Sweetie... it doesn't sound like there'll be anything green in your garden.... I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

I go between Seasole and Thrive for most things. Then hit the garden with chook poo, horse poo, or complete garden food. Nothing wrong with my gardens.

Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 28Dec 01, 2008 11:31 pm Oh Michelle, liquid fertilisers are so bad for our environment! It would be like throw a heap of marbles in the air and being told to grab them. You'd be lucky to grab a few. That is how the plants roots work when getting liquid fertilisers from the soil. I have heard rumours they may be phased out in coming years.
It isn't a fern! That is a sapling and I think it is an Albizia. If not, a leopard tree or Jacaranda. Can't be a poinciana in Melbourne. I recon Albizia which is an amazing beautiful tree with whispy pink flowers. Excellent shade tree and would make an excellent feature tree. There are lots in greece. Grow well in Southern Australia too It will be a good size tree Albizia Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The first is a rose, just dig it up but prune it like you would in winter first. The second is also a rose but it maybe the rootstock only, which for you guys would be "doctor huey" Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 29Dec 01, 2008 11:40 pm Oh and don't forget the seasol!
It is so good for the roots of plants and the cells of the plants. It also most importantly helps plants deal with stress. Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 30Dec 02, 2008 7:35 am Thanks so much Fu. So the non-fern can stay? we were justr talking about what trees to plant last night. I might move him to the front garden too.
The roses are growing along a fence which is going to be replaced soon. Should I move them now, or just ask the fence man to be careful?? I'm a bit reluctant to move the struggler while it's struggling? No clues what the pink one is, anyone? Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 31Dec 02, 2008 9:30 am It is very hard to tell from the pic.
can you cut a section off and get a better pic? Are the leafs or stems furry? if yes that one is a weed. crush the leaf in your fingers and see if it smells like celery or parsley. I suspect it won't which would indicate it maybe a local weed. Do the stems have a soft structure to them like parsley does? Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 32Dec 02, 2008 1:25 pm thanks Fu, I will do that with the one that looks like parsley. But I actually meant this one:
Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ on a visit this morning I noticed it now has another yellow bloom right next to the pink one. Looks pretty! Also, the struggling rose is looking healthier already! will still get some seasol for it though. Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 33Dec 02, 2008 9:30 pm that is the one I thought was rose root stock. It does look to be coming from those other flower clusters in bud behind? Is that right? I can't make out the leaf?
I still think it is doc huey root stock?... I think If it is when the flowers are spent a rose hip will form. Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 34Dec 03, 2008 7:58 am Sorry Fu have just read back and seen that you had already commented on that one. Not sure where it is coming from. But will transplant him too and see what happens!
Root stock, doc huey, rose hip all this new terminology for me to learn! Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 35Dec 03, 2008 8:37 pm I found two more roses today!!! Now I have one for each side of the bay window, and one for somewhere else. Here are both of them, big one on the left with little one next to it

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And the struggling rose looking much better now it isn't being squashed by fence paling Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 36Dec 03, 2008 11:25 pm It's either the doctor huey rootstock or a flower carpet rose (a ground cover rose). either way it's a rose.
The root stock of a rose is the bit that they stick your type of flower onto to grow it but not have it dye in a few weeks like say you like "double delight" very fragrant and lovely colour. That will be grafted onto some ugly rose that is very disease resistant. the double delight grows and the root stock supplies the goodies to do it. (look for a wound or scar low down on the rose) In the eastern states, doctor huey is the most common root stock chosen to be host to the rose variety like say double delight. Here in WA that root stock is not very resistant to the many soil bound fungal diseases and conditions so we use "Fortuniana". They stick the double delight onto a fortuniana root stock. That is why bagged roses do so average with short life spans here in WA and so do the cheap ones bought in nurseries here. The rose hip is the fruit the rose produces after the flower. The base of the flower swells and grows. It can look like a very small apple. In fact roses are related to apples and if you cut a good sized rose hip in half you will see the seed pattern is like that of an apples seed pattern clip of the dead flowers and the hips to get better flower from the rose. oh and remember, always feed the soil and never feed the plant Re: Plants I found at the house...sad update 37Dec 04, 2008 7:46 am thanks for the explanations Fu. Sounds like the berries on the struggling one might be rose hips? Maybe it is a rootstock one too.
