Lost my pear tree
Comments (25)Trim the broken parts from you pear tree leaving clean cuts. It may survive but it won't be like its former self for at least 10 years. Also, it may begin to rot from the severe wounds. If this was a grafted tree, it appears that all the damage is elevated well above the graft....See MoreLadies, do you have trouble buying pants?
Comments (30)I don't think it is the spandex that causes the elastic waist pants to stretch our of shape. I bought them before spandex and they still stretched to much. I bought a pair of elastic waist jeans at Walmart a couple of months ago because I couldn't zip up my reg jeans. They fit when I put them on, but later you could get two of me in them. My reg jeans with spandex do not stretch like the elastic ones do....See MoreObservations on white pants
Comments (46)I once got some white pants. Nice tunic top to go with, got a lot of compliments that day. Was a risky move for me because I am a spiller, but I was careful. Then, later in the afternoon, my boss said, "I don't want you to think I'm staring at your behind, but it looks like you have ketchup on the back of your pants." Yes, my entire life I have managed not to sit in ketchup, except for the day I wore white pants to work. And I'm not even sure how I sat in ketchup other than I ate my lunch at one of the tables in the student lounge and one of the chairs must have had ketchup on it. And ketchup is not an easy stain to remove! So now, my rule of white pants is: "If you wear white pants, you WILL sit in ketchup."...See MorePrickly Pear Prickles!
Comments (33)My O. guimillo died of cold and moisture. Many of the cold hardy cactus from Utah, Nevada and colorado did not do well. I once read that many of cold hardy cactus from those areas will only perform well in Z 7 and colder.I did not listen. I am in zone 8b and when I put these cactus in the ground here, they struggle. They seem to do well in pots but not in the ground. I think they need the cold hours that TexR has in Oklahoma to make them more dormant in winter. I have more success with cactus that originate from the Big Bend , Arizona, and southern New Mexico.Big bend is the best because they historically will get some rain events in winter (and summer). After 2 horrid years (for cactus), the more southern cactus (O. macrocentra, O. violacia) that also developed rot fell over and re rooted and is growing back, The northern ones just rotted completely. O. cacanpa is a texas variety and extremely moisture tolerant. O. leucotricha is a maybe for cold but good on moisture. O . robusta is hardy to about 17F and no moisture. ALL the robusta in my neighborhood died after a bad freeze a week after a good rain.If a big freeze is coming < I cut these back take in the pads and wrap the stump. Insurance. Ones in San Antonio have done fine. A couple of degrees warmer and a day less of cold than us. We get wild swings of temperatures in the winter here. The cold does not stay. O englemanni and O. lindheimeri (native to here) are good and the cow tongue englemani is great and will take cold and moisture in the ground but will ultimately be too large for a raised bed. They get huge when happy. They grow in unammended clay in Austin. Cylindropuntia imbricata texas form is very moisture tolerant where as the C. imbricata colorado form looks like hell now that I have it in the ground for three years. I have just torn it out. Cylindropuntia whipplei has not died and grows slow, but thick. It did not die with the huge floods that we have been getting but they look nothing like Tex's. Growing cactus and PPoutside is all about where you are, so look around at people in your area that have cactus gardens and find out what works in your zone and what is their sound prep. Get a hold of your C & S society. There is a good book , "Cacti and Succulents for Cold Climates" on cactus for cold hardy areas by Leo Chance Another , but harder to find is Growing Winter Hardy Cacti in cold?wet Conditions " by John Spain...See Moredeegw
