when 1 seed sprouts & grows but the 2nd on other side doesn’t 🤷🏻♂️
Turned into an extremely healthy looking tomato plant that I have been pruning heavily to keep it short, unlike my other 8 foot tall tomatoes. With this particular plant since it grew by itself & its shape from pruning. I’ve decided to work on bonsai trimming skills. some thing I’ve researched & learned about recently, teaching myself new things through studys & research. Ever thought about what people do when they wake up in the middle of the night & can’t sleep? well, This is me. I research stuff I study stuff & I teach myself new stuff 🤔 hmmm but is it possible? I honestly have no idea but you tell me what it looks like to you? So Far So Good 😊 🤙🏽 & an 8ft tall tomato plant huh? When most tomatoes are struggling to survive or even dying?? Ya right got to see it to believe it. Not the best picture because my arm only reaches so long, but I’m 6’ 1” my arm is about that long & this is about 8 foot-ish. or higher 😳🤯🤷🏻♂️ Way toooo big to bring inside lol smdh worries about all my plants with cold weather getting closer 😅

Jumbo Sweet Banana Pepper + Mammoth Jalapeño + Peace Lily baby patch
I’m not really sure how all these plants got into the same pot but here we are! Repotting time turns into breeding experiment. Pulled entire content of the pot out. Separated the peace lily into 5 new plants. 3 extremely healthy baby lilies in 4”pots, 1 healthy baby the same size in water “testing to see what happens” so far its thriving with new growth surprising considering how little they actually like water. 🤯 & had 3 individual baby sprouts fall off in the process so put them in a cup of water to establish more root development b4 putting them in soil 🤙🏽 Kept the big banana pepper plant & mammoth jalapeño together, actually tied them together with a neon green bread tie. The roots were so tied together from growing so close to one another I’m not going to kill them by trying to separate them.  So I put them up to their neck in a very large pot with three times as much soil. & I will cross pollinate them creating a new pepper. A Sweet & Spicy Mammoth Banana Jalapeño Pepper😳🤔🤤or something 🤷🏻♂️lol

Holy Moly What is That?!
Crawling across my driveway !! at first glance, I thought one of my cats was playing with a stick, but I think she was trying to figure out why that stick was moving. It is literally the size of my thumb. !! I showed my mom and at first glance she thought it might have been a tobacco worm, but said they’re normally green. What an odd thing to see helping Ma get in the car for church. I said well don’t run it over what if it’s a butterfly it’ll be like the size of a chicken.!!! lol I’m super curious if anyone knows what type of caterpillar this is it’s about 5 to 6 inches long and about a half an inch round picture shows the front, from the side, and the back

This mornings before the storm harvest
Harvested everything that was ripe or ripening that I thought could cause damage from its weight. Still a lot of peppers out there, but they’re all green few tomatoes as well. Already having 45 mph gusts so I moved a few plants & pruned some also. Not a little storm coming this time winds were 145 mph last I checked All the peppers on top are sweet. All the peppers on the bottom are hot. 13 super sweet banana peppers 13 jalapenos 4 mammoths rest are chili jalapenos 2 green lil ones fell off 12 cherry tomatoes 4 okra 3 basil leaves 1 Yellow Boy tomato 😬 Trying to decide whether I should fertilize them or bring them under shelter 😅

there’s been a lot of beautiful roses posted recently
So I figured I would check on mine & here’s what we have today. I planted this rosebush in my yard when my dad died 25 years ago and it takes care of itself. It has probably grown to be about 8 foot tall and 12 foot wide give or take. And Naturally grows bouquets of roses, not one or not a few but entire bouquets. Huge clusters 🫶🏽

repotted a jalapeño today that just insisted growing side ways lol
One of my biggest producers of jalapeños this year look at all those peppers. It growing crooked from a young age & then growing 25 peppers it seemed to lean more every time I watered it. So pulled it out the pot knocked some dirt off the outside roots added some more soil to the pot. Straightened it up & filled the pot up. It’s in about a 4gallon pot.

