Plant species: Averrhoa carambola. Pretty sure it's not a commercial variety.
Planted: November or December 2012
In/Out: Outdoors
Medium: Miracle Grow Organics Potting Mix
Lighting: Big nuclear fusion reactor in the sky.
Status: Growing a little bigger every day! It won't start flowering for at least a year after germination, according to wikipedia.
Watering: When it looks thirsty, usually, but normally, along with the rest of my non420 garden every morning. I use a garden hose, tap water, rain-style sprayer. Usually give every plant (except cacti) a really good soaking.
Any other details y'all would be interested in hearing, ask me. Anywho.......
Growing starfruit trees!
Ever seen a starfruit? It looks like this:
From wikimedia:
Well, about 5 or 6 months ago, my neighbor came home with three or four big shopping bags full of starfruit from their friend's tree. So, I was given one of the bags full of starfruit, about 20 lbs worth! It was about 30-40 starfruit. Well, it took a while to eat 'em all, lol. Some were very ripe when I got to them, but very good eating. I got the seeds I planted from the very ripe starfruits, and simply stuck 'em in pots full of MG Organics Potting Mix. Been watering pretty much every day or two since, along with rest of non-420 garden.
Here's a pic from April 20th, about 4 months old, I think.
From today!
I have given away two of the trees, and am tree-sitting the one in the blue pot for a friend of mine. He wants it to get bigger before he takes it, so he doesn't kill it, lol.
I'll keep y'all posted on these trees' progress! I am really excited about them. First bona-fide tree I've ever grown.
