Spring 2019, Week 4, Planting Madly Yet? And, Here Comes Rain/Flooding
Comments (37)Amy, Five dogs is a lot! When we had 8 dogs (because our Honey showed up as a skinny, starved and apparently pregnant stray), only 3 or 4 slept indoors in the house and the rest slept in the garage. The three we have now all are spoiled house dogs, and they're getting to where they don't like going outside when it is too cold, too hot, too wet, too windy, etc. I guess they are spoiled from living inside a climate-controlled house. I hope y'all have a great week and that the wedding is perfect. I bet your dad is really enjoying having everyone around a bit more right now. I used to get livid over the herbicide drift, but what good does it do me to let my emotions get all riled up? I have tried (really, really, really hard) to remove emotion from the equation because I just want to be able to live with a peaceful, happy soul. This is one reason I don't document everything and file complaints---I just don't want to end up in a perpetual war with everyone who sprays, and I guarantee y'all that people never will stop using herbicides. I did tell Tim I wanted to put up a big billboard across our front pasture near the bar ditch that says something like "Organic Garden: Stop Spraying Your Herbicides Carelessly and Killing My Plants", but he was not a fan of the idea. lol. Oh, and I was just kidding about doing it.....but there are days when it seems like a good idea if I thought anyone would change their ways because of it, and I do not think that they would. I think I found the source of the Round-up drift, and it is a fairly close neighbor. (sigh) I hope that killing what they wanted to kill was worth the two dozen tomato plants that we lost to their drift here. I wonder how strong some of this crap is that they use. Y'all might remember that several years back---maybe 4 or 5---somebody in the road spilled a tank of herbicide in the road or at least had a big major leak from a tank that ran down into a portion of our bar ditch. I didn't see it happen and only became aware of it after the fact when that area turned brown and died while everything around it was green and thriving. . It was a broadleaf weedkiller, easy to tell because all the broadleaf plants died and the grasses did not. So, here we are 4 or 5 years later and there's still only grass in that area---everything around it has wildflowers. Obviously that soil is contaminated and I assume the contamination is so bad because the herbicide ran into the soil in a concentration greater than what is sprayed through the air. I expected to see the wildflowers return to this area, but they still haven't. After that spill we stopped collecting the grass clippings when we mow the bar ditch. We used to catch them in the riding mower's grass catcher and use them as mulch or as fodder for the compost pile, but we don't any more. The rain mostly missed us too, but I am not going to complain because our soil remains incredibly wet from all the previous rain. We ended up with about a half-inch, which is much less than the 2-3" or even the 3-4" that the QPF predicted for us 7 days out from the multi-rain event. I'm not complaining. Heavy rain fell west of us, moving north towards OKC. It fell over a huge area to our south with so many problems caused that it makes my head spin just thinking about it. Overnight it fell to our south/southeast. All we had here was light rain, mist, clouds and, today, fog and mist. I miss the sunshine and hope it comes out of hiding today. Larry, Your garden might be spotty, but it sounds like you'll have plenty of everything regardless. Jennifer, There's something to be said for planting only a reasonable number of tomato plants. I might do that next year because this year my tomato plantings are totally out of control, and I'll pay the price for that by having to preserve tomatoes like mad this summer. Luckily, I am not a sentimental tomato grower, so when I have harvested and canned, frozen and dehydrated all I want to preserve, I can ruthlessly yank out the plants and throw them on the compost pile without a second thought, keeping only a small handful for fresh eating. I always remind myself when that time comes that (to steal my cousin's daughter's favorite childhood phrase) that "you are not the boss of me" (I'm speaking to the tomato plants there) and out come the excess plants. There are people here in my neighborhood who think it is a crime to pull out healthy tomato plants that still are producing. Well, that's their issue, not mine, because my large number of tomato plants are a tool that serve me and when their service is done, I want to be done with them and replant that space in something else that will provide a different harvest. I also have no desire to spend the entire long, hot summer trying to keep 100 tomato plants watered and happy and healthy because that becomes an increasingly difficult battle at some point every summer. I'd rather have southern peas growing at that point because you generally don't have to water them much if at all. I believe I could give up canning, freezing and dehydrating tomatoes in a heartbeat at some point and just grow a few for fresh eating each year, but I am not at that point yet. I think I might retire completely when Tim retires from working. Well, maybe I'd make one or two salsa batches per year for us. Just for us. Rebecca, It sounds like it was the perfect day for you to get a lot done yesterday. I planted corn and beans yesterday and this morning, while it is foggy and misty