A 1 gallon should be fine, bonsai style. Grow the mother then bend it over from the top, this will provide a load of main heads and you can maintain the size by doing it this way. I will then tend to pot up to a larger container if I am going to flower the mother.

Things are grand Jig bru. Hectic wind here yesterday so the poor azaleas are looking rather patchy and bare now:( Sunnyish today though, fingers crossed for the weekend, however by 5 oclock it should be clouded over, lol).

Thanks! I just need to keep them alive long enough to test some clones so I can pick the winners. There are also a number of excellent growers here who would be happy to adopt some of these plants when they are ready :)

Sorry to hear about the wind. I hope the sun keeps shining for you!


Here is a sunny shot from today:




Hopefully by Saturday my knee will be strong enough to start some foundation work on the greenhouse!


Cheers,
Mo

Various tom's from seed

Wind blown azaleas

What I have been busy sweeping up the last couple of days....


I moved the toms from seed in the greenhouse onto the ground as they were getting a slight burn from being so close to the roof of the greenhouse.


The tom clones looking in from outside.


Basil going to seed:)


Pumkin, couple more blooms. Last year a lot of these little pumpkins just rotted...lets see what happens this year.




Have a great one folks,

I know, Ninja it's like 2 weeks we have had those blooms for (or may be less). Ah well, at least we got to enjoy them, last year we where on holiday and came back and everything was gone bloom wise.....even more frustrating is sweeping the terrace up every 10 minutes, ffs. lol.

See out of the windows? what for? :)

D~ cucurbitaceae (the fam pumpkin is in) will abort any fruit not fully pollinated. You may have to do some handy work... not hard.


Everything looks great :-) too bad about the azaleas :-( better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Have a great weekend,,, have a nice pint for me!

Hey whodat, so I got to go out and jizz on them you mean? lol....wife gives me a funny stare while jizzing on pumpkins, :shock:. So take pollen from one flower to another, or do I need two pumpkins, ffs......wtf?
see my wife and her grand ideas, lets plant things that take 10 years to grow fruit, lets plant 100's of pumpkins that produce golf ball sized fruit...."aye, ok luv, lets do it" (totally under the thumb me!)

hahaha... D, I believe they make male and female flowers (i know this about watermelons so just guessing its the same) You will have to locate a male flower and pluck it off while is right and,,,, do it.
I hope you dont live near a school.... Would be a drag being on the sex offenders list, having to knock on every door in the neighborhood "hey its me D the sex offender, just had to let you know I live around you and your kids"


Mo, it was not necessary to jizz on the cherry toms.
Nice garden!

Mo, so you are mocking The Mocking Bird then? snore...:) Nice pics, thanks for sharing at the rooftop.

And whodat, already done mate, went out after the last post and there are two flowers just opened up, one with a big penis like thing in the middle covered in pollen, and the other with a bit of a....well vag looking thing going on, lol. Actually it's like a bud thats opened into 4, so more of a 4 legged vag thing going on:) Anyway, pollen transferred so lets see what happens. Directly after I had done it I went around the side of the greenhouse and a bee hovered past....get to work Mr Bee ffs, stop hoevering around looking stooopid!

I wonder if the pumpkins naturally produce two flowers together, a male and a female at the same time (random thought that he can't be bothered investigating with on google)....mmmmmn, ponder, pontificate, right, enough of that off to pub!
