Bored Baer fan Summer Enthusiasm thread: Ferns edition

[HeHateMe]

While it appears that many on here spent this beautiful summer weekend libeling and defaming each other, conversing about molesting histories, collecting screenshots, trolling and trying to get people banned, ME AND SOME OTHER PALS were doing some serious garden talk in our private gardening channel in our general Renaissance MAN discord server.

Feels bad to keep all this to myselve so thought I'd share some pics of the Ferns that are really starting to get established around the patio. Ferns have now cracked my top 30 hobby list because I'm finally seeing RESULTS.


Here's some pics of Ferns that last year or two did NOT look like they were going to make it. Now? Looks like they might actually proliferate nicely!

1. Ostriches!

I expect there to be a few more of these next season. There some undergrowth happening and they can spread pretty well if I keep treating them well.

2. PAINTED




These are a lot trickier. I can count on two hands how many times it looked ill and like it was on the verge of dying. It's rebounding well right now. Gave it some misting sessions over the last few days. We got our Japanese crabapple tree treated for apple scab last fall and I think this fern didn't tolerate it very well. Planted a hydrangea upstream from this to help filter the draining water going forward.

More to come...


Ps if you have decent or even mid Fern game, please share your Ferns ITT!

It is soothing to care for my green friends with stems, really makes me slow down and just BE.

You know what I'm growing on my acreage. Not quite ferns but other volatile plants.

I'm not allowed to grow that in the state I was FORCED to move to.

Forced? As in handcuffs and shackles?

Idk I just found out this weekend that this happened to me when I checked in on ccs happenings

I wonder if @Montucky has any FULL SHADE houseplants that travel with him? ?

You’re in luck though because…

“Indiana is nationally ranked for agricultural production because of the highly productive Miami soils along with other prime farmland soils in the State. Prime farmland is land that is best suited for crop production. No other state has a higher percentage of prime farmland than Indiana.”

This is a MAIDENHAIR fern.

Very delicate. All that green is springing forth from one foot long skinny ass black stem. It's absolutely beautiful and very persnickity. There's second one coming up just to the right of this one but it's tiny this year.

Here's a side view:




Look at that slender, delicate stem holding up all them FRONDS!

With FRONDS like this, who needs enemas? Or something like that.

Is there an accusation you want to actually make here? Or are you just going to keep with these euphemistic comments. Because unlike your friend I'm very comfortable denying this nonsense. I won't equivocate the way your boy does.

FYI this thread is about FERNS. And of course I absolutely deny your lies about being a convicted sex offender, pedo, and pretty much any other weird assertions you've made about me since you joined and got mad because I don't like your whole vibe. Glad we can put an end to this.

So get back on topic, do you have any plant friends you nurture/care for?

Should I be making an accusation?