out, I'm going to start some hot-season flower seeds in flats. It is hard to guess how many to start because so many volunteers are so slow to pop up and show themselves in the garden this year. I don't know if we'll have less because of all the excess autumn/winter rain and the excessively wet ground we've had since September, of if they are just slower to appear. Or, if maybe I mulched so heavily last year that they cannot sprout. Time will tell. This year continues to remind me a great deal of 2002 when we stayed cool and rainy through June and then were instantly hot and a whole lot less rainy. I wonder if that will happen this year? It wasn't the worst year ever as the cool-season plants stayed productive very late into spring and almost into summer. The only hard part was the ultra-brief transition from cool to hot. My broccoli is trying to head up. I hope we are going to get normal heads and not buttonheads. It seems awfully early considering how late (compared to most years) that I planted. Dawn...See MoreJune 2019, Week 4
Comments (32)Thanks, Sandplum! That is something I really want. I don't need it right now because I don't have many ripe tomatoes, but hopefully next year will be like 2016 and 2017 for me--lots of tomatoes! Dawn, you did a great job reading my mind. IF my squash plant is butternut (oh, I hope so!), then it is a C. moschata, like you said. I did have SVB moths flying around it and think I found a small SVB grub. It was very small. And trying hard to chew into the stalk. I squished it of course. I've never seen a SVB grub that small. I usually don't see them until the plant dies and they're falling out of the dead plant. Ew. I love butternut squash so much and would love to get a good harvest of them. There's several fruit on this plant. They are growing in compost so probably don't need to be fertilized, right? Yes...I was wondering about the coloring and fruit size of the Lime Green. I might have picked it a little early. For some reason I thought the outside stayed green too and was surprised to find a light orangey fruit. Thought I had mislabeled, but not really because the plant looks different from other tomatoes. I have two. It tasted okay--a little tart. Maybe 'cause it wasn't quite ripe. The inside is a gorgeous color of green. It was a free package of seeds. I think either Rebecca, Jen or Megan got a free pack too. Carrots! Lovely carrots. I had success this year! They were crowding out and shading the shishito pepper (Actually I think it's the hot banana pepper I got from Bruce but the tag was accidentally switched with the shishito...by me) so thought it best to harvest them. Their tops were so tall, but I couldn't see the root pushing up from the soil so expected to find a skinny, underdeveloped carrot. Nope. These are lovely. I mixed up the seeds and scattered them all around the bed so have orange AND purple carrots. LOVE. They smell so nice too. Only the ones near the pepper plant were pulled so I have a whole bed of carrots to pull. Yippee! I'm going to start more seed when I can find a place for them. While scrolling through FB, I saw that someone had to pull out their hose for the first time this year. Me TOO! Last night. Dawn, I accidentally left the chicken door open a couple of nights ago and was surprised to see them out in the morning. At first I thought that Ethan had let them out (he's an early riser for a teen). Then remembered that I had closed the little chicken door so I could deal with broodies without interruption from the others. As it got dark I wondered why there weren't going into the coop. DUH! I shut their door. So went out and opened it, but then forgot to close it. Seriously. The pen door was closed, but our pen is not 100% predator proof. Something that was very determined could find a way in, which is why they have to be in the predator proof coop WITH the door locked during the night. That could have been a disaster because we have all sorts of critters lurking around at night too, Dawn, more than we've had so far out here. K, I need to finish work. We have a date night tonight and I want to leave early to take a nap so I don't fall asleep at 10. We are going to Picasso in the Paseo Arts District. One of my favorite restaurants. Have a good day, Everyone....See MoreOctober 2019, Week 3
Comments (35)Larry, I probably would use a small tractor for a while as we redo the landscape, but I'm not sure we'd use it after that. Our property is a strongly sloping creek hollow with very little level land (the house, southern side yard, back yard, detached garage and greenhouse pretty much fill up all the flat land), and once when Tim tried to mow with a friend's tractor and brush hog, it was a disaster because the land was too hilly and rough and the tractor didn't do well on the high spots or the low spots. We'll probably never have a tractor for that reason. I'd love to have one that made the tough jobs easier, but it doesn't seem like a practical tool for us unless we hire someone to come in and level the unforested parts of our land, which I doubt we ever will because of soil compaction issues with red clay. Now, if a tractor fell from the sky....we'd take it! Don't give up until you're ready! My plan for old-age gardening is a container garden, and I may start converting the back garden to a large container garden area this Spring. I will lay it out with really wide paths so it can work for us without modification later on in our lives. I couldn't do it all at once, but perhaps bit by bit over the next few years I could add more containers until the garden space was full. When Fred first gave me molasses feed tubs for growing tomatoes, he thought I was nuts to go to all the trouble to fill them up, etc., and to use them, until he saw how well the plants grew with so little soil-tending and weeding. His son lined up 4 or 5 molasses fed tubs for him the next year on an elevated surface of old tables so Fred, who had perpetual back trouble, could garden at the waist level instead of bending over, and Fred was so happy he stopped giving me molasses feed tubs because he began using them all himself. I was thrilled for him. He still had traditional row crops in the ground like corn, beans, melons, peas, etc. but his tomatoes and peppers too, I think, forever after were grown in molasses feed tubs. This allowed him to garden all throughout his 80s and into his 90s, though his son increasingly took over all the row crops while Fred tended the container crops. He was such a happy camper. I think we call be happy campers later in life if we just make the modifications that suit us and allow us to continue gardening in some shape, form or fashion. Jennifer, There's 7 birds: 4 Quakers: Arthur, Guinevere, Ducky (a male) and Sarah--they are two bonded pairs (A&G and D&S), and he's had them since about 2008 or 2009. He has two bonded parolets, Sunny and Leia, and one canary-winged parakeet---BeBe. He rescued Artie and Gwennie from an uncaring who left them in a cage and didn't interact with them---they were unsociable and depressed, but improved quickly under Chris' care. BeBe belonged to a sweet little old lady for many years, and she became Chris' bird after that lady passed away and none of her children wanted BeBe. While BeBe bonded slowly with Chris, she adored Jana from Day 1 and is Jana's bird now, practically speaking. Ducky is brilliantly smart and can carry on quite a conversation. I can ask him "where's daddy?" and he'll tell me "Daddy had to work today". It cracks me up. He will talk to you all day long if you'll talk to him and listen to his answers and respond to what he says. So, when we are taking care of them, we don't just uncover their cages and give them food and water, etc. We let them out of their cages and let them fly around indoors, sit on our laps or shoulders, play with toys, talk with us, etc. so we're up there for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening. They are great pets and can live for decades, so they are quite a commitment. Chris, Jana and the girls love their birds, and we birdsit for them several times a year. Each bird has its own personality and you have to know what it is in order to interact well with them---it has taken me years to get to know them as well as I do now. I still cannot find any cool-season annuals to plant. I don't know if I waited too long, or if they aren't in the stores yet, or if they had them earlier when it was in the 90s and the poor things burned up in the heat or what. I'm going to go plant shopping tomorrow and try to find something. We have worked so hard between trying to get the exterior of the house painted and the birds taken care of....and the house isn't done yet, but it is about 80% done and maybe we can finish it tomorrow afternoon after we do the weekly grocery shopping (and some plant shopping). If we shop too long (I really want to find some plants), I can work on painting Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. As far as I know, we are through with birdsitting. Chris, Jana and Lillie are on their way home---having rented a car this afternoon to drive home after their flight home was postponed at least 3 times and about 7 or 8 hours. Chris had a feeling it would be delayed even longer, since he works at an international airport and knows how these things go. When I talked to them they had a 7-hour drive ahead of them, so if all goes well they should be home pretty much any time now. I did notice that the dianthus plants in the garden are starting to bloom now---they must be liking the cooler weather---but I'd like to have some pansies and violas to go with them. They usually arrive in the stores here in flats in October and it is October now. I haven't seen those plants in the stores, but Home Depot is full of fake Christmas trees, fake wreaths, and real 'living Christmas trees' of various kinds in pots, and rosemary plants sheared into Xmas tree shapes, and such. They also still have lots of warm-season bedding plants, though I don't know who would buy those now that we are a month away from our average first freeze date and already have had a killing freeze anyway. There's still a lot of nursery stock, especially shrubs, on hand and, if I could make up my mind about what I want to plant in the Spring, I could buy them now and hold them over the winter until the soil is ready in Spring 2020. I bet I'd do a better job of keeping them watered and protected from the cold than the local big box stores will. So, I think a plant shopping trip is definitely happening tomorrow, and who knows what I might bring home. There's definitely some plants I know that I want for sure, so if I could find those, I wouldn't hesitate to buy them now even if I can't plant them yet. Dawn...See MoreOctober 2019, Week 5
Comments (41)Amy, I haven't even stepped foot in the garden---I was too busy preparing for Halloween.....but I imagine my parsley, rosemary and fennel are fine even if not much else is because they always overwinter so well here. The autumn sage should be as well, but even if the cold weather nipped it back, it will regrow and bloom in no time. Autumn sage has bloomed on and off every winter since I first planted it about a decade ago, and I didn't expect that. I did expect late autumn blooms, but the winter blooms are just a bonus. We did drop down to 26 degrees so I'm sure all the warm-season annuals are toast. I do assume the tomato shade is why the chicory got long and viney---just searching for light. My snowstorm that I adored so much happened the same week that Dallas was hosting the Super Bowl, so it was the winter of 2010-2011, and specifically the first week of February 2011. I remember it well because Tim and Chris had such horrible commutes to work and it was the sort of crazy-busy week that you dare not call in to work unless you couldn't make it to work because you were dead. I think Tim stayed down there for 2 or 3 nights, sleeping in the guest room at his best friend's house because it was just a short commute. I was the one stuck at home dealing with snow piled up everywhere, but I didn't mind. The dogs loved it, but the cats and chickens not so much. We haven't had any sort of damaging or power-disrupting ice storm since moving here in the late winter of 1999. I have watched in horror as some of you have had them multiple times, but the closest a damaging ice storm of that type ever has come to us is probably about 3 or 4 miles north. Our county had extremely widespread damage to the power grid and trees from a very bad ice storm about a decade or so before we moved here, and that one did bring down trees on what later became our property. We eventually bought ourselves a just-in-case generator after watching all the news stories about ice storms causing power outages in other parts of OK so we're prepared if it ever happens here. So far it only has been used when someone is using power equipment too far from the house to use outdoor extension cords. The last time we put up a replacement fence around part of the front garden, Tim used the generator to power the power auger to dig the post holes. It was so much easier to dig them than using a manual post-hole digger. I think that if we didn't have that power auger, my chances of getting a fence finally put up around the yard in 2020 would be slim to none. Nancy, I laugh at leaving the leaves too. We always chop them up or shred them so they'll decompose into wonderful leaf mold quickly, and use them as we wish on compost piles or as mulch, but don't leave them lying there whole. First of all, with our OK winds, they're all going to drift or blow if left intact anyway. With the way we can have exceptionally warm winter days occasionally, the last thing we need is leaf cover on the ground to allow the venomous snakes to hide when they venture out on a warm winter day, and we've had those warm winter days that bring out snakes in Jan/Feb for at least each of the last three winters. Otherwise, I do believe in leaving standing plants and all non-diseased plant debris in the garden areas to provide food and cover for wild creatures. I've done it for a long time now and never have felt like there is any reason not to do it. Well, unless a person needs to take out everything to clear a raised bed to serve as a nursery bed for recently purchased landscaping plants that cannot be planted until the ground is prepared for them. I checked that nursery bed yesterday, by the way, and the plants looked as good as they did the day I planted them, so temperatures in the mid-20s didn't affect them at all. I forgot to look at the dianthus plants, which were in bloom, to see if the cold weather affected those, but they've overwintered for several winters now so even if the cold nipped them back, they'll recover quickly. There's a ranch across the road from us that was badly overgrown with trees when the current owners purchased it a few months before we bought our place. They hired a local guy to selectively clear many trees after we had our house built and moved up here---so he was doing that our first summer here, and I also he think he did a lot to contour the land to help manage water flow and decrease erosion. He did an amazing job, but.....suddenly, at our house, we had a huge population increase of the wildlife kind......snakes, possums, skunks, armadillos, rabbits, coons, etc. I didn't really mind it since we love most wild things, but it was just shocking how many we had all of a sudden. It makes sense---they needed habitat, cover and food and our property still had that in abundance. It was too much wildlife though, and too much competition for resources, and it took a few years for everything to get back to more normal levels. Jennifer, You must be exhausted after such a busy week. I hope you can restore order to your work environment and also get some rest. I remember that Christmas Eve snowfall. It was only the second white Christmas I ever got to experience, and the first one was in 1964 when I was only 5 years old, so my memories of it are sort of vague. I do remember my dad taking me across the street to the neighborhood park to play in the snow, and I remember how pretty our house's exterior Christmas lights were in the snow. I remember our recent white Christmas much better. I do hate the fact that returning to standard time means it is dark before dinner time. That means Tim leaves the house in the dark early in the morning and comes home in the dark in the evening. I'm sure the same is true for people who have a much shorter commute than he does as well. We just start counting the days until the winter solstice arrives and the day length finally begins to lengthen again after that. We never have had one single trick or treater at our house which is one of the pitfalls of being so very rural and living so far back from the road, so that's 20+ years of not really having a Halloween, except for going to a party at someone else's house, which we did last weekend. This year, Jana and Chris invited us to come up and do Halloween with them and Lillie. Aurora was at her dad's house because he and Jana have joint custody and she spends one week with her dad, and then the next week with Jana and Chris and this is her dad's week. Friday evenings is when she goes from one parent/household to the other. So, Jana and I took Lillie to downtown for the trunk-or-treat that ran from, I believe 3-5 pm, while Chris stayed home preparing for trick or treaters and doing meal prep because he takes in his meals prepared in advance when he works his 24-hour shifts. He doesn't have to do that, since they do cook at the fire station, but since he's training for a half-Ironman, he is eating super healthy and preps all his meals in advance to help him stay on track. Because their house is just SW of downtown, we just had to walk maybe 3 blocks to get to Main Street, and Lillie's dear friend from next door and her dad walked with us. The trunk or treat was very long...blocks and blocks and blocks....but the kids had fun. Once we were back home, we ate dinner and got ready for the onslaught of kids, goblins and ghouls. Tim had taken off work a couple of hours early and was at the house by the time Jana, Lillie and I got back. As soon as we finished dinner, the first kids arrived, but it turned out that most of them were Lillie's friends from the Cub Scout pack stopping by to see if she could join them for trick-and-treat in the neighborhood. Off they went. We had tried to prepare for what a neighbor told Jana and Chris would be a huge number of kids driving in with their parents from other neighborhoods. They were not kidding. The 500 pieces of candy that they had bought was going quickly so almost as soon as the trick or treat activity began and we could see we were going to run out, Tim ran to Wal-Mart and bought probably twice as much as we had started out with in the beginning...and mostly got the good stuff (chocolate) as that;s what they had purchased. The four of us handed out candy for well over three hours and got to see every possible cute, adorable, scary, terrifying and just weird costume you can imagine. Some were amazingly clever. The kids just kept coming and in the latter part of the evening--after 8 pm--we all got the feeling that we were seeing very tired parents, mostly with older kids, who'd just gotten off work and were trying to squeeze in a little Halloween fun with their kids. Tim, Lillie and I headed home (no school today) about 8:45 pm but Jana stayed out for quite a while longer and handed out candy for as long as kids kept showing up. By the time she was finished, there was almost nothing left in her treat bowl and Chris was sound asleep because he usually gets up sometime around 3 am on the days he works. Overall, Halloween was a huge success. After Lillie's group of friends finished collecting candy around the neighborhood, they went next door and played with a Ouija board (and who knows what else...whatever would amuse 4th and 5th graders on Halloween). Chris and Jana feel better prepared for next year now that they know what to expect and are enthusiastically planning more decorations for next year, better lighting near the sidewalk and steps, and the plan is to buy a bunch of the big bags of candy from Sam's Club so no one has to make emergency trips to the store. Tim and I just enjoyed being able to participate in Halloween activity in a way we cannot in our remote, rural neighborhood (where there's not even that many kids around us to begin with). I want to plant shop today, and places like Lowe's and Home Depot might have Halloween decorations on clearance sale today, so we are going to be out for a few hours seeing what we can find after Lillie eventually wakes up. She is sleeping the sleep of the dead, so to speak, after staying up really late with me last night to watch the original Friday the 13th. She's seen some of the later sequels but this was the first time she watched the original. I guess if she sleeps away most of the day, we can plant shop and Halloween shop tomorrow, which will be warmer anyhow. Damon Lane posted a thing last night about Halloween 2020, so don't say you were not warned: next year (leap year) Halloween falls on a Saturday, it is the night of the full moon and it is the night we turn the clocks back, so we have a Halloween trifecta. I think it is safe to say that sets us up for an amazing Halloween. We only had a sliver of moonlight last night, but we'll have the whole thing next year. It was awfully cold again last night, but we hit our low temperature pretty early and then the temperature climbed for the rest of the night. I think we had hit 25 or 26 before midnight but then we climbed back up to 28 pretty quickly and it was around 32 by the time the sun came up. Most of the time we hit our low around sunrise at this time of the year, so last night was odd. Happy November! I guess we'll remember 2019 as another year in which we went from summer to winter in the blink of an eye. Maybe next year we'll have the long, leisurely autumn we all crave. I'm just hoping we don't have a bad winter, but this early cold is making me wonder if we will. Dawn...See Moreoldbusy1
