Removing Multiflora and Planting Something Else There?
Comments (20)Round Up can work as a stump killer but there are others out there which work better/faster. RU absorbs into tissues and destroys chlorophyll. It's most effective applied to soft tissue, but has an effect allowed to absorb into the holes in a stump. If you were killing Algerian Ivy, spraying it on wouldn't work due to the waxy cuticle on the leaves and stems. Wounding it as Anita suggested to create tissue which doesn't have the waxy skin so the stuff soaks in, works very well. Using those stems/canes as "straws" or "wicks" to draw the solution out of a container full of the preparation works wonders! It's actually part of the instructions on the super concentrate (as opposed to the garden use concentrate) for use on woody vines, ivy, poison oak/ivy, etc. I've used it on very mature, enormous Prickly Cucumber that way with great results. Spraying them worked, too, but required four applications. If it will knock this stuff down, it will work on anything! Applying it with a hose end sprayer, I've killed the regrowth from a huge California Pepper (three foot trunk) we couldn't have removed from the hill due to the steep slope and too loose soil. Nasty stuff but it kills many EVIL plants. Kim Here is a link that might be useful: Prickly Cucumber...See Moreanyone else BUYING annuals??!!
Comments (9)I bought some annuals before we went on vacation and then again about two weeks ago. Lowes had their Pansies marked down to 50 cents a 6-pack the beginning of July, so I snatched them up. They also had a "dying plant rack" that had a red Verbena on it in a large hanging planter. I snatched that up. I think I paid 2 bucks for it, and got a bonus dark purple Wave Petunia out of it because they had stuck that in there to make the planter look fuller. And then, I had to do my yearly "save a Gerbera Daisy" thing. I have yet to have one of them bloom for me, despite bringing them in over winter and nursing them. But I'm going to crack the secret yet! Then, while at Walmart, without my husband, you KNOW I had to go look at plants. I picked up two Cordylines for a buck and a half each, and then MORE Wave Petunias that were red (because I think I lost my WS container of red). They were marked down too, and I'm hoping for reseeders on the Petunias. Since I'm doing a lot of summer sowing, I hope it keeps me away from any more garden centers.

Comments (6)I have two Rhodies that have been languishing and declining for a few years. This was surprising because the native soil here is acid and drains well, the things that Rhodies like. I finally figured it out, at least in my circumstance. Rhodies are noted for having fine, silky roots, that are pretty shallow in the soil. That makes them fussy about moisture and leaves them at a disadvantage when it comes to competition for nutrients. I finally realized that my Rhodies are struggling to compete with the underplantings that have steadily increased their presence over the years (Epimedium rubrum and Vinca minor). Both are very aggressive, successful plants and they're sucking up the nutrients and available moisture, leaving the Rhodies struggling to maintain a meagre exisitence. And suffering mightily. I have to cull the groundcovers and want to relocate the Rhodies to a more isolated location before they fold their tents and give up the ghost. In my case it's not a question of culture, it's a question of having the perfect culture usurped by seemingly innocuous, but nonetheless aggressive competition....See MoreAnyone else excited about their spring garden?
Comments (32)I'm getting out of control! I just ordered another, bigger, blueberry bush - Semi-Dwarf Northland, a Pixie Crunch dwarf apple tree, and some Purple Passion asparagus starts! I wanted to hold off on the asparagus since I don't even have the ground ready yet and since it lasts 20+ years, I need to put it in the right spot from the get-go, but I couldn't resist. I almost bought some strawberry plants but I don't have room for what I already have yet so I told myself, stop!! Deanna - I have a marseilles fig and I love it. I grow mine in a pot and put it in the garage every winter and the next spring it leafs out and grows fine. The buds on mine just broke this past week as a matter of fact. It's now on my back, 3-season porch waiting for the temps to warm a little bit more before I move it out onto the deck. My grandfather used to bury his fig every year and my brother does that with his, but I'd rather keep it in the pot and just take it in. Altho it's getting a little big now. I'm going to have to keep it at the size it's at now if I want to still be able to take it in every year! My back is going to be killing me by the time I get all that lawn dug up and the veggie bed in order! I always bite off more than I can chew every spring and you'd think I'd learn by now, but I never do!! The next spring I'm doing the same thing again! Lisa...See More- 9 years ago
