Comments (25)I can't bring myself to photograph them, but most of my roses look like HoovB's example. The biggest bloom ever, here, for R. banksia lutea was dried to tiny yellow crisps. And while poor "Grandmother's Hat" and "De la Vina Mystery" keep pumping out blooms, they turn into potpourri as they open. :-( Secret Garden Musk Climber has produced a massive blast of white blooms -- but don't look to closely . . . the dry air has crisped the lovely once-yellow stamens. "Historic Powell House" (?'Baronne Prevost'?) is a rare bright spot, and I sure welcome it....See Morecan clementine 'cutie' produce without hot summer
Comments (3)The Clementine unlike most citrus is not self pollinating. You will need another variety of orange/tangerine to pollinate it. You can spray it with Gibberellic acid and it will make fruit if you can't find a pollenizer. Another citrus that is sweet and can produce on its own is the Satsuma Mandarin. These are self fruiting and will grow even in very low temps. There are several different cultivars of the Satsuma. Most have very few to no seeds. I have 2 trees and neither have seeds. The ones I grow are the Owari and the Okitsu Satsuma. Both deliciously sweet and very early producers. Andi...See MoreVeggies That Produced Well....And Those Which Didn't
Comments (1)Dawn, sounds like you had a good year, all things considered! Our spring/summer garden was fairly pitiful. The only thing that produced was salad greens, walking onions, and garlic. We got only a gallon or ywo of summer squash before it went kaput. Tomatoes never did get it right after the rainy setbacks but we did get a decent flush this fall, enough for several days of good eating. Melons, not so much. Beans & cukes were a complete bust. The fall garden is seems to be doing better. Peas, cabbages, and cukes are showing promise, summer squash has just started putting lots of goodies, and salad greens are up a almost ready to start cutting. Walking onions and herbs are doing well now and I'll be setting out the garlic before much longer. The chiles finally started taking off in late summer so we've had a decent harvest of those and they're continuing. Spring = Fail. Fall = Much Better. Diane...See Morehot hot hot
Comments (6)I'm in southern AZ and it's been hot here too. Supposed to be 106 Monday, and it probably won't cool down for the rest of the summer! I rigged something up this afternoon, so I don't know how well it's going to work out. I got a sun shade that is 10 ft by 10 ft sold in the camping section at target for 39.99. Basically tent-like poles with a vinyl cover on the top. I was afraid the vinyl ccover would be too much shade, and would make it into a great sail when the winds picked up, so I used burlap to cover the top. The burlap lets filtered light through and air, and I'm hoping it won't catch the wind. We also left the bottom legs off of it, so it's maybe 5-6 ft tall rather than 8 ft something. I was afraid our homowners association would pitch a fit if it was too high. This way it barely pokes above our wall. If anyone else has a better plan for something pretty affordable, I'd love to hear about it!...See Moremyermike_1micha
