Those winter blues

18 years ago

Forum has been painfully slow lately so I thought I'd throw some pics out of what's currently going on in the greenhouse. We had some really beautiful weather last week and then the bottom fell out over the weekend. Cold and nasty...no snow but not a lot of sun either.

Many items are flushing growth and several have blooms and/or fruit developing. This is pretty nice when you are having issues accepting that winter is nearly upon us.

Late developing sugar apples. I've hard pruned the plant and there are blooms coming with the new growth. Didn't see that coming this late in the season.

Lemon guava just loaded with blooms right now and several fruit. I was quite surprised at how tasty the fruit is. Now if someone could just develop a seedless variety!

Miracle fruit still going strong. There have been nothing we've tried to date that have rivaled the taste of strawberries with miracle fruit. We go thru nearly a quart of them a night!

NamWah bananas. I look for another stalk to bloom soon. It's massive.

And after three years of blooming and never a single developing fruit, my Alano sapodilla finally has one, not two or ten or a dozen, but only one, tiny fruit developing. It actually looks as though it will hang in for the duration. I state the following with conviction: This had better taste damn good!

One of 3-4 bloom spikes of my Nam Doc Mai mango. Undergoing a fine flush and surprise of surprises, it decided to bloom for the very first time since planted in the greenhouse. The white substance you see on the mulch is diatomaceous earth.

Thai chili plant. Got to have some fresh heat for the good stuff!
