last years butterbeans were less than I hoped
Comments (6)Last year was a poor year for my butterbeans, and my eggplant as well. Those of us in the North and Northeast had heavy rains in late May & early June which delayed planting, and there seemed to be some other factor at work... perhaps more cloudy days in early summer. There were many threads on GW last year regarding difficulty with eggplant... and since both eggplant & limas prefer similar conditions, perhaps the problems were at least partially climate-related. I don't know if Atlanta experienced those rains last year, but they could have been a factor... if they delayed planting. Did the butterbeans flower earlier, but not set pods? If so, excessive heat may have caused blossom drop. I also agree with Sandy, when someone talks of "beautiful plants" but no pods, the first thing I suspect is too much nitrogen present in the soil. Any combination of these (and other factors) may have caused the poor yield. Of course, this was also a new variety... perhaps it simply was not adapted to your conditions, or was weak by nature (like one large lima that I tried last year). Have I got you thoroughly confused yet? ;-) Hopefully something here will ring a bell....See MoreDouble Delights are less fragrant this year than last year
Comments (11)I find my DDs lose color in heat and get it back in cooler weather. Hot temps and lots of sun seems to drain color from my DDs as they recycle and the blooms mature faster. The hot temps and sun also seems to evaporate the fragrant oils faster. August days and nights were really hot with lots of sun, That's when I noticed the lack of color and fragrance. It's seems to run in cycles from year to year. I had a problem with my watering system about the same time also....See MoreRosemary Bush Died In Less Than A Week
Comments (6)From your description of how it died (center out with browning leaves) it does sound like root-rot. Did you use a different type of soil than previously? The soil could have more of a clay consistency that held water better than the previous. Or, it could have been a weaker plant that was more susceptible to start with. I baby my potted rosemary like crazy, but the larger "tree" that I purchased still semi-died. All the new growth since I got it is fine, but the original is gone. It's an interesting experiment....See MoreLess Than Two Weeks To Go
Comments (8)dcarch, oh yes, Tortilla Pinwheels/Roll Ups are very sophisticated lol. The garlands are finished and today I bought some items for Rocky Horror themed gift/thank you/prop bags. I bought lip shaped whistles, beaded necklaces, star shaped sunglasses, and neon colored twist shape bracelets. I was going to get feather boas but Hobby Lobby and Michaels didn't have them on sale and were way to expensive to buy for 10 people. I know tomorrow there's supposed to be a bad snowstorm, but then the temps are going to go back up into the 40's, thank goodness. Keeping my fingers crossed that from next Thursday-onward it is milder weather. Brad AKA Moonwolf...See Moreilovemytrees
