What to do with plants? Ground frozen
Q
Comments (4)
I had to break up the ice in front of my shed to get in. Most of the snow has thawed now, but 10 inches expected, and cold weather again. I have 2 blueberries from Bay Laurel. I put them in pots, and in the south window. Well they are outside right now, it's kinda warm today and cloudy, so start the acclimation Also a blackberry stick, is in the south window, The blueberries are in about 5 gallon pots, they will stay in there this year. I knew they were coming as I signed up for the free UPS service that alerts you to deliveries. Plus Bay Laurel sent info too. One blueberry had a weak root system, I'm a little worried it will not make it. The other is great! Yeah the weak one looks like the soil was wet too long, and when it got here most of the roots were ripped away from the plant in the mail, or rotted from too much water. So it's hurting big-time. The other was just moist not soaked and was fine. I have the proper mycorrhizae fungi for blueberries, so applied it, hopefully it will help the plant recover. I'll also add beneficial bacteria when I have more plants to apply it too. I can put the extra in the garden, but it has to be growing season! I don't know how much the beneficial bacteria really help, but they are cheap, and certainly can't hurt. I'm trying bacteria as fungicides this year too. Actinovate is the product.

Can I leave my elephant ear outside?
Q
Comments (0)
I have bought a couple of elephant ears last summer, and I have overwintered them indoors. The package says hardy to 15 degrees F. Tonight it's going to go down to 40*F and tomorrow night + the night after + the night after that, temps are supposed to reach 26*F + 27*F and then 27*F again before finally going to 34*F. They overwintered perfectly last night for elephant ears who have been indoors with themperatures at 70*F all winter long, with some wilting maybe even some defoliation, when temperatures went down to maybe 25 or less. I don't know just how far though. Before finally bringing them in for the winter, they dealt with temperatures down to 28*F and have recovered as if no frost ever happened. It was really awesome. Now, enough of my bragging, how far down can they go in a pot? Can they go down to 27*F for two nights in a row, with highs at 47 (day 1) 37 (day 2) and 35 (day 3)? Will they be fine or will they die? So, help is appreciated. Thanks.

It's Halloween in my garden!!
Q

I stayed up late last night (for me) covering some bush beans, which have just started producing lots of beans. I also picked any ripe winter squash and all sizable summer squash. I cut my Chile Rayado pepper plants and moved them into our shed. I bet those five plants had over 20 lb of peppers on them. I couldn't help myself. In spite of the deluge of hot peppers, I had to retrace my steps, between the pepper patch and the shed, picking up, perhaps a hundred peppers which had fallen off the plants, while in transit. I didn't get to cover tomato plants. There just wasn't time and energy for that. Our Black Cherry plants are loaded with fruit. If they survive the next two days I suspect we'll harvest quite a few. However, at 5 AM its 32 F here in Tahlequah. Temps will drop a few more degrees before the sun gets up. George Tahlequah, OK

You gals must have more free time than I do lately. I'm trying to get some afghans finished for Christmas and I am working on them every spare minute.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy seeing all your little treasures!

There's that Humming bird myardor couldn't see in my Google Earth photo. Thanks Teri & Urlee, love both of yours also. Judy, I just decided to make some time, I told you all how rusty I've become with PSP. But with the holidays just around the corner I will also be busy. Next project is to make about 100 mini Hershey wrappers, to bring to Thanksgiving dinner.

I finally took a break and tried Debs tut. I had it almost done and my computer froze so I had to start over!
I hate when that happens.

Now it is time to get back to crocheting. I have 2 more to finish before Christmas!!
