Today's cover shot: Another of my favorite effects of Mother Nature.
Tuesday - I've got a schedule that is pretty full but it's mostly just dealing with the schedules of other people. I've got an appliance repairman coming sometime mid-day but they're like the cable installers so you never know when they'll show up. My washing machine decided to eat its belt so it's been down for about a week waiting for the Maytag Repairman. And, if I get freed up from that, I've got to make a run to order some more parts for my riding mower. Lately I just can't seem to use it without breaking something. Maybe I'm asking it to do too much. It could just be getting old I guess but I hate the thought of having to buy a new one. But, this one's not that old.... I just use it a lot.
Have a great Tuesday!!!!!
Carol - How did your Dahlias do over the winter? I know I advised you on how to prepare them based on what my Master Gardener friend told me. Oops! I'm going to dig up some of the bulbs this weekend to take a look but I don't see any sign of growth on about half of them. I've never dug them up in the past but I think this year's weather might have been too much for them.
Blazers entering playoff round TWO today. Do we DARE to have a glimmer of hope or will they just stab us in the heart.... again????
Mr Ed...I didn't dig up my Dahlias last fall but the ones by the side of the house are coming up. The ones in the backyard border are buried by the damned Bluebells, I will have to dig them up to let the Dahlia starts have some sun...had to do that last year too. I wish there were a way to kill the Bluebells. They are pretty, but the just take over. I've researched them, but the general consensus is that they are much like English Ivy, can't kill it. GRRRRRR
As to the Blazers, I won't hold my breath on tonight's game, hope they win but...?
Carol - I wonder how the Bluebells would do with a mixture of Crossbow and Roundup. If it is like many plants, you have to make repeated applications.... basically every time they come up. The problem with that though is that it will kill everything so you might have to leave the flower bed empty for a year. Crossbow is deadly on woody stem plants & Roundup takes out the roots.... but only the ones attached to plant you're spraying. Boiling hot water also might do them in. I like the boiling water because it's environmentally friendly but the weeds hate it.
Mr.Ed, those are great suggestions, but my Dahlias are too close for that type of attack. Also, other plants would be killed, it's a small area.
Carol - In that case, don't spray. You can paint the mixture onto the offending plant. It's more work but it will selectively kill what you don't want. It's absorbed through the green leaves so don't let it get onto anything green on the plants you want to keep. If you do get some on the green, just rinse it off.... no harm, no foul. Once it hits the ground it's inert.
