What plants to grow in warm climate?

pano — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:28 +0000

I have a 3 meter by 1 meter outdoor area attached to my kitchen, paved, and has restricted sun access because it is roofed and has a wooden panel that looks like this http://www.tradeindia.com/selloffer/2571690/Punched-Hole.html

Enough sunlight peaks through the grooves but the direct sunlight is limited to 2 hours a day max.

This is in a sea country in the Middle East, so it is hot and humid in summer, warm to slightly cool in the evenings in winter. It is winter now, and there is no humidity. Temp around 28 -23 C.

I want to turn this area into a herb and vegetable garden. What types of herbs and vegetables could I grow under the above conditions? (baring in mind the current season).

Many thanks,
Z

Thoughts on an indoor herb garden?

pano — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:01:27 +0000

I want an indoor culinary herb garden but haven’t heard much about them.
Are they worth it?
Does it actually work and continue to grow herbs?
If you’ve ever owned one I’d love to know your opinion.
Thanks!

Indoor Herb Garden

I bought a mint garden, and a basil garden from my my neighbourhood farmers market. They are already grown and they look stunning on my window sill, but how do I keep them from dyeing?

Not sure if this link is going to work, but here is a picture.

How many times do I water them? Do I use a lot of water? Do I only wet the soil, or can I wet the actual plant as well?
Is there a certain way to pick the herb out of it’s stem? If so, how?

Please give me all the tips you have.

I live in an apartment with no patio and I have an indoor organic windowsill herb garden of 5 herbs.

Any indoor gardeners have advice for me?

My Dad found a frog in a flower arrangement, is it poisonous?

pano — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 12:14:07 +0000

My dad works for a moving company and the company delivered a flower arrangement. Out of the flower arrangement came a tiny frog. He is yellowish brown and has some brown dots on his back. My dad said he grew up with those types of frogs, but I just wanted to make sure he is not poisonous. Also, what are these frog’s lifespan? I am keeping him in an herb garden box full of mainly dirt. Do I need to feed him, or will he feed on dirt? What do I need to feed him? How do we supply water? Any other important information on this type of frog. Most of the time he digs under the dirt and keeps his head above the dirt.

Thanks so much, I know nothing about frogs
Wait so is it poisonous? ( to the first answer)
btw the colors are very dull and earthy not neon colors
