枫下沙龙 / 花鸟虫鱼 / A few pictures of the flowers I planted... -apuma(apuma); 2005-10-30 {409} (#2580515@0)
Crabapple: Cranberry: Cosmos: Cosmos flower bud:

For annuals like poppy, morning glory, cosmos, I just buy the seeds (CT, WalWart, HomeDepot, nerseries, etc). -apuma(apuma); 2005-10-30 {199} (#2580621@0)
For the perennials, I got them mostly from CT which is cheaper ($1-$2 each); they'll grow up quickly anyways. The columbine is perennial, we started them from seeds too; the first yr has no flower.

where you buy Diathus, I love this flower! Is this anual or perennial -xinjiangmm(mm); 2005-10-31 (#2582065@0)
Where is CT. What is full name of this store? BTW, like your flower work very much... -lobu(lobu); 2005-10-31 (#2582093@0)
I bought them from CanadianTire, or Lobaw (in Spring). Pls note that when you buy them, they are very small with just 1 or 2 stems. There's a pic label in each pot to show you how it look like. -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-1 {112} (#2583576@0)
They will grow up very quickly. These are perennials and so each year they get bigger and produce tons of seeds.

It's the easiest one: just leave a few when you eat one (yes, they will grow). -apuma(apuma); 2005-10-30 (#2581083@0)

请问apuma关于贴图 -cleaner(八连长); 2005-11-1 {94} (#2584260@0)
我试着贴yahoo相册里的图但不能显示，比较一下好象引用的地址和你的有些不同。有什么方法吗？谢谢。

报告连长, 您应光顾一下: http://www.photoegg.com/photos/ Yahoo don't allow you to link the pic. Also, pay attention to who the admin is once you get there ;-) -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-2 (#2585345@0)

No, it's a bush (like blue berry, raspberry...) and I'm sure can't grow in water. -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-2 (#2585346@0)
And yes it's the same as what you can buy from the stores and they test the same (very sour) :-) It may grow to as high as 10 feet. Mine is now 7 feet high. -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-2 (#2585347@0)

Hi Apuma, there is a kind of brush with very red leaves which looks very nice now, do you know the name of it? -xinjiangmm(mm); 2005-11-2 {213} (#2586154@0)
I believe in summer it's just as green as all other kinds, but turns to red in Fall. I've seen a lot along the rode, wondering where can I buy one to plant in my front or back yard. I love the red color badly.

I know what you mean... you must be talking about the "Burning Bush" (they call it this name; Google ). You can buy them in Spring. Or, you can collect seeds from the bush. -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-2 (#2586493@0)

Thanks Apuma, shall I collect the seed now? When should I put the seed into the soil? Is it easy to take care of them? -xinjiangmm(mm); 2005-11-3 (#2586996@0)

Yes you can collect now otherwise you have to find them on the ground...I just put them into fridge, and into a flower pot in Spring. I didn't plant any in the yard, 'cause I've no more place :--( -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-3 (#2587255@0)

What does the seed look like, does it grow fast in Spring? If all flower seeds need to be stored in fridge -- frozen or un-frozen part? Sorry for so many stupid questions. :) -xinjiangmm(mm); 2005-11-3 (#2587389@0)

It's red. You'll see if you get to the bush. You can dry it and then store it anywhere, or put it into 4 degree fridge. I don't know much; just read somewhere saying that the seeds of some plant (trees, bushes) -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-3 {511} (#2587955@0)
need to be put in a cold place for at least 2 months before you can plant them (just like what it'll go through in winter in nature). Especially for Japanese maple seeds. I collected over a hundreds of them 2 yrs ago, but even after storing them in fridge for over 3 months, only 4 germinate and they all die one way or another (the last one died because I was out on vacation). I ended up spent $200 to buy a 5 feet one; it's hard and too slow to go from seeds for trees. But for the bushes, it should be ok.

It's so nice of you always try help people like me (w/o knowlege at all in gardening)! Have you ever tried to plant this burning bush from seed? -xinjiangmm(mm); 2005-11-3 {219} (#2588099@0)
If yes, would you pls. share your experience w/ me, if not, I may buy one in Spring and see what will happen.

However, I someday want to try plant a big thing from seeds. That would be a great test on my patient. :)

Yes I did once and they grow very well in the pot. I've no place in the yard for them though. I also collected a few seeds of the 银杏from Edwards Garden; One of them still growing in the yard(1.5ft now). -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-3 (#2588503@0)

Thanks Apuma, I'm going to collect some seeds either today or tomorrow. Then put them in fridge. One more requirement :)) Would you mind post several pictures of your burning bush & 银杏? -xinjiangmm(mm); 2005-11-4 (#2589723@0)

真羡慕你的garden. 要是你住我家傍边就好了,偷偷的溜到你的花园采点种子. -qq0785(花椒); 2005-11-3 {213} (#2587413@0)
google了一下, 好像你的那种叫highbush cranberry. 超市里卖的是这种: http://www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Vaccinium/b0693tx.html
叶子不一样. just FYI.
cranberry 做果酱很好吃啊.有没有试过?

I just had a glimpse of the package my wife bought a few weeks ago and thought it's the same as what we have...mistake. The jam taste great. Thx for the info (never know there're 2 kinds). -apuma(apuma); 2005-11-3 (#2587958@0)
