Ack! I made things worse!
Comments (4)This is the season for beardeds to be looking tired with outer leaves beginning to age. What we don't see is the growth underneath. Do not be tempted to overwater. They all tend to look like yours after complete divison (removing from soil & cutting apart)....See MoreHelp me before I make things worse...
Comments (15)bogaat, do you have an EZ-FLO yet or no? I got mine from QC Supply, I think the 3 gal version was around $60 at that time. Here's the link, I think this was the cheapest site I found; the pic is wrong, it's actually about 2ft tall: http://www.qcsupply.com/qcsupply/browse/productDetailWithPicker.jsp?productId=360316 Do you have lots of drainage holes in your containers? What color are they? I usually drill some 1/2'' or so holes in the sides too, about an inch up (CL) from the bottom. It's easier to see that they are draining properly that way. Do you have access to any compost? I would maybe top off the buckets with a good compost and water it in, the nutrients will find their way down thru the BX. There's almost no nutrients in BX, possibly just an initial charge for seedlings, if that. It's mostly just dolomitic & calcitic lime and a wetting agent to make the peat get wet easier. Can you post any pics of the "brown tips" on those plants? Did they just shrivel up & die? Did any of the plants ever wilt? A picture's worth a thousand words! Perhaps the best tip to help against BER is even, consistent watering, both amounts and frequency. My summers are similar to your in-greenhouse conditions, usually 80-85, 90 max, and nights usually in the 60's. Star_stuff, thanks. I think the only grass left is about an 18'' strip along the fence by the blue tarp. I got tired of walking back there to weedwhack it, my neighbor has a bagging mower so I just told him to dump his clippings and leaves on that spot. lol And I'm PROUD to be a tomato grower--we don't hide our cages for the winter like dem fancy overpriced collapsing ones! lol Here is a link that might be useful: EZ-FLO 3 gallon fertilizer injector system...See MoreBluebonnet seeds...am I imagining things?
Comments (3)There is frequently debris in some seeds. Though they just may be bad seeds, if my brain is working correctly I think you are supposed to get rid of the ones that float. Tally HO!...See MoreI think I am getting the hang of this CL thing :) ;)
Comments (14)oceanna - Great idea! I have only sold one thing on CL. Took two postings, and about two weeks. Perhaps I should give it another try. The question is what to sell! LOL oceanna and flyleft - No, I do not drive a truck, it's a Toyota Sequoia SUV. It's come in quite handy, even though it cost an arm and a leg to fill it up. I'd like to downsize to something more economical, but I would have to give up that "truck like" space. Just to set everyone straight, the hutch is not old. It is a two piece 90's table and hutch set. The seller tagged it "Beautiful walnut and green, two piece country hutch - $75 Excellent condition." Of course the wood is a stained walnut colored wood, not the real thing. However, it's a sturdy piece. My daughter will eventually paint it. I actually have pieces of the like in my upstairs family room (a coffee table and sofa table.) I think I paid around $150 per piece when we bought it several years ago. The set is also larger than it looks in the owner photo. I will try to set it up and take a garage photo. Believe me. we have also been getting the college kids and the "Rodeo drive" listings. It's rare when something in between comes along. I am getting really tired of seeing the Office Depot, pressed-wood desk, used sofa's and bistro sets being listed from college students. It's one thing if they had bargain prices, but they are asking what they probably bought the things for at last years garage sales!...See MoreCompumom11
