There are no mites, and we did start out very slowly with the outside access. We do a couple days at 2-3 hours on nice days, and then increase it by an hour or so every other day. Nothing happened until we put the fertilizer in there.
So... I did go ahead and repot this fella... I tried to get as much of the spike out as I could.. but it seemed like it was almost all disintegrated??? I just put it in there less than a week ago!
Ignore my dirty windows... I haven't had time to clean them yet this year! :oops:
This is my tree.... it looks so scraggly and I'm not sure what to do with it :\
So.. we took the plunge into potted lemon trees. Hubby bought a potted seedling, maybe a year old, from a woman at our local farmers market a couple of years ago. It's doing okay, not real bushy or anything, still hasn't flowered so no fruit as of this year.
Well, I was watching a video on...
Well only 3 crowns came up this year. Our chucked got in the bed and really made a mess of things! Tore out almost all of our strawberries, 2 of our rhubarb, and a couple of our asparagus! Dang birds! I really think I might need to put a cage around that bed. Lol
Oiy... so I guess we have already over harvested! I will tell hubby to stop cutting them! LOL
Yes.. what DO you feed them, with? They're in the bed with the strawberries and rhubarb!
So, last year we put in some asparagus crowns. It said that this year we could harvest sparingly.
How do you know what "sparingly" is? If you don't harvest it, it goes to seed, so what are you supposed to do with it??
Our new pear tree came in today. Hubby prepared the front for 2 rows of raspberries that we ordered as well. He wants to do raised beds for the raspberries with the red "cement" things around them so we can mow and weed eat around them to help keep the runners down. They can grow all over the...
These were some of my Irises last week. :) I'm going to have to see if I can get a picture of the Irises that JUST bloomed. They're so dark purple they look BLACK! I LOVE them! :)
Lets try that again!! LOL
Well... We finally got the rest of the garden in! Pumpkins, spaghetti squash, watermelon, cucumber, corn, tomatoes, green beans, sweet peppers, and radish! We've harvested asparagus a couple times already this week, tho I'm not sure how much we should harvest being the 2nd year. I've still got...
Yes! It would have been nice had they given us the males, but nooooo! All females. :idunno
In my daughters class, they really stacked the odds against her. The winner for her class was a full 10 pounds heavier than hers! I thought that they would have at least put similar sized birds in each...
Today we got all the paths filled, lifted the edges of the ones that had sank and filled THAT with the clay/sand that we're putting between the paths. I lined 2 beds with paper bags that needed to be filled, and then filled them to almost the top with compost. I've got 2 more beds that need...
I contacted my friend, who is the local master gardener for our county, showed her a picture of it and she said it wasn't salvageable. :hit
We already ordered a new 2-n-1 from Stark Bros, should be here next week. Should also bear fruit in 2-3 years, which is HALF the time as the others, and...
