Any thought anybody? 21. juuni 2007, 06:13:55 Teema: Re: Laburnum tree skipinnz: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly....and be careful around children skipinnz....extremely poisonous :( 22. juuni 2007, 06:07:26 Teema: Re: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Bernice: Were suppose to be in our Summer but our temps our in the 50'sF at nite.Were also getting some storms with hail. 29. juuni 2007, 05:01:54 Finally were getting warm weather and some needed rain.Our garden is doing better this year than ever before.I also don't seem to be having a beetle problem on our grape vines either. 1. juuli 2007, 04:04:07 Foxy Lady: So far no luck  1. juuli 2007, 08:30:46 Teema: Re: Mousetrap: You had better luck last year. 1. juuli 2007, 09:57:23 I always start my tomatoes in sandy soil or sandy loam as we call it....it enables a great strong root system :) then transplant into hevier soil and not too much compost at the start as they can be inclined to burn if it is put too close to stalks/stem 7. juuli 2007, 00:52:11 Teema: Japanese Beetles  Does anyone know a good way to fight them? 7. juuli 2007, 00:56:31 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Andersp: boxing gloves????? sorry couldnt resist that one LOL I dont even know twhat they are 7. juuli 2007, 00:56:51 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Andersp: You could try using Shaolin Kung Fu. 7. juuli 2007, 01:03:13 Maybe i should teach them to play Ludo and when they fall asleep i smack them  7. juuli 2007, 01:09:09 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Bernice Here they are http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4TH/KKHP/1INSECTS/japbeetle.html want me to send a cpl of thousands? 7. juuli 2007, 01:10:45 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Andersp: Wow they are pretty! 7. juuli 2007, 01:13:33 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Mousetrap: They taste good too :) 7. juuli 2007, 01:33:50 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Andersp: they are lovely....can they be trained.....you could have yourself a beetle circus and create your own "Beetle Mania" hahahaha seriously tho they look to be a terrible pest..... 7. juuli 2007, 06:35:46 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Andersp: I got a beetle trap hanging near my grap vines.Last year they ate most of the grapes and leaves. 7. juuli 2007, 11:25:39 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Foxy Lady: Yes the traps work, i have three of them, but they are not enough :( 8. juuli 2007, 05:08:19 Teema: Re: Japanese Beetles Andersp: I don't like using any sprays. 28. juuli 2007, 19:06:02 Teema: Garden Update Finally after some crazy weather my garden is bearing veggies.I picked some zucchinni everything else except pole beans are slow this year. 28. juuli 2007, 20:31:23 Teema: Re: Garden Update  Foxy Lady: LOL, I got one lone green pepper growing.
