Geek Gardener

Hello there. I'm Matt and I'm a computer geek. My fiancée Nancy
is a big gardening fan and she gets a great suntan pottering around in our
garden dealing with plants and flowers and things whilst I waste away typing.
I have therefore decided to redress that balance by trying to grow something
myself this summer. This site tracks my efforts.

Fin

Filed under: — matts @ 4:09 pm

I stopped updating this when the nights started to draw in and all the plants died off. It was slightly sad but ultimately a fulfilling experience when I look back on the pictures.

The next year (2005) I grew loads more stuff but realised that I didn’t have the patience to both grow loads of stuff and blog it so I stopped blogging it.

All-in-all though the Geek Gardener project was a success!

Dog’s Dinner

Filed under: — matts @ 8:28 pm

And finally for today, an update on the crisis zone which is sunflower number one. His head still sits at an alarming angle, but doesn’t seem to be getting any worse. And even better news is that no less than four additional flowers are on the way! You can see three of them here:

He does look most peculiar - with his listing head now a foot below three new sprouts (the fourth is slightly lower down, just visible in the lower picture). There are also other blooms forming in some of the crevices between the trunk and the leaves - it’ll be interesting to see if any of them flower (most are tiny). Only sunflowers one and two (the ones which have had “issues") have these - three and four each only have the one flower. I presume therefore that trauma at the top can prompt interesting stuff lower down.

The temptation to cut off his head is greater than ever before!

Good Fourtune

Filed under: — matts @ 8:25 pm

Four is in his prime now. Beautiful thing, with his flower now fully developed. He is however a little saggy in this picture due to it being a hot day. When it’s warm, since they are so large and their pots are so small, they’ll sag unless watered every couple of hours, which is obviously impractical when we’re both at work. Ah well.

Next year I intend to grow them in the ground rather than in pots which straight away eliminates the watering and falling-over problems. Not sure how I’ll keep the slugs off them though!

Dead-Heading

Filed under: — matts @ 8:20 pm

I’ve begun dead-heading the nasturtiums. The flowers are beautiful but they have a limited life-span, and in order to help other flowers grow I must regularly remove the dead ones.

Today’s regular “aren’t they pretty?” picture therefore also shows in the background a very dead one. This one was removed shortly after the picture was taken. There are still squillions left so it won’t be missed.

Support

Filed under: — matts @ 8:12 pm

I forgot to mention two feature enhancements we made to the sunflowers a while ago. Firstly, we got some copper tape which allegedly gives slugs and snails an electric shock (!) when they come into contact with it - and that’s taped around all the sunflower pots now. Since then there’s been a marked reduction in nocturnal eating, so it seems to work!

Also, due to the numerous falling-over incidents (many logged here) we gave the pots a little more weight with some old bricks which were lying around in the dustbin area. In case Uncle Terry ever reads this, the bricks are from Marston! Again, this non-technical solution has proved highly effective.

Oh, if you’re wondering about the little pot on the brick, it contains a tiny conifer I found growing in the corner of a fuschia pot when we repotted it the other day. Nancy hates conifers so I don’t know what to do with it but just binning it was not an option! I might take it to the office and put it on my desk. Don’t think there’s anything in my contract preventing me growing trees.

Two In the Twilight

Filed under: — matts @ 8:09 pm

Having shed most of it’s lovely yellow petals, number two’s flower is reaching the end of it’s natural life, and my thoughts now turn to what to do with him. The Internet, of course, knows all things, and the perceived group wisdom is that I should chop off the heads when the backs of them start to go brown, store it in the garage in a bag (just like with the alliums), and wait for all the seeds to fall out. I shall check this with my Dad when he gets back from Austria.

Number two’s back is not brown, which means I get to put off the inevitable beheading for a bit longer. I have to say that I’m not looking forward to it, however, the passing of the big flower will give the secondary flower a better chance of getting some water, so that’s kind of OK. As you can see here, the secondary bloom on number two is a pretty little thing, even if it does look more of a daisy than a sunflower! Thanks to him not being very heavy he’s not suffered stunted petal growth from resting on a leaf. He therefore uniquely sits proudly undamaged.

No Updates

Filed under: — matts @ 11:28 pm

Due to real life taking over for a while, predominantly preparations for an event on October 2nd that most of the regular readership already know about :-) , I’ve not had time to blog stuff. The sunflowers requiring (ideally) water three or four times a day (their little pots can’t hold much) also eats away at my spare time.

Suffice to say that everything’s doing well (erm, except the pansies). More on that later when I get a spare hour.

Creepers

Filed under: — matts @ 9:02 pm

The nasturtiums (which have been almost forgotten in sunflower one’s time of need) are snaking their way across the patio in two different directions. So much so that another pot reshuffle was required to stop other things from being climbed all over by them. Their seed pods are also getting quite massive and numerous, which is very encouraging for next year’s growth. There are literally hundreds of flowers now, and roughly that number of seed pods.

Given that I started with no more than a couple of dozen seeds and now have this sprawling mass dominating the patio, I think they’ll be in every spare corner next summer! :-)

Arty Shot

Filed under: — matts @ 8:58 pm

Here’s an attempted arty shot of all three of the flowers. Some improvement required!

Trendsetter

Filed under: — matts @ 8:56 pm

Number two’s flower continues to grow and the petals have pretty much straightened up now.
