Gardening and Farming

[ano727]

I used to go when they were still along EDSA. EQaddict said they moved somewhere in Quezon circle.

Did a bit of GOOGLING, and found out that previous stalls in Manila Seedling have moved to various places:
1. QC Memorial Circle
2. Farmers Market Cubao
3. Mindanao Ave Garden

I'll visit these places.

Also, many have recommended to visit the CENTRIS Sunday Market as there are many plant sellers from Laguna, Quezon, Batangas, etc.

I can find wide variety of selections for bright colored flowering plants

Look for Dupay Seeds Trading in Facebook. They have quite a big selection of ornamental, vegetables, trees, shrub seeds for sale.

I've been to Centris Sunday Market. Nothing spectacular. How about going to Laguna? They have lots of plant sellers along the National Highway in Bay. This is where we buy plants as well. They even have sculptured plants na.

Or try cartimar in pasay. Doon ako nakabili "Buddha belly" bamboo.

sa mahogany market in tagaytay marami din. but mas mahal siya usually.

sabi din sa akin ng isang farmer friend, laguna daw. but he didnt specify where in laguna. doon daw sila bumibili ng seedlings.



OT: any tips on how to make the flame tree i planted a year ago grow faster? nilalagyan ko ng dried chicken manure every so often yung soil as fertilizer. sabi sa akin pruning daw. hindi naman ako marunong nito.

Pruning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bit technical but no harm in trying.

Flame trees are big (trees). Try applying vermicast, dig a hole in the ground and bury a handful of vermicast in it. Two holes on either side of the tree would be enough, so that the tree roots will reach it.

Scan thru olx, lots of people selling vermicast.

just leave it alone for the meantime and let grow taller. pruning would induce new sprouts/branches in side ways, mag-gugubat masyado ang trunk area mo.
mabilis lang lumaki iyan. i planted one sa libingan ng lola ko for shade purpose in the future and that was a couple of years ago na ga daliri lang yun laki ng trunk nya. mga 10'++ tall na siguro sya ngayon.

regular watering lang ba pwede na?

kung planted na sa ground don't worry masyado, pero kapag ganitong matindi init mas ok kung regular watering para moist palagi ang soil. direct sunlight ang gusto nyan tho.

Who's into mango farming?
Langya, yung mga manga namin, tinamad mamulaklak at mamunga. Dapat by May harvest time na e. Di naman kami nagi-spray, at piliting mamunga.

Sa mga dinaraanan ko sa hiway, parang ganun din, at yung indian mangoes lang ang namumunga.

Manila Seedling is still open pero yun mismo manila seedling bank na lang(sila yun nagbebenta ng mga puno) at yung isa tenant na lumaban sa qc government. Hindi pipitsugin kaya lumaban.

About gardening and farming. The number 1 to do habang naggagather ng information eh meron actual planting. Trial and error. At napakaimportant ng quality ng soil sa gusto mo itanim. Pati kung full sun, partial shade at madami pa iba. Watering din is crucial meron plant ayaw ng masyado matubig. Wag madismaya kung mamatayan ng tanim hanggang sa matuto.

Kung magseryoso ka jan ang maganda pataba eh ebak ng bulate(vermicompost) at kung sobrang seryoso ka na eh mag-alaga ka ng kuneho para yung ebak nila ang pakain sa bulate.

Pero ang pinakamaganda nangyayari ngayon sa farming yung a certain type of mosquito na binebreed na talo pa ang vermicompost. Kaso wala pa ata ito sa pinas or wala pa nagsisimula.

ok na yan bro, tantyahin mo na lang kung walang roofing na sasakupin ang canopy nya kapag full grown na sya. grabe maglagas ng dahon iyan, bubulukin ang yero/rain gutters mo.

Anyone here have passion ivy? Mine just started to flower(literally one flower pa lang bumuka). The weird thing is the flower closes up at night and opens in the daytime. Ganung ba talaga yan, or nasaniban na yung alaga ko?

May itatanim kasi ako bago puno dito sa garahe para lilim sa kotse, mga in 2years mapakinabangan ko na ito. Kailangan ko bawasan sanga aratlelis para maarawan si bagong puno. Doc mas gusto ko yung ganyan pole pruner para wala ng akyatan. Masyado umbok na pwet ko kaka deadlift at squats. Ayoko magposing sa taas. Inaabangan ako ng mga yaya eh.

Napapangiti talaga ako pag nakikita ko tinanim ko sa sidewalk sa kabilang anim na kanto tatlong talisay way back year2014-2015. Napapakinabangan na ngayon = dalawa sidewalk vendor and mga mokong na kotse nakatira sa condominium. Yung sidewalk vendor ok lang kasi hindi sila permanent may oras mga 6hours lang sila. Pero ito mga kotse sa condominium ang kakapal talaga ng mukha gusto pa doon sa lilim.

we used to buy power tools, "because we needed one for a job".
gamit once, then tago sa workshop for years and years. then, for another job... we discover na "hey! meron na pala tayong ganito! no need to buy (again!)!"

anong puno yan na nangangakong magbibigay ng magandang lilim after only two years?

maganda sa talisay,
malaki dahon. madaling walisin.
but once the tree gets taller, wala nang shade value.
tali-an na lang ng kabayo't bisikleta.
