The early hours, zone10b

  6:30am walking the dog

No time for anything on the terrace except a cup of coffee. Watered creeping figs, cereus and bamboo with weak Miracle Gro. I need to get some high nitrogen food for the bamboo, it's canopy needs some greening though I read recently that the internode swelling on the buddha belly occurs when there is little food or water given to the plant.

There are still, however, exciting things happening here. The creeping fig, recently planted in different spots, has been getting busy with  the masonry. Several plants are sending up creepers that are adhering. And, one of the cereus planted with creeping fig, has started to send out rootlets that have attached themselves to the concrete. Explanatory pics to be posted.

It would be very exciting to get that cacti growing on the walls.

I need to get burly marx planted in a protect spot on interior wall where it might be able to grab ahold of wall. May have to use Liquid Nails to glue it up in the beginning.

Cereus rising

Growing by leaps and bounds
