Oriental persimmons and cold weather
Comments (4)!I have a Japanese variety. It's a very small tree but sets fruit very well every year now. Once the fruits start turning a little orange I go ahead and pick them off. I do this for several reasons. First of all, my tree is still very small and the fruit can get quite heavy and almost break the limbs. And secondly, you do not want the fruit to freeze or it will ruin (high water content for ripened fruit). Set the fruit on the window sill and let it finish ripening there. The fruit will be fully ripened when it's very soft under the skin (almost mushy). But don't break the skin unless you're ready to eat the fruit. I love the fall and harvesting my persimmons!...See MoreLate blight in Missouri
Comments (8)I have been trying to get a handle on this and so far it seems a fungicide is the only way to control it. When my plants showed the first sign of this disease I bought some fungicide at the local farm supply and the only thing they had was Gordon's Maneb tomato and vegetable fungicide. It didn't help at all. Main ingredients of manganese ethylene bisdithiocarbamate. Now after reading it seems everyone is saying to use daconil spray. Are they the same thing or should I try to get some of the daconil? The reason I am asking this is I started a new plant in June about the time my others were dieing and this morning it had a few leave with black spots and yellowing. It is about 4 ft tall with alot of fruit. This is my only plant left and I sure would like to save it....See MoreHas anyone lost power????
Comments (9)Like Christopher, we get most of our power outages in the winter from snow and ice storms (and more often from people crashing into utility poles). We were without power last night for about 7 hours though, after a fast but nasty thunderstorm, and I was miserable - not a breath of air moving outside or in, high humidity (the air was so thick it was almost hard to breathe), 85 degrees at midnight. Yesterday was the hottest day we've had in years. The house was an oven but the mosquitoes were swarming outside, made me wish for a screened porch! DH managed to get to sleep but I spent most of the night in a tepid bathtub. We're pretty close to the hospital so normally our power comes back very quickly, something big must have happened last night. Yeah, I know. Whine whine. What did people 200 years ago do without air conditioning blah blah. :-) I get heatstroke at the drop of a hat so I was having a tough time of it....See MoreHas anyone lost butterfly bushes over the past winter?
