So glad you did. She is beyond beautiful!

I had to pay attention: ALL my seedlings are gone into family's and friends' gardens, but two for me! They are in a container since yesterday, in a rectangular one of 60 liters. I hope they'll like it there!

You mean all the KARMAs,or actually all but 2 seedlings? You are not gardening for yourself this year?

5 seedlings have gone to family and friends and 2 are now in my own garden. I had to pay attention to keep at least those 2 for me...

As long as my bones cooperate at least a little bit, I'll have a garden...

Default Karma pink clones update

started flowering a couple of days ago. They are open now. It is 14" tall. It was probably about 3-4" tall when planted. All original leaves have been taken off. Remember this was planted out after 4 days in a clone machine.

My 2nd KP clone - the one with all the roots is also doing great. Also right into an EB and shade after 2 PM for 2 days then intense sun after that.

It's raining now and tomorrow suppose to be tons of rainfall; I will get pictures when I can.


----
Also one of the plants with seeds that I sowed 3/17 has fruit and lots of flowers. This one went into an EB with no shade ever just a couple of sungold vines hanging over the cage.

Fruit about the size of a dime.

With my clones, March seed sowing, January seed sowing I feel like I have a lot of KPs. Will be battling warm nights soon with the aide of the veggie-bee.

Just a brief update on my original (distressed) Karma Pink -- back from the brink. It is now doing well, generating good new leaves and roots. It looks a little funny from the lack of lower leaves, but in a month, it should look perfectly normal. My second planting seedlings are looking fine, also. Two in DE and two in 50/50 DE + coir. Continuing with the "Schultz Water" at 7 drops per quart of 10-10-10 liquid. The second batch will get some Jobes organics in the planting mix when transplanted (soon).

I am amazed at yiur ingenuity, and I'm watching your progress carefully. I am do interested to see how far into the summer you can stretch the KP season. Fascinating.

Its wonderful to hear that health has returned. I find the KPs to be very vigorous.

Here's my KARMA Pink. It was planted outside around April 12. Already got some babies!
I will be moving from zone 7b to zone 8a in a few weeks.

Here's my KP as of 05/14. It is looking good all over. The past few days have been high in low to mid-eighties (F) and lows in mid fifties. We shall see what comes when the temps get serious and the humidity disappears.
