Minnesota Wild Ferns  

I love wild ferns, my good friend!

There presense and fragrance tell me that I am on vacation in my favorite hidden forest in the mountains! :)

You are one lucky, lucky dude! :) LOL!

This is lovely grandpa, I also love watching them as long as it's that very chaotic...We have some also in our fence at the back!

I love ferns and mostly i got my ferns from the orchid potting materials. When I repot my orchids, there are small plants that grow in it and i replant them. they grow into ferns and repotted them in bigger pots. Many of my ferns died when the typhoon hit us last week.

Oh my Grandpa, that picture is awesome! You really are quite the photographer. Perhaps you should gather a bunch of your photos and do a book? Anyway, when I lived in North Carolina there was a fern or two that was native to the area. They were gorgeous. However, the ferns you show are much prettier. I would love to have one of those ferns! Any idea how you could mail me one? Ha! The home we just bought has a water feater in the backyard and I can visualize how pretty the ferns would be around the water feature!

I love ferns, but it seems my part of the world is too hot and dry to grow them. I have tried bringing them back here from Oklahoma, Michigan, and New Hampshire, but had no luck. I have bought them at nurseries and still eventually, after one to two years, they have died. I think I am mostly too busy to make sure they get enough moisture and soil enrichment at the right time. Imagine that. I foresee that my life may get more laid back in the future, and maybe I can do it then.

Hi webeishere, I love ferns and the only ones that grow well are the ones that are in the woods. I am not sure what type you have but I will take a look!

I don't have ferns around my place but I may just put some in next year. I know, everything is "next year" with me but I was unprepared this year and had a cash shortage as well as no concrete plans. Now that I see my yard and know it pretty well, I have all kinds of things I plan to do!

Ferns look so beautiful in a garden!

yes,we have,and my parents plants many vegetable ,they looks green.

My brother's house has a kind of a mini-forest in the back of it. I have a little garden where I have some tea plants in pots. I will be getting some oregano and basil from home which my wife will be sending to me next week so I prepared some pots for them. I have been dabbling in EM (effective microorganisms) sometimes called BIMO (beneficial indegenous microorganismas and I put some preparation on these posts. Cheers!!
