i thought i had a great lawn until this came up? Arrghh
Comments (6)It was getting dark, there was Vaseline on the lens, and I couldn't hold the camera still ;-) It is either KBG grass seed or...something else. Maybe rye or fescue. Did you recently raise your mower height? Sometimes grass goes to seed if you go 2 weeks without mowing. Unless someone can id those as weeds, I would not worry about it. It could just as easily be poa. If it was poa I think you would have seen it much earlier....See MoreI thought this was an Adenium I think I was wrong!
Comments (4)No, the plant has just managed to survive me. I have kept it in leaf all winter, I have allowed it to go dormant during winter, I have sun scalded it and it just keeps doing it's thing. Hopefully now I can get the right combination and maybe be rewarded finally with a flower or two. I was worried that I had stunted it's growth but now I find it is just a slow grower. It is nice to know these things. Again Joscience, thanks so very much!...See MoreJust when I thought I had a handle on figs...
Comments (1)The fig was exhausted,growing the fruits last year. It did not have energy to fight transplant shock. For now place shade over the Peter Honey,and make sure the soil is moist but not wet....See MoreI thought I had my waterproofing plan, but...
Comments (4)Here I am, fighting the tryptophan! Except for a few areas of the Deep South and southwestern deserts, basement insulation is recommended across the continental US. Source: U.S. Department of Energy--Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy But say you don't care, whatever the reason. Then, unless you are in the far, far North, poly on a basement wall--top to bottom--is an invitation for moisture problems. Your basement feels dry now because the uncovered walls are permitting drying both to the exterior and interior, depending on the season. Once you apply poly to the wall, you are inhibiting the outward drive--warm to cold during the heating season. But in the summer, the drive to the interior is trapping moisture behind the poly and while some of it may condense and run to the floor, much will not and will feed mould growth on the wood and masonry walls. Note too that this simplified view ignores the fact that: 1) the poly will not be a perfect vapour barrier; and 2) other mechanisms of vapour transport--groundwater leakage and capillary wicking-- will short-circuit the tightest poly barrier.
