Too late?
Q

I think it may be too late. It's not a huge investment, though, so why not try? I'd sprout them inside and move them outside as soon as they sprout-- they seem to grow faster outside. Also, moving them to a large container seemed to make them grow a lot faster for me.

White Dogwoods; I'd like mine to do better, and...
Q
Comments (2)
Something you may want to consider is that we have had very warm winters for the past few years. Baton Rouge was absolutely the farthest south in Louisiana that you could grow a dogwood 10 years ago. We are getting warmer, so much so that I will likely have to cut my peach tree this spring. I'm hoping for a good freeze this year to knock back the bananas (now 25 feet tall) and perhaps save the peach, but I'm not holding my breath. You have colder winters up there, but not by much, and it's likely just been too warm for an unestablished dogwood. If you've ever been to Clegg's nursery, I used to work there years ago and remember that they used to sell low chill hour apple trees (somewhat related to dogwoods if I remember correctly). You might give them a call and ask if they still do. If they do, as them how they have been holding up. If the apples are doing poorly, than likely the dogwoods won't do well either. An alternative small tree, although not with the same beautiful shape, would be a mayhaw. Clegg's probably sells them and they have beautiful white apple blossoms followed by small red fruit. My aunt makes some really great jelly out of them in the spring. In any case, good luck!

Where did he go?? HELP
Q

Sounds like something may have happened to the male. Feeding mealworms would NOT make him leave. The Mom can feed the babies on her own but will need help so don't stop feeding the mealworms. The babies should fledge around day 16-19 so if they are approx 10 days old, about another week+. She will also need extra help once they fledge though being the sole food provider for them. Another great thing you could feed them to help her out is crickets, not for the weak of heart though, you must pull the back legs off so they cannot jump out of the dish, Just grab the leg with a tweezers and it usually pops right off. I have also heard that putting them in the fridge for a bit slows them down but I have never tried that and I am not sure how quickly they become mobile again. Good luck, hopefully the male shows up but it could have been almost anything, a hawk, a cat, a car you just never know. Here is a link to a great site about Bluebirds and how to properly/safely host them and other native cavity nesting birds.

Don't want to bring roaches to the new apt.

Hello Check the moving boxes you will use (especially if they're cardboard). Throw out all dry foods (e.g., rice, pasta), although these tend to harbor bugs other than roaches :) Wash or shake out your curtains and blankets. Shake out your toaster. Here are some tips from another forum: Here is a link that might be useful: Thrifty Fun

You've 'arrived' on a beautiful, sunny day at my house, just north of Chicago along Lake Michigan. (Have you had a frost? Friends in Edmonton sent me photos of their last tomato harvest.)

Welcome, Teddy, from the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin where the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the trees are just starting their magnificent show. My son's name is Teddy, at least to me. But since he's 22 he goes by the more grown-up version of Ted.

Just a little bit about me, I am a senior and have three great children six grandchildren and five great grandchildren I belong to seniors club and volunteer for the local museum, and the Cancer society.I collect old china and glassware and frequent the local charity shops and like to go to go to garage sales.I am a two time cancer survivor and feel very blessed to have beaten it twice. My spouse was not so fortunate..I was raised on a farm and married to an oilman and moved around very often. Lived in Australia for two years. I live in a condo and have great neighbors and enjoy my life.
