Weird happenings in the the Pepper Patch
Comments (1)Yep, The ripe bells ( red, yellow, orange) are a bit more difficult to grow, but the colored unripe bells (white to red, purple to red, black to red) are just as easy to grow as the traditional green to red, green to yellow, green to orange. The only reason for thier higher prices is that they are not yet mass produced....See MoreWeird patches of yellow grass
Comments (1)My initial guess is that the lawns have patches of summer/southern grasses - bermuda, or more likely in PA zoysia. Here in NoVa, zoysia's already gone dormant, whereas the 'healthier' lawns in the neighborhood are still green and possibly growing. I don't think you could determine if it's a disease w/o a close-up picture, or lifting the turf to check for grubs. --Gags...See MoreNeed weird tree/weird seed ID please.
Comments (15)Interesting flora - what I find online says zone 5-9 and none of the range maps I have found indicate it resides in Canada. Range is up to New York and Pennsylvania, though. It sure would not be a surprise to find it in Canada. Canadianplant, are you near the border around NY/Pennsylvania?

A close up of twigs and foliage arrangement as well as bark might help the the more knowledgeable on here (like the two above that already responded) attain a positive ID...See MoreAdding different varieties to mature fig tree, by patch budding
Comments (20)Italiangirl, Thank you also for your reply and your effort to assist. Allow me also to add the following, which may offer more perspective on my enquiry about WHY I am discussing the success of patch budding established fig trees (over other methods like chip budding) for the purposes of adding on other varieties...... I want to bud/graft low down on the main trunks now, without much time delay, rather than first chop down the limb to that same level and wait for thin side shoots to emerge, and then wait again until these shoots are hardened enough to chip bud. If the patch budding method IS reasonably successful in figs, it means I can proceed with the budding immediately, hence saving substantial time. Note, we are in late summer here in Sydney Australia so budding season is still definitely ON!!!...See More- 6 years ago
