I have never had any luck with orchids & I have such a green thumb. I had 2 from a friend that passed away & they both died, it makes me sad I couldn't keep them alive. I think I just keep the house too cold & probably didn't feed them enough.
Still cold out there. I don't want to go out there & check on the birds yet. I have a red that had some laying issues the last couple of days & I need to check on her.
@Swiss you have an aero garden? Do you like it? Got any tips?
They will be on a trellis as space is an issue here - I grow up with whatever I can. I would think aluminum foil would be for vine borers maybe? I'm not sure it would do much for squash bugs. At least not the indestructible family of them around here.For squash bugs I've heard aluminum foil around the base of plants works. That said, you need to keep the plant of the ground for it to work, so staking or trellising it's necessary. Another option is weed fabric, would poses a real obstacle for the bus to get through between the soil and the plants.
