I would probably take that plant right out of the. Citrus don't like to share nutrients, water and root space. Your tree looks dry or lacking in moisture. Have you ever let it dry out too much before? If just once then lot's of roots have passed and you need to watch your watering practices now. If your tree was taking up moisture correctly, it should be fine in the hot sun as long as that pot is not over heating..Have you ever felt the side of that pot in the full sun? I know that dark porclean can get very hot and cook your roots. Have you tried using aluminum foil or a light colored cloth of some sort wrapped around the pot? You could also use the pot in pot method. Have you checked to see whether bugs are sucking the moisture out of your leaves? Have you been watering so as to flow out from the bottom since you are fertilizing? What kind of mix are you using and how often do you have to water? Is it porous or hard like? That other plant tells me that something is wrong with your citrus roots since that plant is so healthy looking. Check the roots out and do a few corrections and see what happens and welcome from across the pond! MIke

Tis' interesting that others in very different growing areas are having the same experience. My plants are huge, with little produce evolving. Finally had 3 tomatoes turn this week, there are dozens waiting, growing, but all green. And I just picked 3 cucumbers with no sign of more to come. Our weather dropped from high 90s (no rain) for a month to high 60s this week and downpours. I didn't check the low temps, usually drops 20 degrees at night. Even with the change, the garden had plenty of time to produce. With Sept. 2 weeks away and not unusual to see snow during the month, I just don't have a lot of hope for the garden. The norm would be to clear the garden mid Sept. Even my neighbor mentioned that half of the seeds she planted (flower/veggies) never grew, which was the same with me. We are not novices, lush gardens are the norm. What is up with all of this?

That's neat the way you put up the little fence sections around the beds. Very pretty Linda. I'll be watching for the next set of pictures. Leslie

Tulips? I'm not sure coz I've never let these grow to the point of seeing flowers. I bought the house 2 years ago, had a new lawn laid down last year, I can't remember any tulips before that. And I didn't find any bulbs when I ripped these things up. How do I get rid of them permenantly?
