With the weather getting warmer I thought I'd continue last years thread on west-coast plants http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/off-topic/11831-palms-n-bananas-westcoast-nov.html really I was suprised how many people managed to grow huge tropical plants and trees in our temperate climate. We had several west coasters proudly showing off their results and I'm hoping some eastern Canadians chime in this year as well.
We had a pretty harsh winter this year and I know that rjbarker and I both had our s turned to mush dispite our efforts to shelter them over the long cold winter. I wasn't worried as I've had this happen a few times in the 7 years I've been growing this small grove. Sure enough all three grew back and a 4th baby sprouted up which was great.
Last year I challenged rj to a overclocking competition and I think I've got a good overclocking gameplan. Coffee grounds, seaweed, high nitrogen fetalizer spikes, peels and other clean compost round out my initial soil treatment and also a secret ingredient that I gleamed off the net.h34r:
Anywho...Here's some shots.
May 19th, before I added my soil treatment.
Just over 2 weeks and the tallest plant is 32 inches high now.
Let the games begin! :funky:
