Talk to me about mildew, please
Comments (11)I have had excellent results using milk, water and a little baking soda. Where i live big ole trees like maples, chestnuts etc get totally flocked with it. I ended up with my huge chestnut tree just white with mildew -- and it was upwind from my roses. It spread mildew everywhere- to my cherry, lilacs, roses -- i even had the weeds behind my ac unit all covered in it. I used the milk solution to kick it out of my rosebeds atleast. It's ugly but didnt really bother the rest. Google powdery mildew and milk and you'll see plenty of recipes and discussions regarding skim milk or whole, organic or not etc. I think i did 2 cups water, 1 cup milk (organic skim is what we keep in the refrig) and the soda amount was what they recommend if you make it with water. It's worth a try since its so easy and safe- you can drink it- LOL. My rockcress (aubrieta) grows this fuzzy mildew that literally billows off it when disturbed and i plan to try it on that thia year. (i read it was very effective in treating a peanut fungus like it)....See MoreDr. Manners and others please talk to me about chilli thrips ...
Comments (9)I cannot claim to be an expert on chilli thrips, but I know how we control them, and how most successful programs work -- they are based on soil-applied imidacloprid as the primary control measure. Then supplemental sprays with unrelated chemicals help prevent any build-up of resistance to the imidacloprid. It works very well. There appear to be a few roses that at least tolerate them, if not being actually resistant -- 'Mrs. B. R. Cant', 'Trinity', 'Smith's Parish' 'Tausentschoen'. Probably lots of others. Unfortunately, some of the most otherwise carefree roses (Belinda's Dream, all of the Knock-Out series, Don Juan) are unusually susceptible....See MoreTalk to me about red fox....... bear with me please
Comments (9)We had a family of red foxes living in a rocky hillside next to our screen porch. There was a mom and 3 kits. Needless to say, we had no garden varmints that summer! We'd run from window to window to watch them pounce on mice and chipmunks all over the property. Often they'd run up and down the driveway. They came out after noon and were active from then on. I would find animal parts they dragged into the yard, huge fish skeletons (we live across from a reservoir in Ulster County), duck carcasses and deer legs, etc. It was worth the clean-up just to have them around. They behaved just like puppies. I read that one of each litter will return to the same den next year. Ours didn't. When we had gravel dumped and spread on the driveway, they disappeared. The neighbor shot one that was getting into her chickens, and I saw one dead on our road...very sad. But I found a piece of fabric at Joann's with a perfect picture of those 3 fox kits, which I made into a wall quilt for the porch. Nice memories. That was such a wonderful lifetime experience. We see one now and then along the stone wall, looking for rodents....See MoreTalk to me about apps, please.
Comments (47)Raven, these are the sorts of things I've been reading about about SwiftKey. I wonder if the problem is specific to the N7....? I was going to buy the $3.99 version 3 for tablets. Please fix the issue of erasing on tablets (tf300). When pressing the back key to erase the app goes crazy and starts retyping whatever was typed last. This makes the app almost useless since the smallest of mistakes can not be corrected unless by changing back to the Asus keyboard. Solid 5 stars when an update fixes this. The space and backspace doesn't function at certain times on my nexus 7. It's very frustrating. I understand this problem has been stated. I'll be disabling swiftkey until it's fixed. This was the first purchase I made on my Nexus 7 and I have updated everything but this will not take. Brought it to dev friends to see if I am a moron, good news is I am not, bad news is It still doesn't work. Any direction would be greatly appreciated....See MoreKathi Steele
