Wife picked a nice batch of blueberries from our two early plants. Onions I planted Wednesday looks like they are off and running. Pear trees are looking good. Maybe a few apples too

Do you have Primier?

 

[Bacpacker]

Do you have Primer?

Not sure what you mean?

Not sure what you mean?

Sorry, I have one Blueberry plant that is about 48" tall & 40" wide called Premier & it is about half though the ripening cycle.
I was wondering if you had the same plant.

I dont recall my types. Ill have to look at the tags. We have 3 different types.

I treat mine with Holly Tone every year when I fertilize in Jan/Feb. Holly Tone helps with the acidification of the dirt. Seems to work pretty good

Can't the DDP " gardening 2024" thread and HCL "garden 2024" threads be combined? Not sure how that works, but we don't want to miss any of either thread!!

The first thing that I did after the tornado , when daylight broke was to access the damage and decided my first thing to address was the garden as its survival to recover from the hail and wind was time sensitive . I straightened up plants and for many using water from my gravity feed cistern system carefully washed the mud off the laid down leaves one at a time . My effort to save the garden food supply was successful .

I was out looking at my "garden" this morning. I think that I'm going to call it my Squirrel Feeding Station from now on. At least they have left my jalapeno peppers alone. They even killed my little pecan tree I "saved" & planted. Squirrels are nothing more than cute climbing rats with furry tails.

"Squirrels are natural foragers that love raiding your flower pots, garden, backyard, and anywhere else you have plants. Whether you love squirrels or just want to know what plants squirrels can and cannot eat, you’re in the right place.


We’re going to share a huge list of plants that will attract squirrels. As well as the type of plants that repel squirrels. Keep on reading to learn which plants are safe for squirrels to eat as well as which are poisonous.


This ultimate guide is broken down into key sections e.g. shrubs, herbs, trees, and so on. Browse through the article to find out which plants squirrels love and which ones they won’t touch."

Lettuce and cabbages are almost gone. Potatoes are gone but a neighbor dropped off a 5g bucket of red potatoes for dad.

Gonna have sweet corn in a few more days, yummy! Okra looks good.

Elderberry is in full bloom but they are small this year, by half. A friend is supposed to harvest them tomorrow or the next day.

Purple hull peas look great. Planted twice what we need. An elderly neighbor loves peas and her husband was too ill to get a garden planted this year. I planted extra for her, saw her in town yesterday and told her it’d be soon. She said she’ll start getting her canning jars ready.

Got a friend with a Jack Russel or similar? Give it a day job! A dog will keep the squirrels out.

Funny, one winter in Buffalo ny I bought a wrist rocket sling shot, set up a shooting range in my basement for something to do. Couldn't do anything outside for all the snow. As it happened, many of my neighbors had bird feeders and complained about squirrels each summer…

Well, by May of that spring there wasn’t a squirrel left within 200yds of my house! For the price of a slingshot and a pkg of ball bearings. Several neighbors commented... "Don't know what happened to the squirrels but glad they left".

Been real cool last few days here...well..it was 39f here this morning and spotty FROST !....LOL....looks like it missed garden though...welcome to mtns of barsoom !

 

[Ekatarina]

No flowers yet ..but its coming..it takes time

 

[joel]

I can not grow these Peonies in Hot, South Carolina.
Well, I could baby them & a few would do okay here, but I will stick with Dahlias instead. they look Great, good for you.

 

[Ekatarina]

Peonies smells so delicious ...I like those so much!

 

[Snowman]

They Thrive in Full Sun, but the sun down around the Carolina's is Hot going North and Coming back South...!!! Got to protect Them from that extra time under the overhead Sun... Up in upstate New York We had some back on the farm and they did well but the Sun didn't make the earth as hot up there as it does down here and Ekatarina is even a little further North... So She can Really Enjoy those Peonies, Wish They Bloomed even longer, just like the Lilacs up there... Got 10 Lilacs growing here and I can see the problem with the long span of the Sun overhead... Gotta put up some type of meshing to protect them between 11AM - 3PM otherwise they might burn a bit and no SPF50 will help...
