declining naturally early Sep; discarded remaining Red/Black seeds in hedge because simpler to rely only on highly prolific Whipporwill; staked up another few volunteer plants to replace declining ones and scattered 100 peas mid Sep; harvest has been 3/4 to one cup daily for over 3 months; favoring green peas over mature peas has provided for longer harvest periods, more nutrition, but probably not less processing versus sprouting mature peas

planted 4 early Sep, 4 late Sep, Z5;

planted 4 early Sep, 4 late Sep, Z5; older plants have declined, late Sep; need to plant monthly; 3 month intervals leave us without fruit; seems production is after 1 month and lasts for 1 month;

thriving in hot/humid Jul/Aug

thriving in hot/humid Jul/Aug

Plants from Feb/Mar 2018 are mostly gone now;

sowed seed pie Aug 22; fruiting - very disappointing handful of small fruits on May transplants - we think heat/humidity reduced pollination; vines long/spindly so maybe lacking nitrogen; spots on vines so maybe vine disease; old plant roots reveal root knot nematodes maybe rising again;

mostly done early Aug; leaf disease attacking new growth left large plants long fruitless stubs; prolonged/intense heat/humidity plus nematodes contributed; shade may be helpful next time;

sowed 2 seed pies Aug 22 - 1 black cherry, 1 krim/cherry cross; a few hanging on but not thriving; leaf disease attacking new growth left large plants long fruitless stubs; prolonged/intense heat/humidity plus nematodes contributed; shade may be helpful next time;

2.5" to 3" Apr 15; transplanted 2 in Z5 near peach, Apr 20

transplanted seedlings showing dramatic benefits from covering with strawberry clamshells; seed pies show dramatic benefits from covering with white sheer curtains over the porch ladder; covers seem to preserve humidity and calm wind, moderate sun and reduce pathogens/pests; diligent, careful daily watering seems very helpful while pee/compost seem optional.

Wood Sorrel flowering early Feb; harvesting wood sorrel, spiderwort, shamrock, purslang, etc through Feb

covered tropical plants for 3 nights starting Feb 28 with predicted lows of 39-41F

little frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

harvesting 1 fruit/week; little frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

harvested 20-22 large fruits in Jan; frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

harvested another 8-10 fruits in Jan; frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

harvesting 4-5 fruits/day from several plants; not as vigorous as black cherry & crosses; frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

fruiting in Z4 in new fig hugelhole demonstrating that black cherry/black krim cross cuttings can fruit in mid winter in heavy shade; they just take a while to reach size; frost damage Jan 22 32.9F

harvesting 5 leaves/week from 5 small plants in Z1 sun

Wood Sorrel, Spiderwort, Dayflower all abundant for months

covered tropical trees Jan 20 & 21 for low 30s; at Mt Dora Middle School, low Jan 21: 37.1F, low Jan 22: 32.9F; planted bambooo hedge on Z7 west/north sides

flowering after partly defoliating, which seems a routine cycle for healthy plants in this climate

plant in sun west of banana in Z3 has 4-6 large fruits (like last year), plants in shade east of redland in Z5 each has a nice fruit, plants in shade south Z2 not so well, even with relatively fresh hugelbed, maybe due to tomatoes nearby in addition to shade, etc

probably 20 large fruits now, but maybe new production has slowed due to cold, even with plenty of rain

older plants fruiting in Z1 & newer plants fruiting big in sunny hugelbed of Jamaica Cherry in Z3, mid Dec

fruiting in Z2, Z3

fruiting in Z1, Z2

planted in Z2 & Z5 mid Dec

4 plants turned out to be sweet fruit but not really big yet late Nov; 2 plants turned out to be hot fruit

about 10 plants have fruit all sizes late Nov, some to mature soon

just one small volunteer plant came into production in Nov; need to sow some more seed around

4 to 6 plants but just a couple of flowers so far in late Nov

plants from Aug died but plants surviving from Feb/Mar 2018 planting began fruiting well this Oct/Nov (2 new fruits per week) when commercial orange bees arrived;

moderate crop of delicious fruit; ripen inside in hot season, ripen on vine in cold season; producing continuously when propagated by cuttings

volunteers moderately vigorous, producing continuously when propagated by cuttings

volunteer hidalgo/krim cross continue to produce much more than heirlooms; producing continuously when propagated by cuttings; partially ripen on vine but picking early avoids black fungus on fruit around stem

8-10 plants growing very slowly; these really like it hot

seeded pie late Aug, Long Purple

transplanted 7 early Aug

transplanted 3 Aug 17, transplanted 5 Aug 23; transplanted 4 Aug 28;

starting to decline late Aug; harvested many pods

planted 4 in Z5 early Aug

planted 6 in Z5 hugelbed late Aug; old crop leafing big but not much pollination, no pollinating bees

last of original planting going kaput; seeded pie late Aug

most plants kaput; seeded two pies late Aug

seeded pie late Aug

sowed in Z1 hugelbed late Aug

sowed Red Romaine in Z1 hugelbed late Aug

Wood Sorrel coming on again;

at late Aug appears most fruit trees benefitted from extra misting/watering & mulch ring size; continue to think benefits from pruning, training, removing fruit from young trees, and weed grow/chop/drop; also having success with potted seedlings with ample poop, pee, water

all 4 fruits split or rot Jul 20

1 yr old in Z3 banana patch finally died Jun 15

Whipporwill thriving in guild with Sugarcane Jujube; also thriving in hugelbed near Mexican Lime where Red/Black struggling

2nd fruiting flush starting Jun 9; 10 in Z5 hugelbed began fruiting Jun 27; 3 near Tanenashi stopped fruiting Jun 27

2 of 20 fruits stored under shade were first to go bad soon after rainy season start

volunteer in Z1 hugelbed producing abundantly given nutrients in soil but fruit bad because lack of sun; plants in guilds with mangos, citrus, berries, persimmons much smaller, but nice fruit

assasin bugs returned to same areas as before but in fewer numbers in Jun

leafing big Jun 15

wet season starts early Jun; leafing Jun 30: 2 sticks of bamboo hedge at front of pawpaw patch - we had planted 5 sticks in Feb & were surprised that these leafed

declined, no bulbs

Aji Margarinteno near Valencia ripens 8-12 large fruits daily; tapering off end of May

1 yr old in Z3 banana patch flowering/fruiting mid May

fruiting May 14

fruit ripening May 14, tapering off May 31; planted 10 in Z5 hugelbed May 4, 6 plants leafing big May 31; hanging pods around vines to keep off ground beneficial

20 more small fruits matured first half of May; harvested fruits lasting estimated 3 months and counting;

harvested 12 fruits from one plant in Z1 around May 12; 2 fruits were rotting so harvested others green; compost May 31 for two plants in Grandma orange guild; Z1 plant has black skin disease on bottom of fruits

harvesting about 12 fruits per day from 12 plants; pruning for 2-4 vines but maybe should prune for 6-8 vines?

compost May 31 for Roma, Black Cherry & Hidalgo volunteers in Z2

planted 10 in Z5 hugelbed May 4; leafing big May 31

finally taking off; going to seed May 31 at 4 inches tall

finally taking off mid Apr after cold Mar

finally taking off mid Apr after cold Mar
