I use photobucket. drag and drop photo's from sd card to photobucket. copy html for each picture you wish to post. open a free account with photobucket. People dont like to open each postimage as it opens on a new tab each time.

hasty22

no offense Jim we love your photos. lol

hasty22

I can see it ringing the doorbell , let me in its cold out here!! lol

Update Dec 06, 2013: It is cold outside down to -17 C tonight which is way below normal. Although most of North America is well below normal. It is nice to go into greenhouse where it is warm.I keep the greenhouse around 19C, I had trouble keeping humidity levels in check. I had humidity in the 70's...

Barb I got the goji berry from the flower spot on Okanagan landing road

hasty22

Thanks Barb and Adam. I am ready for the cooler weather, not saying I want the cooler weather, the heated huts seem to be plenty warm even with only 5 C9 lights per hut. Also Barb I have a goji berry plant I got berries first year but not last year. It is still alive and i do not cover over winter. ...

awesome palms. just watch the heat tape on ground looks like it might be crossing over. I had a issue with one overheating. Fried the palm

hasty22

Looks well protected Barb!! you have the heater in there again this year? I got all my palms plugged in today . I hope i added enough insulation and heat. time will tell.

hasty22

hi Barb if they are still doing fine in the spring I will bring a few by.

hasty22

Aaron is the best, sent me some dasylirion wheeleri seeds , they germinated great and now I have lots of them.

hasty22

Welcome. I live in a zone 5b as well, but in Canada. looking forward to see what you are growing!!

hasty22

I only had the one issue with heat tape.It was a different brand than the others I use but, I think I might have crossed the wires back over each other. not sure but results were devestating. It crispy fried a 4 foot trachy. I still use 2 heat tapes one on palm tree the other on big musa basjoo, I h...

awesome pictures!!! hope you had a good time!!!

"Keith, five C9 lights I'm guessing may not be enough.
In my Washy doubled 6ml vapor barrier teepees, I have two strings each ~20 lights.
1 or 2 inch Vent at the top."

Barb did you put any insulation around them or just the poly?

hasty22

Shipping out tomorrow. Anybody else interested.

hasty22

teebee I was wondering which thermocube you use TC-2 or TC-3? Since we are both in same zone. I ordered a TC-2 which is on at -6C off at -1C.

hasty22

Also with this wire you can adjust the height as well as the width of the ring. Then tie it together with zip ties

hasty22

I was going to try something new this year. I bought a roll of welded utility fence from HD. It is 48 inches high and a 50 ft roll for about $56. Instead of constructing boxes I thought this would be easier and maybe cheaper. It can be cut to any height or put 2 on top of each other to double the he...

hasty22

sounds good. let me know!

hasty22

Hey Mike you got alot of plants!!! But they look great good luck fitting them in house!

Hello I got about 15 sprouted seeds of Mexican Fan Palm Tree – Washingtonia robusta . I am willing to send to people wanting them. I got lots potted already( very good germination). I would prefer to send to people in Canada as trip would be faster. If you are interested pm me. I will pay the stamp.

Finally the Basjoo hit the soffits and still growing. Had a big wind storm up to 100 km/h shredded most of the leaves <a href="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/khasty22/media/DSCF3769_zps37f9b3cf.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/k...

Hello. Started to bring plants into greenhouse at end of September. Got alot of seedlings started over summer. I am also trying a vertical hydroponic system in greenhouse, should be up and running within a week. This is my first attempt at hydroponics. The pvc system will be mainly for lettuce, herb...

Hey Tim . what is the white wrapping around the hardware cloth is that just poly? Thanks
Keith

hasty22

Thanks Barb. Knew I could not fool you. Rose had to climb quite high to find some sun behind banana.

hasty22

My Musa Basjoo is finally flowering . Hope I get bananas soon!!! <a href="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/khasty22/media/DSCF3745_zps81252ca9.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/khasty22/DSCF3745_zps81252ca9.jpg" border="0...

Wow you get a lot of snow!! maybe that helps protect it as well.

hasty22

They are a cool looking tree . do you protect it during winter?

hasty22

went by to see her today she is doing fine. she is really busy. She even gave me a nice trachy. thanks Barb

hasty22

Hi guys. I started some Dasylirion wheeleri seeds 2 weeks ago. Thanks to Aaron for the seeds. I got 15 seedlings in beer cups already and the ziploc bag is still full. I run out of beer, beer cups and cactus soil. I hope they will survive. Barb said her seedlings died from the heat I believe a few y...

hasty22

Very Nice Barb!!
Keith

hasty22

Looks great Mike. I am hoping my Musa Basjoo will flower this year. It has not in the past but it is about 8 feet tall so far. The lack of sun so far has slowed growth. Did you get lots of sun this spring?

hasty22

Thats why I built a insulated greenhouse so hopefully I can garden 12 months of the year instead of just the summer months.

hasty22

Sorry Barb , Maybe if you know somebody with a new greenhouse you might have to give him more palms so he can overwinter them in his greenhouse. lol. The weather is calling for plus 24C this weekend sounds good to me.

hasty22

Hello update on greenhouse. We got the siding all done and painted. Trim is up. My brother got the soffit done on both sides today and started on the the front. This is great cause no bugs can get in now. I also got a new firepit cause old one rusted out at bottom. <a href="http://s1291.photobu...

Hey Mike looking good I loved that summer shot they are huge . It looks like you get a bit of wind as the leaves looked a little torn. My basjoo is in front of a east facing wall and is sheltered fairly well. I do not get a lot of wind in my area. I think your banana plant will do just great once th...

hasty22

Hey Mike mine are looking a little tattered since I took that picture we had a couple of frosts so had to cover them up. You should be frost free in zone 7 now. If you are frost free now just feed it some miracle grow and water and it should pick up once the heat hits. Can you post a picture? We all...

hasty22

Sorry for all the snow ( even though it is not my fault lol ) . Hope the weather improves quickly. One more question how do you guys get the weather sticker on your replies? thanks
