There's Va. creeper in the margin. I'm asking about the ones with the little flowers growing through the patio. It's very easy to pull but determined to multiply.

What happens when a fruit doesn't get enough chill hours?
Comments (15)1. I got 6 Kiowas last spring and 3 of them have very thin canes. Is this because they r still immature and should I just remove the canes this spring before they flower or go ahead and let them produce fruit? Im just not sure if u treat these plants like other fruit and let them mature before producing berries? Yes To first Question let them go ahead let fruit because there now Floricanes and don't take away from plants growth in 2012 which are primacanes. Floricanes has energy for fruiting allready so pruning will just loose fruits. Im just not sure if u treat these plants like other fruit and let them mature before producing berries? You do all pruning on Primacanes none on Floricanes until after fruiting prune hold cane from plant base. 2. I tipped the canes at about 4 ft and they only produced 1 or 2 branches and just keep growing up to 7ft. Should I cut the branches back to 18 inches or so, or just leave them be? The branches r now 3 to 4ft long. The growth change in 2012 to Dayem that plant growing on new primacane. Tip changes in south from north mountains Tiping use what called long cane practice in south because longer growing season I see V trellis in you future so hold up plants. Prune main new canes of 2012 six foot tall these fall over without V Trellis allow as grow lean onto wires this tighten wires there no need fight wire to be tight canes do that just install with slack out. Laterals use 36 inches not 18" hanging over wires this give wall berry fruits out side wire. 3. I planted them to close for comfort, 2ft apart so its a jungle in there. I also planted them next to my fence so getting behind the plants is impossible. When would be the best time to transplant them with out sacrificing a years crop from stress or that even possible? I would move half plants from fence now when new site ready mix with mature chicken litter is best out broil houses Kiowas 4 foot is tight over 8 foot loose between hedge rows 14 foot tight over 22 foot loose I've had only 4 to 6 foot alley way between Kiowa at 22 foot rows. Thin canes are from infertile soil and small crown on plants this grow out plants in one year if fertile almost impossible to grow from root cutting to thick cane in one year but after 2 years no different than big crown transplant. The reason grow long canes in South is fewer cane come up from crown like one to 3 in north mountains there 7 to 9 canes from crown so 18" applicable for lateral pruning and shorter canes at 52" top out. Just remember 2011 does not apply to practice for 2012 are 2013 after that 2014 will be same old same old etc....See MoreIt doesn't get much better...
Comments (18)It does sound perfect, Donn! Dereks, your forecast is pretty much the same as mine, since I am not too far from the Western Slope. Tons of grasshoppers here too. My 3 year old has been outside catching them all day. Where are all of the praying mantis this year? They usually keep the grasshoppers in check. The good news today is that DH did all the edging and cut the grass, so I could just putter around the garden. Potted up some mail order plants that didn't get in the ground before the heat arrived. Sowed some more bush beans, and herbs to extend the harvest time. Watered all of the containers on the porch, and cleaned up the pot ghetto from winter sowing, dumping anything that didn't have at least one sprout in it. The pumpkins, cucumbers, and beans seem to love this heat, even the swiss chard is holding up, but surprisingly the pepper plants look horrible. Not sure if I am watering them too much, or not enough. Anyway, I think a bad day in the garden, beats a good day doing anything else!...See MoreDeep red that doesn't require a million coats?
Comments (26)Thank you so much for the wonderful responses! I wrote down all the color suggestions and went over them with my daughter. She decided to go with French Roast, which is a dark chocolate brown. I'm saving the reds for future reference, though. I do love a good deep red. Funcolors--I really appreciate the information on reds. I finally found the name of the red (Brick, ACE paint) I used before and I even wrote down the formula (E, T, and KX, but the letters make no sense to me, lol). The base used was red. Is there a way one could tell if the pigment is organic or inorganic? Would the mixing person know? Auntjen--thanks for the tips on Aura. It sounds like it would work for me after all. I AM going to try it soon, just not this time around. The Ace Hardware paint employee expressed concern about being able to match a Sherwin Williams color in Aura. I think this is why I don't use it--the colors it comes in haven't been my preference and they always hedge when asked to match, even in their own regular paint colors. They charge $64 a gallon for it, too. That seems high, especially considering I can get Citron locally (I'm in Tucson) for less. Now I'm thinking red for my daughter's bathroom. I guess I should finish the bedroom first....See MoreWhat Works, What Doesn't
Comments (43)I don,t like the flow of the southern living home. Anyone in the kitchen or at the island is looking at the back of peoples heads in the livingroom. The overly big pillows would make you either have to find a place off the couch to place the pillow on sit on the edge of the couch. I would have put a round game table with chairs in the corner where one of the couchs areand maybe a piece of low wood furnature to hold games in the middle with a two chairs with a small table with a lamp on it on the other side of that wall. i would turn the couch that has its back the kitchen to face the window view and put several comfy chairs on the opposite side of it. All in all I think that room looks good at first glance but is full of holes when you really examine it...See Moreseagreen_turtle Z5b/6a SE Michigan

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoThe Circaea lutiana flower has no yellow in it, and you see cleary this plant's flowers have yellow connivent anthers in the flower center. The leaves are different. Also a lot of pubescence in Circaea flower and fruit. Solanum has glabrous flower and fruit.
Nigrum has slightly winged petiole that tapers thinner as it meets the stem.
Circaea petioles are thin all the way between leaf and stem.Solanum nigrum is so common that I forgot it's not native. Called Solanum nigrum complex because of all the different variations.
