Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Dec. 14![]() Great shot of a Clivia from Neal in Israel. Love it. A repeat. New to me is his Jatropha. It's an "evergreen shrub or small tree with stunning flowers that will bring butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden." ![]() The flowers of this species is rather star-like. Very attractive. Neal says: As part of the process of replacing annuals with perennials, I planted a jatropha. It produces cute little flowers, each about the size of a dime, and it has grown a bit. Unfortunately, new leaves start yellowing quite quickly. I try to guarantee enough water, and I fertilized the whole garden during the course of October-November, so I'm hoping the plant will strengthen and overcome the problem. Hope it regains its health. There is another species grown in places like Florida that is called 'Coral Plant'. Its flowers look very different. Is everyone ready for Christmas or Hanukkah? Doing any decorating? We are featuring some decorating here today.
Today is National Bouillabaisse Day and also Roasted Chestnuts Day. If you want to make Bouillabaisse using garden ingredients, you could grow some saffron crocuses and fennel. For Classic Chestnut Stuffing, you could grow celery, flat-leaf parsley (try Giant Italian), sage and thyme. Maybe even mushrooms. Growing a chestnut tree is a project. Classic Chestnut Stuffing The same herbs are used in several other types of holiday stuffings and dressings. Some can be maintained indoors for a while. Have you ever grown them? Ah, Nature Not Reindeer:
Puttering ![]() From a friend: I just finished these oversized Christmas lights. The lights are made from 2 liter bottles, the wires from pipe insulation, and the oversized plug from a trash container and fence pickets. Really fun project. At night they really glow. Lights inside the giant light plug in. ![]() ![]() More Decorating 14 Christmas Decorations From the 1960s & 1970s Well Never See Again!
