What are you growing in your garden?

[Stonehenge]

Here are some of the plants I'm growing at the moment. What are some of yours?

Kratom
B. caapi
Poppies
San pedro
T. peruvianus
Hoodia gordonii
T bridgesii
Mimosa hostilis
rosea rhodiola
Lagochilius
Tabernaemontana P.
Pereskiopsis
Sceletium
D. bosseranum
Alternathera lehmanii
Kava

My camera is broke so until I get around to buying a new one, I'll have to settle for old photos. Do we have uploading here yet?

I uploaded an old pic of one of my kratom trees into the gallery in case anyone wants to look at it. Not the greatest photo but gives you some idea.

My garden is quite embarassing right now -- I've let it dwindle and have had very little time to devote to it

S. divinorum, cultivar "luna"
H. salicifolia
P. viridis
B. caapi
T. pachanio
T. peruvians
Calea zacatechichi

And that's about it. A sorry state of affairs, when one considers that two years ago I had a small greenhouse briming with plants.

hawaiian babywoodrose
hawaiian woodrose
brugmansia
various numerous Trichocereus species

I have killed the following this past year
syrian rue (succesful germination though)
salvia divinorum

Will give the follow a try this year:
syrian rue
psychotria viridis
salvia (yet again) after a trade here and there.

I've been thinking of growing some basil lately.

[Amomynous]

I love basil. Try the african blue if you get a chance. Some people don't like to use it culinarily (it's not very sweet), but it makes good pesto, it an atttractive landscaping plant, and it grows like gangbusters.

I forgot to mention these

calea
sun opener
cocoa
betel palm
dragons blood
toothache plant
rivea

I'm getting to the point I don't want to start any more new tropicals. I just put about 20 pots outdoors I had in because of a recent cold spell. There are another 20 that would have to come in if it got really cold and that number could go up if we had an unusually cold freeze. Kratom, rivea, and a bunch of others can't take any freezing. Lucky for me im in a warm climate but it's not that warm.  My new projects will be aztekium, sida and a few others I've got in the fridge waiting to sprout the seeds.

I use to grow salvia but it's too low in humidity indoors and outdoors the bugs eat it up. Later, when I can dedicate a proper grow area to it, I'll probably grow some more. Anyone want to discuss a particular plant?

lophos
trichos
gymnos
mammilarias
ariocarpus retuses
ariocarpus fissuratus
sceletium
khat
kratom
cuban oregano
thai basil
rosemary
cilantro

a lot more I can't remember right now.

Stoney, I want to say thanks for all the help you've been giving me with my kratom troubles. It's starting to look a lot better.

Hi Winder, since I know you are in zone6, just wondering how you are sustaining your plants? Are they seedlings that you have planted to put out for this year's garden or are they old mother plants that you are overwintering indoors?  Asking because I'm thinking of getting some of the same but don't want to endanger them with adverse conditions. Thanks.

Everything is in pots and planters and indoors right now.
The cacti are in a dormant state in the garage with enough heat to stay slightly above freezing or sitting on the brick of my fireplace mantle.

Two Brugs, the HW, and the HBWR are in pots and planters beside a window that gets afternoon sun.  Five recently rooted Brugs are under fluorescent lights in my basement.

Vpirate, I'm glad your kratom is doing well. That's an important plant in anyone's garden and I know you were worried about losing it.

Winder, the brug cutting you sent me is doing well. I have it in the shade but plan to put it more into the sun. That is, when I'm not yanking it indoors to dodge the cold spells. Looks like a bad one coming in about a day. I'll have to more around 30 pots including a couple 15 gallon ones.

Hell, we are getting pounded right now.
It was 4 deg F. last night.
The snow has been steady for 5.5 hours now.
Of course, I think it is beautiful and wouldn't mind it being even a little more intense.

The only drawback was that a second heater had to go into the garage and now both are running non-stop.  For weeks I had one on only 50% duty.  More money to the electric co.

2 species of Psychotria indoors, 2 species of Desmantus outdoors, 4 sp. of Echinacea outdoors, about 12 species of Trichocereus presently 1/2 way indoors, Sceletium tort., a couple species of Hoya, mountain mint-valerian-rosemary-strawberry-raspberry-multiple mint species-bee balm-sweet shrub-butterfly bush(es)-holly bush and tree-a couple hybrid japanese maple-a couple hybrid dogwoods (x12 .... lots a dogwood)- Heimia myrt.-Datura inoxia- outdoors (not to mention several azalias and rhodos and the splendid 5 yo paw paw tree still in a pot), another 20+ succulents (gotta love the Klanoche hybrids flowering all the way through winter so far), the Bursera sp., jade plants, multiple spider and christmass  cacti.  Think my holy basil died from exposure to too cold temps.    Close to a flat of alpine strawberries, Aptenia cord., ice plant, Alternanthera lem., maypop passion flower, columbine all over the place, winecap mushrooms naturalized in the hardwood mulched butterfly garden, shitakes hopefully still pushing forward in 1/2 dozen logs in the same garden.    These are just a few of my favorite things.
