Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, August 2![]() Our tree lilies are out, they fill the house with a lovely smell. How glorious!

From By-Tor: Good news on the gardening front- a mysterious vining plant popped up in my pepper plant and turns out to be a pickling cucumber, which I’m excited about. Just need about twenty more. And my first Carolina Reaper turned orange ( 1.8 million Scoville units; a jalepejo is 6K), and I’m getting strawberries. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fun! And impressive for a container garden. I'll skip the Carolina Reapers though. My cousin and her husband will be leaving their apricot tree and apricot harvest for a lower elevation and warmer climate this fall, after about 27 years. A peach tree wouldn't typically produce nearly that long. This tree is too big and too tall for easy thinning and pruning. See the old-fashioned apple/pear ladder. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Have you ever opened a watermelon like this?

Week in Review What has changed since last week's thread? Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, July 26 I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
Lirio100: It was a Drosera filiformis so not sure what happened since the other two plants were fine. I can move the dish closer and protect it better this time I do have one question--it was recommended to use distilled water, which I do. What is the problem with tap water? Tony Litwin: To Lirio100: Sorry for missing your post, but here is your answer. Tap water has too many minerals in it to use out of the tap. Either use tap water that has been allowed to sit for several days or rain water, both of which can be caught in a barrel type catchment. You don't have to use distilled water. Here's a hybrid of that sundew from Tony. The April 23, 2022 thread also includes some other great photos of carnivorous plants from Tony, plus a puncture plant (also discussed last week) and a machine someone invented to remove them. ![]()
