Fall Color In Dawn Redwood...worth taking cuttings?
Comments (21)Hmm, looks a bit more red than normal..... If you do take cuttings.. you can do it the way instructed above.. or sometimes I take cuttings of the new growth around june or july.. basically each individual branch has opposite arrangement of short shoots (pic 2 shows the shoots I am referring too, just at take the cuttings at the beginning of the season) Each of these shoots can be cut at the start of the branch, dipped in rooting hormone, and planted in a shady area, with dappled sunlight.. they should root within a few weeks. I have always had success this way. Best of luck! J...See MoreFranke cutting boards worth the cost?
Comments (11)I have a Franke professional series 30" wide 12" deep. The best sink I have ever owned. It holds everything from large sheets to stock pots and no more water splashing all over !. Practically every dish I own fits in it so tonight I will leave them and load the DW in the morning. You cannot go wrong with any Franke sink....what was the question ? oh yeah, I thought about the cutting board but decided to do the reveal flush not positive. I find the grid very useful for draining sieves or cups and glasses. I think the constant moving of the cutting board off the sink would bother me. I decided to spend that money on a thick Chinese round board. After you get the sink installed and figure out your usage you can always order it later from a plumbing supply dealer....See MoreA tick idea worth trying
Comments (20)The price of the Tick Twister, at $11.99 per two, a small and a large (with free shipping on orders over $35.00) ... nearly made my hair stand on end. I was lucky, I guess, for someone gave one to me, free, a year or so ago ... and it works. But ya gotta catch 'em right away! I'd like to remember the circumstances where some of this stuff happens, as I'm getting really forgetful. I've found either two or three, while they were tickling during travel (theirs - not mine). The trouble is, you have to drop them on a hard surface, and hit 'em hard with a thumbnail ... or they just walk away, laughing at you. I wonder whether there was one dug in on my back the other day ... or was it just a funny feeling nigh to a small mole? Meant to ask son to investigate when we were together ... but forgot. I felt that I was more or less graduated from rubber boots to shoes, one with a flapping sole/soul, repaired with duct tape - that "sole" that is ... though sometimes I wonder whether my soul may do a bit of flapping, as well. Darn duct tape wears through, and last night the whole cap on the front of one shoe dropped off ... so I was doing more seeding with the flapping sole digging in the dirt (or, hanging down, threatening to trip me while walking over strings strung high over low spots part way through their 40 paces' length). Will have to check through the old shoes to see whether I can find a replacement. Oh, but - I figure that I'd better return to using the rubber boots: yeah, that's the tick-et, uncomfortable though that is. I'd like to find a means of tying my coveralls tight around my ankles, but have been wearing pressure socks, same three pairs for about 5 years, and wear a pair of regular socks over them, but have resisted tucking the long johns into the top pair, as I want to avoid further constriction. The rubber boots'll help alleviate that problem. But when I'm travelling on hands and knees along the ground, with hands in the dirt while digging holes, seeding and covering, plus in some cases building a mounded ring of dirt around the site to retain the water ... it's happy day for ticks! A couple of elastic arm bands should deter them from crawling up into the inside of the sleeves. Don't want to add more load to my body, that has a fight on its hands as it is. Hope you're all having a great day. ole joyfuelled ... who has a lot of ground yet to seed ... and a lot of seeds yearning to enter it ... and about to buy more today...See MoreIs this worth a shot, or a bad idea
Comments (16)Good luck. I would try chip budding as well as grafting. I have tried both and never succeeded at grafting, but did succeed at chip budding. The good thing about chip budding is you can do multiple "chips" on one stem so you have more chances of it taking. Here is a great tutorial on how to do it that worked out for me: http://scvrs.homestead.com/BuddingUltimate.html The best advice I can give you for chip budding is to be sure you make contact with green on green. Meaning, when you cut off the bud be sure to leave as much green and less white and when you attach to the root stock make sure there is contact completely, green tissue to green tissue. This was the one thing no one mentioned in any of the reading I had done that was the most essential. (Well, I finally did end up reading it somewhere, but by then I had lost 100 cuttings LOL)....See MoreHouseofsticks
