8 days, and grass seed hasn't germinated yet
Comments (18)"Don't think I said seed size determmines germination time. " Maybe I misinterpreted this: "One way to tell a little about how fast a seed will germinate is by the size of the seed" "I factor in the weather etc and he will be disappointed." If you reread my post, you'll see that I said those times are for ideal conditions. I then said that the seeds went down after it had started to cool so only the rye and fescue would have a chance. "You are in Florida or Arizona aren't you BP? You guys can still seed" Nope. Utah. We've already had snow. Long past time to safely seed except for dormant seeding. We've got a very short window for fall seeding. It was in the upper 90s at the end of August and it snowed in early October. I managed to get pretty good germination from my wheatgrass, but I soaked it first to speed things up....See MoreWho else HASN'T started their tomato seeds yet?
Comments (28)tom8olvr, You were the one who told me it would be OK to start a batch of seeds today (April 13) after I got back from vacation, so according to you, you are not going anywhere in a handbasket. I'm starting Batch 3 today - my cherries and my "wispy" types. And I'm potting up Batch 2 today as well, which are about 2 1/2 weeks old. Batch 1 was started over 4 weeks ago and looking very awesome, but we will see if they get a little too big for their britches by May 16. Overall, my mad science experiment is 9 weeks/7 weeks/5 weeks from plant out, and a few of varieties in the 9 week batch are also in the 7 week batch. GWCW (GardenWeb Conventional Wisdom) says that the 7 week batch will do as well if not better than the same variety in the 9 week batch - I'll start posting pictures soon....See Morethe season hasn't even started yet!

Comments (20)Heirloom Roses has good plants, but that doesn't mean all are disease resistant for your area. My The Impressionist got a touch of black spot, but didn't defoliate. I'm fortunate to be in an area that doesn't have black spot pressure and so far, I've have a no spray garden. Summer heat and thrips are my biggest problem and really had me down last year. If they appear again, I'm going to try alternating insecticidal soap and Spinosad at dawn or dusk when bees aren't active....See MoreCan anyone identify this tree even though it hasn't leafed out yet?
Comments (19)No hurry to prune anything. When you do, just the crossed branches and damaged ones. You could take that mess of water sprouts coming off the lower main branches. After the tree flowers would be better than now and the tree is still pretty small so the wounds should close quickly. From the pics I'd bet it's a sliver but will need more info to say for certain....See Morenickel_kg
