Sunny Days / Cloudy Pond
Comments (10)Mr Rubin..... You don't say just how long you have had the pond etc? If it is just new, then wait until it settles down and the plants take hold before you do anything drastic. It may take a few weeks [or even less] for your new pond to stabilise. You could filter the water through polyester quilt batting, to remove the fine particulates. The pond will normally go through the "new pond phase" and have an algae bloom. Patience is the key word with a new pond. Since you have so much sun on the pond, shading it would not be a bad idea either. The best advice I could give you at this time is do a search on this site, for "algae bloom" or "green water", or "pond will not clear". There are lots of posts and advice on the subject of new ponds, that will keep you reading for days on end. LOL "Horton"...See Moresunny days

Comments (6)I have some pumpkins (and a volunteer type growing from a compost pile) as well as some luffa vines here and there, and some pumpkins and melons growing in a patch of corn. Seems like the only wilting problems I have is when the pumpkins (and even luffas) are in direct sun. Even the pumpkins growing out of the compost pile do wilt when it gets hot out, so who knows what's going on, lol! I always did hear that it's good to plant pumpkins and corn together. As for the drought, so far we haven't had a very bad one this year (had BAD ones for the past decade!), though we never get any long rains anymore. This is the first year where I've actually had a good garden and didn't have to water very much. Just spot watering some plants. We've been improving the soil for years, so that probably helps keep the moisture in the ground as well....See MoreSunny days bring lots of roses
Comments (15)Thank you everyone! I'm excited about Golden Buddha as well, there are lots more buds on it. I wonder if the flowers will be more yellow in hot weather? I was expecting the Gruss an Aachen to look a little different, it is the first bloom ever on a new plant so I don't know if it was mislabled and is actually a different rose. I was hoping that by posting a pic here I would discover the truth! Mr. Lincoln is another inherited rose, the blooms are so fragrant the scent wafts. It is planted in my mother's patio area and the scent of the flowers get blown toward the house and trapped in the patio and it becomes delightfully fragrant in there. I love it. Sundowner or Mohave, hmm... I looked at them on HMF and I think they are both better roses than my found rose. The blooms on mine have no fragrance or a slightly unpleasant fragrance depending on the smeller, they don't last long and when they 'blow' they are pretty unsightly. It only looks good in cool weather and will probably SP'd as soon as I need the space, but since I don't have many other blooms and that was a good one I had to post it. Thanks again!...See More

7 months agoIt was a nice warm sunny day today. There have been too many nice warm sunny days this so-called winter. Not enough cold or rain. I am grouchy. This is the worst start to ski season here since 2014 and 2004. Here is the snow depth at one measuring point in the mountains, by year and day. This year is the thick red line, 2014 is the dashed red line, 2004 is the dashed dark gray line. Sigh.
