I'm starting tomorrow, any advice appreciated
Comments (5)The fastest germinating/establishing grass is perennial rye. Perennial rye can make a beautiful dark green lawn, but if you use it you can't just overseed it to change what you have. Overseeding PR with anything other than PR can also be difficult as mature PR can inhibit other species of grass from germinating. PR is a bunch grass, which means it doesn't spread like Kentucky bluegrass, so periodic overseeding will be necessary if you experience stand loss (although there are a few spreading ryegrasses on the market now). If you want to change what grass you have in the late summer you will have to kill it all and start over....See MoreNew hostas arriving tomorrow or Wed.--I'm sick & can't plant
Comments (2)I had a Haylcon sit on the kitchen counter wrapped in the wet paper towel and plastic wrap it was shipped in for more than 2 weeks once. It survived! Last year we had 75 hostas in the living room until the danger of last frost passed. I believe that was about a month. Your hostas will do fine sitting in temporary containers until you plant them in the ground. Remember to water them though. Gesila...See MoreI'm going to work tomorrow (what a concept!).
Comments (18)I promise to report back! Maire, thanks for reminding me that I have to empty the memory card in my camera* and figure out how to use the digital recorder my DD gave me recently. My original one gave out last year, so it was good timing to get one now. *Yes, the newspaper probably expects me to use my own camera. I don't mind......when I first went to work for them in 1999 we had to develop our own film. I was glad when they switched to digital and I could say goodbye to darkroom chemicals. Although their smell reminded me of happy childhood times in my dad's darkroom....See MorePruning my Meyer lemon, tomorrow. Can you check if I'm doing it right?
Comments (15)Ok, so this morning, I took a deep breath, and I pruned my tree. I gave it a good watering last night, and once again just after I pruned it. I hope I did it right. I cut that one limb I had tagged, making sure to do it at an angle, and the end of the branch just below it, too to keep with the shape I want. I then apologized to my tree, went inside, put the cuttings in water, and started to bawl like an idiot... Sigh. . Good news is, my neighbor, who is a plants and trees and all flowers of the world fanatic, is going to pick them up later this morning and try to root them. He has the hormone and everything. Don't know if it will work, but at least it will give those limbs a chance. . . . Today was supposed to be FP day, should I abstain on the tree I pruned, or not? . Thank you for the help and advice, y'all. God bless, . Atheen...See More- 8 years ago
