The Punahou Carnival was this weekend. My favorite booth is the plant booth. I spent $28.50 for some amazing plants. I carried all of them home on my bike. This is $23 worth of plants: on the side are 2 monstera, in the box are a hibiscus, taro, 2 heliconia (like bird-of-paradise), ginger, pink flowers, purple ti-like plant, and an impatient. Today I picked up a papaya, variegated hibiscus, more pink flowers, lavender, oregano, and something related to ti. I picked up free compost and wood chip mulch to help my plants get a good start.
Here is the cargo from Friday.
The monstera and impatient went in the side yard. The impatient is in the back, next to the gardenia tree (you can't see it).
Hibscuses are in the other side yard. I am hoping to screen the neighbors house a bit.
The tall ti-like plants were rescued from the bird of paradise 2 weeks ago. The soil was partly drainage rock so I dug them back up and mixed in some compost. The little green guys are some sort of bromeliad that came with the property. The new ti-like plants are the short stocky green plant and purple plant. You can barely see the purple one.
These are the rehabbed garden plots. My tomatoes and basil are going crazy. My tomatoes have flower buds!
The plot in the foreground (left) was totally filled with vines and green onions. Now I have beans planted in front of the green onions. They just started to sprout. The plot in the background (right) is my new plot. It will take several weeks before I can plant anything. Right now it's just compost and extra dirt from other parts of the yard.
Things outside are really coming together.
