Isn't it so wonderful to find a gift like that in your garden?<br /><br />You should be able to plant your saplings in the ground anytime, as long as you can protect them from the weedwacker and lawn mower. They would do very well in garden soil and they are cold hardy to zone 5.<br /><br />Keep them consistently watered. If the tree suffers stress, such as drought, the patio peaches can be susceptible to peach borers and other pests. So just watch the water.<br /><br />Good luck!Victoria Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823326222666145996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497953642656599579.post-31735607080697389562012-07-18T06:21:50.717-07:002012-07-18T06:21:50.717-07:00I bought this tree about 6 years ago at my local g...I bought this tree about 6 years ago at my local grocery store of all places. I had no idea what an amazing addition it would be to my landscape or I would have purchased two! I've never been able to eat a peach though the tag says it produces edible peaches. They rot before they rippen. But last year, under this beautiful tree, I found two pits split with new seedlings! They wintered over in a burried pot. How long should I leave them in a pot before finding a permanent placement and planting them? They're about 6 - 8" tall now. I live on L.I., N.Y. and am a bit colder than zone 7b due to winds from surrounding open fields.

Then we used plastic plant trays as the internal structure to allow drainage from top to bottom, and within the trays we used peat pots. We knew those would decompose, but by that time the roots of the plants would function as a structure of their own.<br /><br />We filled the pots with potting soil, stapled burlap around the frame, and the hardware cloth on to of that. There is also a drip irrigation system at the top. It was quite the project! But it has held up beautifully.<br /><br />There are snap together systems available as well.<br /><br />Good luck!Victoria Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823326222666145996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497953642656599579.post-55830139971971666502012-03-31T05:55:54.333-07:002012-03-31T05:55:54.333-07:00I would like to construct a living wall as well!

There's a picture of one on my blog, here: http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2011/05/update-ferns-sticks-trinity-tar.html . They're much different from other fiddleheads, the rest of which all look and taste generally similar. (All except bracken are round, like an old-fashioned lacrosse racket; bracken look like the head of an actual violin, and have a pronounced bitter-almond bite that's not everyone's favourite.)<br /><br />It's hard for me to tell from the photo exactly what you've got there; my experience of eastern ferns isn't as broad as those here in the Pacific Northwest. Offhand they look like one of the edibles, though; pending positive ID, of course. <br /><br />Great blog!<br /><br />Robin<br />Rusty Ring: Reflections of an Old-Timey Hermit (blog)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522501894058291952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497953642656599579.post-66131466563114143362011-05-06T10:38:55.425-07:002011-05-06T10:38:55.425-07:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Ayumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279087797451890508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497953642656599579.post-42700577539101091972011-05-06T09:45:02.698-07:002011-05-06T09:45:02.698-07:00I'm not sure how common violets are as a cut f...I'm not sure how common violets are as a cut flower.
