from this beauty. Oahu, Hawaii 🤙🏾
Resources on how to build kalo wetlands
Finally managed to grow a decent kalo. A whopping 2.5 feet tall.
Thinking of expanding and making a larger patch. But... how to do it?
As far as I can tell, kalo patches are normally made near streams and rivers which are diverted.
Could a similar effect be had by laying a plastic liner on ground, covering with soil, angling to drain @ a slow rate? Is there anyone that makes kalo patches in areas without rivers / streams? Not looking to hire anyone. Only curious on how it might be done.
Something is eating my bell peppers
Does anyone know what kind of pest has been eating my bell peppers? This doesn’t show up until the peppers are almost ready to be picked. I’m on Oahu. Thanks!
Growing Bougainville on the windward side
I know they need dry soil, but I see them occasionally near Hilo and I miss having them. How dry is dry, when talking about bougainvillea? Can I place it on a slope? In a raised bed with more cinder than soil? What’s the secret to growing leeward plants on the windward side?
Been nursing a ti leaf plant cutting trying to propogate, advice?
hello, I have been nursing this Ti Leaf plant cutting in water for about 45 days. ive been laying it sort of 'hot dog' style on its side in a small dish covered about halfway with water and changing the water every 3-4 days. there are small shoots starting to emerge. the ends had been dipped in parafin wax i think which is also starting to come off.
a few questions...how do i know which end is 'up' for planting purposes? or does it get planted horozontal? When will it be 'ready' to plant in soil. Do i wait for some of these shoots to be longer? or is it ready now? what conditions are optimal for it? right now its been kept indoors in relative 72 degree room away from sunlight and heat in a room temperature dish of water. i have a full rack of plants/grow lights near the window and various size pots for it when its ready, as well as a high sun balcony with outdoor temps ranging 60-80 degrees currently.
What are these plants?
Can someone tell me about these plants growing in my yard?
Storm leaves local farmers struggling and fewer veggies at the market: Officials are pleading with farmers not to give up, stressing that local agriculture is crucial for the isolated archipelago.
hawaiipublicradio.orgPalora and Arias tonight in Hawai'i
I pollinated the Palora and the Arias flowers with one another tonight. Trying to salvage what's left after they fell over after a flash flood yesterday in Hawai'i. Here's hoping I get great fruit from it 🤙🏾
Small scale but those winds knocked over a few trees in my yard and destroyed my dragon fruit. Guess I'll have clippings sooner than later. 20+ buds severed and plenty more damaged. I need a drink
Sin Espiñaz bud and it's protector.
Mo'o and his plant helping to keep the thrips and ants away.
*Sin Espiñas (no thorns)
The city has again delayed fencing for the Oahu Community Garden that has been the target of vandals and thieves. The gardeners said it’s more than just a frustration, it’s a safety and security problem, especially for the mostly kupuna who tend to the land.
khon2.comWhat is this thorny plant with a flower Spike like an amaranth, in my cosmos pot? Also there is another plant in there too that I would like help identifying.
Hey everybody. I have been planting flowers since this past winter and in a few of the pots there are a few new plants that I don't actually know. I grow almost everything from seed, so it's even more strange to me. Anyway, a few of these plants have very small flowers and I'd like to figure out what they are. I'm concerned they might be weedy. I will see if I can add multiple pictures in an edit. Reddit does not seem to like me today. Edited to add: four other photos
