Is Golden Celebration a slow starter?
Q

Many many thanks! This is very reassuring. GC does get rave reviews everywhere. He's definitely worth the wait till he leaps. Strawberryhill - My GC is in partial shade & has been kept moist since I put him in the ground. Except for when it rained, I watered every 2-3 days in the past couple of months (winter is quite warm & dry in Israel, though this year was relatively rainy). I just LOVE watering so it was real fun. Jeri - after reading your post I contacted the nursery. They said all their bare roots are budded to what they described as wild rose stock. They wouldn't specify which & I didn't want to press them. On their website they describe GC as a climber of up to 3 metres (which is why he got to be in the company of the Edens).

MTD runs away downhill. Bad belts? or bad Trans?
Q
Comments (8)
I seriously doubt there is anything going on that a new set of belts will not solve (replace both at same service). Is this the first time you have considered changing the belts? Or have the belts been changed previously? If the belts have 200 hours on them, they have survived longer than I would have expected, especially with your description of hilly operation. Likely what is happening is just belt slippage that is exaggerating the normal "free rotation" or "slack" in all the various places inside the transmission gear train. ALL gear reduction power trains exhibit the characteristic of having some loose motion when the gears are rotated against each other. Where you have many meshing points in a transmission, the effect of this "backlash" at each point where gears mesh together is "additive", meaning that at little here and a little there all add up to a lot of looseness in the sum/total. Normally, this sum of backlash causes no strange sensations or actions because the load being transmitted through the gear train is in a single direction. This keeps all the gears in contact with each other under constant pressure on just one specific face of all the gear teeth (cogs). The point of contact will not change so long as the load is kept constant and evenly applied, as is the case when everything is in good order with drive components (belts etc.). But what is probably happening in your circumstance is that going downhill, the weight of the tractor and gravity conspire to REVERSE the roles of the engine and transmission as to who is driving who. Uphill, there is no question that the engine is driving the transmission, and the load is kept constant on one face of each gear. But, going downhill, the transmission is trying to drive the engine, and this, plus worn belts, will cause the engine and transmission to alternate the roles of "drive vs. driven", and that will cause the loading of the gears inside the tranny to constantly switch back and forth from one face of EACH gear to the opposite face, and this is where you are picking up the noise and sensation that a lot of "thrashing" is going on, because it is. Short of opening the transmission to inspect things, trying a new set of belts is the only sure fire way to get an answer. You can demonstrate to yourself just how much total backlash is in the gear train by putting the transmission in gear with the engine off, parking brake released (not applied) and turning the big belt pulley on the transmission input shaft back and forth. The amount degrees of rotation you can move the pulley before you feel the tractor try to move on the ground represents the total backlash in the entire gear train. You will probably be surprised at how much there is.

Mulch slows down growth??
Q
Comments (11)
I use mulch in my rows to keep down the weeds. My garden is a little downhill, so the rows run parallel to the hill, and the lower rows are mounded up a few inches, in case of too much water. In those rows I brought the mulch up to a few inches of the base of my peppers. I noticed they grew slowly, and the bugs were chewing the leaves faster than they could make them. I poured soybean meal around these plants, and then used a 8 inch wooden dowel to make holes and drive the meal down to near the roots. In about a week, I noticed the peppers perked up, and they really have come on to make some really nice peppers. The point is I brought the mulch too close, forgetting it still needs to break down, and uses the surrounding nitrogen to do this, depriving the pepper plants of the nutrient. Real compost would have been ok to put near the base of plants, because it has 'rotted' to the point where it doesn't 'take', but leaves nutrients in the soil. That's my understanding of this process.

Springs or slow run off
Q
Comments (2)
Jessaka, In the areas where we have springs, they run, day in and day out, year round, except sometimes they will dry up or at least slow down after many months of drought. So, if you only have the water issues during "the rainy season", I'm inclined to think it is soil drainage issue. If you have the water issues year-round, it might be springs. In the areas where we have springs, they feed a swamp and a creek. One used to feed our pond, but that spring dried up around 2003. You may need to install French drains to fix the drainage permanently if it is just that your soil doesn't drain well. We have thick, heavy clay that drains slowly and it often has puddles for several weeks after a heavy rain. As slowly as our soil drains, we have had almost 14" of rain in the last week, and I don't hit standing water when I dig in the ground. Ironically, our springs are in the area where we have sandier soil and not in the area where we have the clay. Dawn

I like so many of these. Carolina Sugar Daddy is a pretty white. Little Light of Mine is a wonderful clump shot. Wall of Fire is on my wish list. I also like Lucky Stripe. It looks like a nice vibrant color.

Is your Fire in the Hole really Small World Fire in the Hole? I know there are both names registered but Fire in the Hole is supposed to be beige.

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, Mantis Rosie has been blooming a whike and still has quite a number of blooms...Mulberry Marvel s not fancy, but I have always really liked it. Several of you have commented on Carolina Sugar Daddy. I have never seen a bad bloom on it and it is a nice white. Nan, Fire In The Hole is actually Forsyth's Fire In The Hole...sorry for the omission. And Wall oopf Fire is just an excellent plant that rarely isn't prfect.

Lucky Stripe is one that would be on my wish list, if I were adding any. I like the overall appearance which is nothing like what I have now. All beautiful Kay.

Thank you. I was looking through my garden papers and realized how many of my plants came from Bill Maryott. Lucky Stripes was a bogo and very reasonable when Bill had one of his late summer sell-offs. He was always so generous with his bonus plants, some of which I kept. I am continuing to have re-bloom scapes pop up. There are two on Clown Parade, and two of mine that did not bloom this year, Dragonfly Charmer and My Chihuahua Bites have put up a scape this late!

Kay, how would you describe the color on the Wall of Fire in your garden? It is really showing up lovely on my monitor!! I have a few clumps yet to bloom but noticed today that the dratted little red garden insect I told you about has damaged many of the buds on those so I don't know how many lates I will actually have. I do have several rebloom scapes so will be watching for that little beast ahead of time! Yours are really pretty. And Rosie continues to impress.

I don't recall a picture of Bass Gibson this year. That, and of course, the Bennetts were absent.
