2nd Year Newbie Questions about planning my garden this year.
Comments (3)Welcome back to the wonderful world of gardening! :) (I'm in a happy mood because all of my crocus are blooming!) Without going into too much detail, rotating is used mainly for two reasons: to help prevent the build-up of disease and to help avoid depletion of the soil of certain substances. Any basic gardening (vegetable) book will usually go into detail. But essentailly it boils down to moving plants so that you don't grow the same types of plant in a spot year after year. I started listing what shouldn't go where, but really it is easier if you look in a book. Or online. But corn next to lettuce isn't a problem, whereas peppers where your tomatoes were last year might be. Cheers!...See MoreMy Forsythias blooms are a huge fail this year. Why?
Comments (6)Good morning! I attached a picture of one of the shrubs, I don't know if it'll help or not, but it will show the bottom, where on one side, it bloomed. I fertilized twice, once at the time of planting, and then once a couple weeks later like the directions said, and that was it. I used Miracle-Gro Liquid Quick Start. I am so glad that if the flower buds are damaged that at least the leaf buds will be okay. These are Lynwood Gold Forsythias. I am dying to cut a small piece off to see if it will bloom, but if it's already under stress, I don't want to push it over the edge. P.S Please excuse all the rocks, the rocks outside the fence were for vole protection (which was useless for our Burning Bushes) and the rocks around the shrub were for mulch. We're going to be clearing out all the rocks and putting in cedar mulch, once we get a day warmer than 50 degrees on the weekend.....See MoreFailed to keep my New Year's Resolution....again
Comments (4)Squirrelypete, I thought your resolution was to email me your misting box plans before fall, lol :) I did not make any new years resolutions for plants. A few years ago I made a permanent decision to try and grow anything that can grow from seed, that I would like to have in my garden, from seed. Anything I do not have success with, or can't grow from cuttings (both hard or too slow) I will buy. This has worked like a charm! GGG...See MoreSeems to be a good year for my Persimmon...
Comments (7)Hi Ed: It was probably about 5 or 6 feet high. A bean pole tree from Southern States for about $40. I was able to fit it into my car. Hi Sam, I don't really know anything about the sex life of Fuyu. But many of these seem to have a few black, thin seeds (probably not viable) with an occasional plump seed. Fuyus are self-pollinating, so no need for another tree. But there are probably numerous persimmons in our region as there is a high Asian population who LOVE their persimmons like I do! So that maybe why I am seeing seeds. One can eat these fruit before they turn yellow, more crunchy then, like an unripe pear in texture, but I prefer them more ripe, then more like a cantelope....See Morehaileybub(7a)
