Thank you for the information to dum dum me about the tagline. If it were a snake it would have...
When are you moving?
Ooops — I missed the opportunity to reply B’Gosh! Welcome!
We close on July 19. Then move whenever the company is ready, which depends on the completion of the building there. It is supposed to be about the middle of Aug. Target date to reopen the company is Monday, Aug 30. We are ready!
Thanks for the great pictures. I wish everybody has a safe and happy Fourth of July! I will be happily munching on cherry tomatoes, Jericho lettuce, and enough basil to make my first batch of pesto! The cucumbers continue to be tiny and non flowering. Several gardeners in the neighborhood said they are having similar problems. Must be something going around inhibiting cucumbers
In my garden I use the MG exclusively after I have planted and plants and they look like they need a drink of fert. I apply the 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 and till it in when I first prepare the garden in early spirng.
Remember also that my garden is covered with landscape fabric so the MG, applied by hand, is the best method to feed the plants for me.
Did you get rain from Alex?
My summer squash did beautifully and we’ve had plenty, but with the rise in temps they plants began drooping then the production is now almost nill. Zuccinis did fine, but now none. Radishes flourished, will plant more when the weather cools.
My weeping rose is putting out blooms, but the branches are still straight out, they’ll begin growing though. I’ve picked many suckers growing from the root. How do I stop that, if there’s a way.
During the times that we have been out there, I have been looking at possible garden sites. The property is very shady, but I think that I see an area at the very rear of the property that may get enough sun for a veggie garden. The rest of the yard, ....well, we are going to have to learn about shade plants, a new experiance for us. But, my wife gets a beautiful, mature, magnolia tree that she has always wanted.
OK! I have my marching orders for the day.
I have a wild peach tree in the back yard. The peaches are small with white flesh. The tree is FULL of peaches. We had a terrific rain and wind. Peaches all over the ground. Today we’re raking them up. But the peaches are just as sweet as can be. This is the first year it has produced more than the squirrels could eat.
It is good to here that your tomatoes have not been infected.
Nice to hear you finally got some rain. I was expecting some rain from Alex but it just turned into popcorn showers here and there and I have had to water.
Now it is time to go out and take care of all this...there is only one of me; my wife will probably find me dead amongst the plants some day.
But I will have a smile on my face. :-)
Why do my Fireworks photos never look that good?
I was informed early this morning that I have single handedly killed or stunted 80% of my life mate’s flowers on the deck. She has accused me of overdoing the Slug Bait in the pots and it looks like I could be on bread and wine for the rest of the year...
Where is your community garden located?
“...and not practiced good garden culture.”
If *I* ran the world, that would be a criminal offense, punishable by shoveling out the chicken coop on a 90-degree, 90% humidity Wisconsin summer day! :)
“This year it was covered with plums but they have almost all fallen off before ripening. What is the matter with it? HELP!”
This is usually a pollination problem. When the tree isn’t pollinated completely, it will still start to produce fruit but then will ‘abort’ the fruit becuse the tree knows it isn’t going to be any good.
Did you have a late frost? I did. After 90-degree days in April! Everything bloomed early, then we got a frost, so I have NO FRUIT this season. Nothing! No peaches, apples, plums or cherries. Grrrrr!
Luckily, I can still find my grocery store, LOL!
...finally learned how to pronounce the ‘Stupice’ variety of tomato the other day. Man, I wasn’t even CLOSE.
