The Dark Garden: Why?

| You got to ask yourself why do I go thru this every year. Every year the moving plants back and forth from outside gardens to inside gardens. This year it's worse because I've decided to go back to my "roots" in tropical gardening. Now there has been changes to my home enviroment main one being I'm not alone in here anymore and have been out voted on the heat thing. Temps here will be no lower than 65 so having plants go dormant by temp is out. So I'll have plenty of work to do. (banana's) Also I'm growing four different types of bio-fuel sugar cane, Barbados nut, Carol tree and one other. Then there's the vegetable gardens,etc,etc. So it looks just like the picture...very busy.

| What are you complaining about. Don't you know that humans were put on this earth because the plants need the CO2? You signed up for all that trouble the first time you brought home a Philodendron. What I want to know is what are your going to do when that coconug palm in the picture gets to be ten feet tall? ;) jack |

| Well there are ways to slow growth in palms. Topping them will basicly kill them. There's only one palm that I've ever grown that branches after topping and that's an Ivory palm. That seed was the size of my fist and felt like a rock. It took 18 months to germinate and one day before I was going to give up on it. As for the CO2 I enjoy sitting, standing and dancing in the various gardens just because of the air. |

 Remember this picture? I said that’s how much water my method takes daily. Well due to a lucky accident I found how to make even that last 5x longer with a simple adjustment. No I didn’t change anything. It wasn’t even something I thought. I just happen to notice it when I was watering. It works with the Waterfall Interchange Garden Pods. Remember the 80% evaporation theory. If I can repeat that next year I’ll be talking CC’s instead of ounces. And no it’s not magic but another condition of the material it’s made from.
Ahh the things I see
that makes my mind dance with glee
for the things I’ll bring to be Yes I’m smiling because I have floating hangers with no strings attached. Let me dance here a minute for how good I feel. It’s that New Age stuff. You know Enya, Yanni and Sara too.
Rhyme and reason
of the season
as clouds pass by
watching the gardens die
yet in my mind the garden blooms
while cold days bring it’s doom
Collards are still there
waiting for the sweetness of the chilly air
but the death of the garden
is what we go thru
to renew
the dream of flowers
just for a few hours |
