Can someone help me before I lose my garden?
Comments (10)Your plants are all showing signs of interveinal chlorosis (lack of chlorophyll between the veins of the leaves) which is almost always due to an imbalance of or lack of nutrients and micro-nutrients combined with excess watering. What and how much and how often have you fed them, what was your initial soil analysis results, and how often and how much have you been watering them? I would suggest a good feeding of a well balanced fertilizer, preferably a liquid one for quick uptake, and one with a good level of micro-nutrients such as boron, zinc, calcium, etc. Then a reduction in watering. You should see a rapid improvement in the color of the plants. Keep in mind that infrequent deep watering during hot, dry spells is much better for the plants than frequent shallow watering is. Frequent shallow watering encourages shallow root growth, poor nutrient uptake, and stressed plants. Hope this helps. Dave...See MoreBees on my Hummingbird Feeder~~Someone help me!
Comments (23)that would depend on where the nest is. if in the ground she'd have a good chance for survival & might stay put. if in an open nest or say an abandoned bird house she'd need to seek a warmer location. if you can locate the nest destroy it after spraying them or when they've gone dormant. if in the ground get a gallon of a good pesticide & mix it in a bucket with some liquid dish soap & pour it into the hole with a funnel. do this after they've gone dormant or if you have a problem nest during the warmer weather pour the mix in at night. wear long pants & sleeves, a hat, gloves, & cover your face with a bandana. pour it quickly & run like h**l. I know some will poo-poo this but gasoline or diesel fuel in a ground nest works too. if you're not up to it call a pro. yellow jackets & hornets can be quite aggressive . anyone in the St Louis area can contact me for swarm captures & bee removals from buildings & trees. this would be for honeybees only. 99.999 % of the calls I get after mid august are usually yellow jackets....See MoreHelp me understand my agent
Comments (39)Thanks guys. Well, yesterday's people came back again today. Again - over an hour late. Again, the buyer's agent called the office notify us of the delay, and again.. I wasn't notified. Oh well. They spent about 25 minutes in the house, and raced off to other appointments they were also late for. Haven't heard anything back yet, but I'm not obsessing over it either. We have 2 more showings tomorrow evening, and if these people come back for a 3rd time, it's all good. We replaced the screen on the slider door tonight, and I got a quote and hired someone to refinish the deck.. that will be done this week. The previous owners painted it with latex and it's peeling off. It's not hideous, but a bit of an eyesore compared to the rest of the house. I think it will be $700 well spent. I was out weeding my gardens and had to trim the grass growing around my For Sale sign. That kinda made me sad. jy_md - I have no problem with the amount of showings we're getting, and I do think our home is adequately marketed. My only issue is the lack of communication, and him not being reachable half the time. Of course, at this point I'm sure he considers me a colossal PITA and can't wait to sell it just to be rid of me ;) marys1000 mentioned "If now that you've lowered your price you still don't get a nibble I'd wonder if he's not working with the other agents well? " Which brings me to a new issue, and I think there may be some truth to that. Our neighbours across the court (ones who started out FSBO then listed with an agent, and subsequently sold 5 days later) were over talking to us (they're rooting us on big time, bless their hearts) was telling us their agent (from a different realtor) knows of our agent, and knows a few people who have closed deals with him - and he's apparently not very good to work with. Again, unreachable, and when the going gets tough, he shoves things off onto other people. Not sure how much truth there is in that, but it might explain why, out of 30+ showings and 30+ agents, the agents are for some reason pushing their clients to other houses. This is a question HE'S also pondered, but didn't have an answer for. If there's any truth to what we've heard, that may be our answer. I don't know, but I just have that sinking feeling in my stomach that we made a very bad choice, and it's a lesson well learned. Anyway, tomorrow is a new week. Onward........See Morehelp me solve my rose problem...please help!!!
