La Nina - more drought?
Comments (1)It seems like I have to water more now because of el nino, because my plants got adjusted to high water volumes. It's hard to wean them off all that water without having some of them curl up and die. I just a lost another pansy plant today....See MoreAccudean Winter 2007-08 Preview
Comments (6)Unfortunately once past Dec 10-15 there is little hope for substantial precip until after mid-February. Years with ocean and weather patterns most similar to this one rank in the top 12 driest over the past 113 years. 1949-50 and 54-55 are those years. One hope exists in what happened in 54-55. 16.8" of snow fell. A decent snow would help offset dry weather by how it melts slowly. Who is Accudean? That question comes from an long break from participating in the forum. I have missed it and hopefully my climate knowledge will be helpful as it was in 2005-06. I post about the climate postings and enjoy reading all of the terrific gardening tips from others. Dean...See MoreKeep those heads up!!! You too....that means you! : p
Comments (14)You are spot on about the weather forecasters. I don't think they can predict the next day let alone the entire season. The best they can do is look to the western sky and say ... it sure looks like a rain cloud coming our way. In other words they can predict this afternoon with some accuracy. haha. It's my understanding that a high pressure system parked over the southeast is not only keeping it dry but preventing hurricanes from forming. On one hand its good that we're not getting gigantic killer storms, but on the other hand we're drying up like the Sahara Desert. hmmmmm. What is that called... the Yin and Yang? Now it applies to the weather....See MoreCedrus starting to grow, should I repot it now?
Comments (6)are the roots twisting round and round??? i think it can be done .... you need a good new media for a tree ... you would do it all.. unwinding the roots.. etc ... and then place it in full shade for a couple months .. maybe the whole hot season ... after it settles down ... the greenery can be in sun ... but not the pot.. as it has to potential to get too hot ... small plants are much more malleable .. than huge ones.. in this regard ... if this is some expensive or valuable plant .... i might do things differently ... ken...See More41 North (Zone 7a/b, NE, coastal)
