March 2006, 01:10:12 our bradford pear trees are blooming and the maple is budding but so far my oak isn't. I want to give my roses some fertilizer soon!! 11. March 2006, 21:27:07 Worked outside today trimming bushes..so nice and warm. My rose bushes are putting on new growth like crazy (well the ones that the last freeze didn't kill)! My lilac bush is leafing out too! 1. March 2006, 22:12:47 Subject: Re: Eriisa: Boy, you got lungs girl...it made it to OK..is 90° now!! 1. March 2006, 18:23:59 Subject: Re: Eriisa: Run on up and trim mine while you are in the mood! 17. August 2005, 07:05:34 Bernice, my paw paw's are not doing so good. Only have 3 and they are so tiny..just don't seem to be growing at all. 30. May 2005, 06:52:11 Wooo hooo, I now have 4 little PawPaw trees coming up..they are about an inch high!! 6. May 2005, 04:45:16 Subject: Re: Re:My dear friend :) BerniceC: Thanks I will try that..and my dear, I have the patience of Job except when Foxy is trying to steal my Tootsie Pops and Jelly Beans!!LOL 5. May 2005, 01:43:51 Subject: Re: Re: BerniceC:I am sad because none of my paw paw seeds have germinated yet. How long should it take anyway!! Maybe I am being too impatient!!!:) 26.

April 2005, 07:34:49 Subject: Re: pluot.. nobleheart: The pluot does have a pit similar to a plum. Since it is from grafted trees, I don't know what you would get. If they have them at the market this year I will save you some seed!
BTW, pay no attention to Foxy...my Tootsie Roll Pops are locked up in a safe place!!  19. April 2005, 05:44:01 Has anyone tried a pluot..they are delicious. It's a cross between a plum and apricot! 18. April 2005, 07:10:03 Modified by Dolittle (18. April 2005, 07:10:51) I got my paw paw seeds and planted half of them yesterday. Would like to get some seeds from bwildman..
so maybe I could have two kinds!! 8. April 2005, 08:38:27 Subject: Re: BerniceC: Thank you kindly my friend! I do hope it will grow here and I will name it after you!!!LOL 2. April 2005, 05:29:06 Subject: Re: PawPaw Tree BerniceC: That would be great..I appreciate that!! Do you think they would grow here? 1. April 2005, 06:03:37 Subject: PawPaw Tree Does anyone know if I can buy those seeds anywhere? 29. March 2005, 07:31:24 Subject: Re: snowdrops Foxy Lady: I would wait to sprinkle that Epsom salts on that rose bush till you set it out. 29. March 2005, 06:35:38 Subject: Re: Re: Foxy Lady: Yep, I would say the same amount that it says in the tips below. Don't think it would make a difference that it is a miniature! 29. March 2005, 01:21:56 Put the Epsom salts by my rose bushes today girls so be watching your mail for those beautiful roses!!!LOL 28. March 2005, 08:15:17 Subject: Tip for Roses Sprinkle a half cup of Epsom salts on the surface of the soil (not touching the plants) around newly planted roses. It gives them deeper color, thicker petals, and stronger roots.
For a mid-summer pick-me-up, sprinkle any leftover tea leaves on the soil underneath each bush. The tannic acid in tea makes the soil slightly acidic, which roses just love. You can mulch with pine needles which will give the same result. 24. March 2005, 04:29:13 Subject: Re: Re: Modified by Dolittle (24. March 2005, 04:30:14) bwildman:
We used to have deer come up and eat our roses and pansies. We put bars of cheap soap out (like Ivory or Cashmere Bouquet) and the deer quit coming! It really works!! They left the veggies alone too. 12. March 2005, 23:55:58 Subject: Re: ScarletRose: No veggies for me this year. My little MinPin eats them before time to harvest, she stripped my bell pepper plants last year and got a number of tomatoes! I will stick to roses..maybe she won't bite those but once!! 12. March 2005, 18:33:14 Subject: Re: some fun for us gardening people chupacabraVS2:What a beautiful tree. I would love to have one but doubt it would grow here. Thanks for posting that pic! 16. January 2005, 04:05:02 Subject: Re: snow peas CW57:Good ole east Texas..greatest place in the world!! 13. September 2004, 02:23:24 Already got that one Foxy from the recipe f/s and did pass it around. It's a great site! 11. September 2004, 08:43:16 The one about the tree..guess I missed the hints one! 10. September 2004, 08:27:34 Subject: Re: Oak Tree! bwildman, I think that tree is live oak but am not sure. found out today from the University garden expert that it had oak leaf caterpillars. they said not to do anything to it..it will be fine. thanks for responding!!
and thanks also to Foxy for that great site!! 9. September 2004, 19:22:01 Subject: Oak Tree! I have an oak tree that has something wrong with it and I don't have a clue what to spray it with. Some of the leaves look opaque but the vien is still green. My first thought was bag worms but that isn't the case. Does anyone know what to do for my lovely tree? ****HELP**** 9. September 2004, 19:19:38 Subject: Re: Compost etc I would like to know how you made your compost bin Nirvana..I have a corner in my back yard that would be perfect for one. Don't know a thing about starting one. 25. July 2004, 16:36:08 Thanks for that tip on rose bushes Foxy. I am planning to plant some! << < 1 2 > >> |
