I am never sure when the caladiums will come up again either - they seem to have a dormant season for me. Yes I am looking forward to the asparagus.<br />Giga, thank you yes I am blessed to live here.<br />Karen,<br />thank you, but I am envious of your lovely space! and your urns :)<br />Laura,<br />I am always anxious to begin to use that space for other things though! I am beginning to like the permaculture look more and more.<br />Desiree, You are so kind. I put the shade cloth up to give me some respite from the sun as well as the plants :) It means I can spend longer out there pottering around.<br />Ami,<br />I find the anthirium like very regular watering and foliar feeding with seaweed tea. The amaryllis that are flowering now have no leaves - they have all died off, (I didn't cut them off) but I would wait until spring to cut them, you need the leaves to feed the bulb. they can look very messy with their leaves flopping all over the place. My hubby recently said he didn't like them, but he does now they have flowered LOL!africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-55935052253045866752011-09-22T02:38:30.166+10:002011-09-22T02:38:30.166+10:00Love your purple anthurium!

I put it in a container and in a bright shade, no direct sun. Any tips for taking care of anthurium?<br /><br />Your Amaryllis are so beautiful. I also have the same kind as yours. the leaves are growing tall and leaning down. Should I cut the leaves to prepare for its blooming in our spring?<br /><br />Sorry for all the questions :)Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-11983623131392558802011-09-22T02:17:25.987+10:002011-09-22T02:17:25.987+10:00I always love visiting your garden!

Your veggie garden always looks good to me, even when you think it's messy :) To me, it looks like a healthy, permaculture garden and I'm green with envy, since I am only able to have a few herbs and salad leaves in pots in my garden. There just isn't enough sun. Your shade cover is a great idea and looks quite pleasant. Not at all obtrusive or 'messy' as some can be!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-43999832634748237422011-09-21T17:05:10.963+10:002011-09-21T17:05:10.963+10:00I disagree that letting things go to seed makes a ...I disagree that letting things go to seed makes a garden look messy. I used to feel that way until I grew my own veggies. Funny how our eyes change as time goes on. Anyway, I've had beds full of rocket in seed and from my house it looks like I've intentionally planted a field of white flowers. (Okay, up close they've all fallen down but still, they look pretty.)<br /><br />Don't begrudge a bit of mess that is just one more aspect of nature's beauty!Laurahttp://laurarittenhouse.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-53109948321106640632011-09-21T13:43:46.578+10:002011-09-21T13:43:46.578+10:00What a lot of gorgeous blooms in your garden, so m...What a lot of gorgeous blooms in your garden, so many the likes of which I could never grow even if I tried. The orchids are stunning and so are the caladiums. I think the shade cloth is a wonderful idea, I use shade cloth in the spring in my greenhouse to shade the tender annuals as they sprout and grow on. Lovely, lovely garden!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-61425535193480651752011-09-21T10:00:29.743+10:002011-09-21T10:00:29.743+10:00Jak to przyjemnie oglądać w ogrodzie kwiaty, które...Jak to przyjemnie oglądać w ogrodzie kwiaty, które rosną u nas tylko w doniczkach w domu.

I've even moved them, re-potted them and given them a stern warning ... all to no avail! <br /><br />Love your purple Anthurium and that new Caladium is a beauty. I, like you, would love to have loads of Caladiums in my garden but they are very difficult to find and when you do find them, they're horribly expensive!! Lucky you for getting a pass-along. <br /><br />All is looking well in the vegie patch and it sounds as if you'll be enjoying fresh asparagus very soon.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.com