2 “red” gingers & 1 “white” ginger & what may be a “Air plant” & Black Bamboo
Other ground cover plants for my “Tropical rainforest raised bed” project. Partially a container garden until I get the placement right “in my eyes” for the look I’m wanting. And so I can bring the smaller plants inside and keep them alive over winter. I will put them in the ground next spring when things will really start to grow like crazy. Any advice, tips, plant suggestions or opinions are welcome. I have a few other plants I’m thinking about adding but would really like some input from the community. Thank you ahead of time 🫶🏽

Still not 100% sure what kind of banana plant ive been blessed with 🤷🏻♂️
I believe It’s either a Platano, Musa Basjoo or a Caverndish Banana. Either way here’s an update on my banana plants with some elephant ears & purple velvet elephant ears “Toros” & a few other plants for the “jungle floor” a few asiatic lilies behind the big banana plant dying back for the season. Every single plant in the picture is flourishing with new growth & babies😁 except for the lilies, which make bulbs underground for next year. The Mexican blue bell has the Purple flowers behind the banana plant “my hummingbird tree” I noticed yesterday they really love that plant with those purple flowers 😇 So I have to say my “raised tropical rain forest bed” project is coming along nicely & successful. The look isn’t quite there yet, but it’s growing in very well and I only see it getting better with time. & a few more jungly plants

Trying something New, Day 1 Crown cut & placed in water
Store bought pineapple. Chopped the top off, leaving 1 inch of meat & put the top into a container of fresh rainwater. Was going to leave it at that & see what happens but, couldn’t stand all the brown ugly. So I gave it a good hair cut too. Ive never done this before, simply never even thought about trying to grow one lol. figured why not 🤷🏻♂️ Hopefully all the cutting won’t change the outcome to a negative one we’ll see!

a gift I received i guess 2 months ago now
1st pic shows it with some struggles from heat stress and not the best of care and over the last two months. The second picture shows how it’s doing after two tropical storms and a little less heat.  It has at least eight new babies growing around it and some major new growth “ I sat it out in the rain during our last tropical storm a few days ago”  it’s been doing rather well overall, but this growth spurt after this last little bit tropical depression/storm we had is quite impressive 😁 I believe it’s about time for a bigger pot whatchu think?

it’s good to say the plants won’t need watering for a couple of days sighs
H O L D F A S T As an Outter Banks local & member of CERT. Certified Emergency Response Team If the roads are flooded, I highly suggest turn around don’t drown. You never know how deep the water can be. Don’t be a fool. It’s not cool.  A weak storm by any means but it’s definitely dropping some rain on top of King Tide

new shoots
Had to dump water out of the container this morning from rain most of the day yesterday. Had a strong thunderstorm roll through as well dumping lots of rain. This container has a hole I drilled in each side about 3 inches from the bottom.  probably needs more in the bottom. I want it to hold water well, but not sit in it  On a positive note, the grass is really green 🫶🏽

my biggest & smallest banana tree
Big daddy here has gotten a few compliments the last 2 weeks by passerby’s Who have seen how big it’s gotten since I planted it. My 1st experience with any banana plant & I have to say it’s been awesome so far. This little sprout will be the second one off of the biggest plant. When I got it, it was barely 2 foot tall. & has grown 7-8 feet since I put it in the ground this summer. To say the least, I am certainly not looking forward to fall and winter. Freeze will kill it to the ground if I don’t do some major winterizing. Or dig it up & put it somewhere 🤦🏻♂️ so I want to at least dig up the baby & put it in a pot, but I don’t want to damage the big ones root system 🤷🏻♂️ idk

And of course, I got Ma flowers for her Birthday Day 🫶🏽
The surprise fishing trip was the highlight though! She had such a great time. For the ones who don’t know. Carrying your parents fishing once we get older is an incredible unforgettable experience. I’m truly blessed to have an awesome mother like mine. She’s an angel. Wildcat sitting purdy for a pic with Ma’s new flower 🫶🏽 and yes, Wild cat was actually a feral wildcat that was rescued two years ago and fixed. There was a dozen total we kept four and rehomed eight  all of which were fixed and had their shots after we rescued them “ they would have been eaten by coyotes”

3rd pic is of the blooms you can see from the top 🤯All pics from the same plant. I have 4 jalapeños, similar to this one right now. all went through the same pruning, watering & banana watering weekly. My other 4 jalapeños went through a different pruning, same watering. Have roughly the same amount of peppers but one big cluster giving the bushes a mushroom cloud shape

Been really impressed with the okra this year. For anyone who doesn’t know any okra that’s bigger than a lighter is usually tough as nails.So you want finger size Okra nothing bigger really unleas for seeds. So I’m Letting the next monster one fully grow so I can get the seeds from it 🤙🏽

The butchering of Sir Basil
Sir Basil got a triple chop top, left arm got a double chop top & right arm got a single chop top. An excessive pruning/propagation experiment Ive been waiting for the moon to be right to do. Fingers crossed if this works I’ll have six clones off of one plant at once!  I took multiple pictures in the process showing where I cut if anyone is interested
