Bing Cherries in Socal
Q
Comments (26)
Bing cherry with a couple flowers at its tips: This is only the second year it has been in the ground. Have a strange theory, I think what really helped is that the lower part of the tree gets some partial shade in Winter, with the sun being at a lower angle. The shade allows the lower part of the tree to accumulate more effective chill hours (because "chill" actually has more to do with daytime highs than nighttime lows). This means the lower part of the tree can start leafing out earlier, and this growth sends hormones out through the tree to help the upper branches start coming out of dormancy. I only count about 10 blossoms on it though, which is not surprising since Bing does have a very high chill requirement. My Rainier is loaded with blossoms though. This Winter was unusually cold for this area (zone 10, south of Los Angeles) so that probably helped. Spring time here tends to begin in late February. I do not see any bees coming out this early in the year, so if you're in this area you might have to do the cross pollination by hand if you want any cherries. I suspect the timing of the bees coming out has to do with what type of flowering plants are prevelent in this region, which is different than the rest of the country.

Mad Men-binge watching
Q
Comments (18)
Mad Men is eminently binge-able. A great story with some remarkable performances, and excellent production values. The entire series finished without our watching; then I ordered the first dvd from Netflix and that sat on the coffee table for several weeks. Then we watched a few episodes and were hooked! Same thing with Game of Thrones. Went through the entire ten years and never took a look, despite the brouhaha, until near the end of the last season. I'd always disliked fantasy, medieval stories, clanging swords, etc. I tried an episode, thinking "I'm going to hate this", but no, I loved it, albeit with my fingers over my eyes much of the time! (It's very violent) IMHO nothing can surpass it.

Something is binge-eating my garden
Q

Once again, I am not sure it is all the same issue on all the plants. I have never known weevils to bother ribes or for that matter, just about any other deciduous shrub or tree with the exception of bigleaf hydrangeas. Also, because the ribes is not evergreen, it makes perfect sense to have lost all its leaves from "bottom to top". But where treating for the weevils does apply, you are never going to get rid of them completely in areas with high existing populations and with plenty of natural cover. You will need to take a two-pronged attack, addressing both the larvae and the adult weevils. Beneficial nematodes are the typical suggestion for larval control and acephate for the adults. Nematodes are pricey and acephate is seriously toxic. Timing of applications is critical for both. IME and according to most literature, larval damage is limited primarily to containerized nursery stock.......and heucheras :-) Adult weevil damage - the notching of the edges of the leaves you see - is only cosmetic and of seldom any harm to the plant. For that reason and because they are extremely difficult to eliminate, most homeowners just ignore them.

What a beautiful baby! Congrats! I’m green with envy, we haven’t seen the grands in a year when the youngest was a newborn. Not sure when we’ll be able to visit normally again. Zoom and FaceTime are great but darn, I want to hug those little munchkins!

Well they left it a bit late methinks. The word Google seems as firmly associated with a search feature as Hoover is to vacuum cleaners or Singer to sewing machines.

Google results aren't what they used to be, but I can't put my finger on why.

If I recollection is correct, there was a time when Yahoo was the hot and popular search engine (with Google working in the background). That changed seemingly overnight. Probably will change again soon enough once the competition gets up to speed with some alternative algorithms. (And cuil.com was promising for about a nanosecond, but it stinks.)

Much of the search results you see in the Googles and Yahoo's, MSN, etc. comes from the same edited data in the open directory project ... DMOZ.org .

Occasionally I'll search the same things in google that I might search in Yahoo, which is my default/preferred search .. and will have a very near identical first page of results returned. I haven't tried with bing but I assume ... same deal, except for the more simple/cleaner bing pages right now.
