Hey Adam,
I got A. Dioica from you when I visited this past summer, as doing great until recently. Do you know if it is deciduous?  Lost a couple leaves and browned a few others when temps dropped into low 40s a few weeks back.

Hoping to see some green shoots soon.

Just looked at what I have. I got the following left:
1. Perforated - 7 rolls
2. Non-Perforated - 24 rolls. (Continuous Roll).

If you were waiting for confirmation, here it is. Those who have sent money, will be honored first on their choice.  I do not plan on ordering anymore so this is the last good chance to stock up.

PM me if interested with details. cost and how to pay is on the top of the thread.

Thanks

PM sent and paypal sent today. Thanks!
Keith

Never noticed similar reactions. Seems to have occurred on already established leaves and only on a few of them. I will take a few more images in the morning.
Thanks for the input.
Keith

Ps. It's not of all of the seedlings but about 1/2 of them.

I have several rollinia deliciosa seedlings that recently began developing these brown veins. Any guess as to the cause? I did notice it happened after a good dose of diluted fish oil fertilizer. Don't know if it's even related. Ideas?

Looks like it didn't cool off much more after 11pm. As os 6:25am got to a low of 38.7. Got a little lucky here. Not as bad as I feared. How'd you do down further south Carlos?

I'm in the same boat: I've been seeing 40 here in west central Broward and yet we're getting info of frost and freezing temps in homestead in south dade. I wonder if the lower than usual dew point is throwing everything. I imagine with a lowered humidity a simple push of more cool air can have temps spike down as it pushes out any remaining radiating heat.

I brought in everything in pots to be safe and just loosely covered my veggies. Stuck a few towesl around the base of a young Edward I planted.

Problem is that tomorrow looks to warm up a bit  but with temperatures similar to tonight for Saturday. I'm not lugging all that crap in and out again in 24 hours. Good luck to everyone!

Low of 45 here in SW Ranches - but it was quite windy for much of the night. Need to check the thermometer in the back of my property today to see how low the "cold spot" was in the unprotected area of my yard.
Keith

I second Mike's suggestion. Id recommend 1/2 overburden and 1/2 potting soil. Runs about $15/yard for overburden and $25-30 for their potting soil. $35 delivery for up to 14 yards or so.

Best mix if you are going to use both starts and seeds in the same bed.
Keith

Hi, Adam.
I thought I'd bump this thread to check up on these. Any status updates?
Thanks,
Keith

My yard wouldn't look the same without you, mike! Thanks and congrats.

I know quite a few of us are big on being environmentally friendly. I used to be organic, but as I started planting more exotic things and also have less time to pull weeds out by hand I have begun to lean on fertilizers and round up ready. I still don't use them heavily, but from time to time.

However, one thing that I have done, to help the natural environment around me is designate my pond and the area around it as a native only zone. Thus, I have planted lots of native plants and orchids which used to be common in my area, probably over 50 species by now.

So what I want to hear about and promote are things like this that help keep native plants and animals around, even as we manipulate the environment and introduce new species.

My native plant hammock, sink hole, and shallow pond is not only a beautiful addition to my yard, but has greatly increased the number of native birds and insects on my property. My next plan is to increase the amount of native flowering plants in hopes of attracting great numbers of native pollinators. But regardless of the benefits, I think we should all protect native plants in our gardens.

David:
I agree with what ou are doing and I am trying something similar. Granted I have an acre but I try to reconcile productive land with aesthetics, and in many cases achieve both. My yard had nothing when I bought it save on huge Australian pine (which will become firewood soon).

My current endeavor has me creating a wildflower "meadow" with a hugelculture  foundation. It should be about 500 square feet and I hope it will draw more wildlife s as well. I have found that going with shrubs has done more to bring in abundant wildlife than anything else. Had my first painted bunting visit my yard last year and I think it was, in large part due to my two naive shrub hammocks I planted.

I use no insecticides whatsoever and have very few pest outbreaks. I attribute that to my huge spider population and the flocks of ibis that love poking around my yard on a daily basis.

I find that while I enjoy my raised bed garden and my many fruit trees, the wildlife was relatively absent until I planted my natives.

Carlos and Karen, thanks for your level-headed, objective responses to my question. I'm sure that this information benefits the members of the forum in their decisions regarding this systemic. I for one applaud information when provided with civility without resort to condescension.
