It's Been A Good Day!
Comments (2)You're not kidding about the Mums this year, Pat! This is only my first year growing them (during regular bloom time, anyway), and I'm very pleased with how mine did. The aphids and ants didn't seem to make much of a dent, either. :) Some day, I hope I get enough going to be able to share the beauty, too. My mom finally planted some Mums in the ground this year (yay!), and they're blooming their little heads off, as well. I inherited a largish jade plant from a neighbor this summer, and it has a nice cluster of blooms on it now. First time I've ever seen one bloom! My pineapple sage looks like a California Christmas tree, with its tall (4 ft.) stems lit up with glowing red blooms. I'm so glad I planted it out by the front fence so others can enjoy its beauty. The leaves from the gigantic, unknown trees haven't finished littering yet, but half the fun is removing them to see what plants are hiding underneath. LOL Happy Thanksgiving!

Comments (1)Welcome home. I have been buried prepping for CRFG Festival of Fruit this weekend, so haven't had time to post new pix, etc from this season. 276-49 was very early to ripen this year on 1-/2 year old plant, and reminded me of Tena and Deanna....See MoreBean Beetle Larva
Comments (2)I've never had to deal with MBB (yet), so this is just my two cents worth. Cut the plants off at the ground, much of the soil nutrient value is released when the roots decay. Running the plants through the shredder should kill most of the larvae. Composting should kill the remainder, if your compost pile heats up properly & gets turned over. If the plants would just be thrown on top of a cool compost pile, I wouldn't recommend doing so....See MoreAll dressed up and...DANG! Rained out!
Comments (2)It poured up here yesterday and late into the night not to mention that it's been cloudy for a week. I was very happy to have the rain but I better not walk on the grass to much till it's had time to dry out some...Packs the clay in when you walk on it wet. It's good to see the sun shinning again....See Moregjcore
