You can get anything out of mine you want.I’m having shoulder/rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday. Any hopes for an any type of planting this year is shot for me. But at least I can come here and see y’all’s gardens. Keep posting guys!
Sorry to hear that, I know how that is, & can only say there is light at the end of the tunnel. Be Well & stay tuned for more garden experiences we will share with you this season. 😀I’m having shoulder/rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday.

They may come back if you leave them.My stupid mother put the (heirloom from gifted seeds) tomatoes out when it was really windy. Broke the damned stems. Lost em all. Part of me thinks this was planned because now she is going to go buy determinant ones at the store.
She already tossed them. 🥺 I was so happy with how nicely they all came up and so quickly. Probably shouldn't have started them quite as early. Now she wants to plant lettuce, spinach, beats, and carrots, and those should have likely been done a couple of weeks ago. But hey, el genio está hablando otra vez.They may come back if you leave them.

Make sure you invest in a cold therapy type machine. Basically a cooler with a pump and a setup that circulates cold water in a loop around your shoulder area. My wife said it made a world of difference in here recovery. If you need anything holler i'm just over here in the Q'I’m having shoulder/rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday.

Thanks! Glad you mentioned the cold therapy device. They told me about them and said they were available if I wanted one. Wasn’t sure if it was legit or gimmicky.Make sure you invest in a cold therapy type machine. Basically a cooler with a pump and a setup that circulates cold water in a loop around your shoulder area.

MAN! that is beautiful stuff.20 tons of composted leaves dumped at the house this morning to condition the garden again. Did it 2 years ago and it was the best garden we’ve had.

Fine by me, I really dislike them anyway. I think my dad is the only one who likes them. I've even had them marinated and cooked in Ethiopian seasoning and they still tasted like dirt.Don’t plant beats, they won’t do well
Yeah, I don’t like beats either, but beets on the other hand, I love.Fine by me, I really dislike them anyway. I think my dad is the only one who likes them. I've even had them marinated and cooked in Ethiopian seasoning and they still tasted like dirt.
Ok, I now see my typo. Ha ha, and Toiché.Yeah, I don’t like beats either, but beets on the other hand, I love.
and here I was -all this time- thinking we could be friends!Fine by me, I really dislike them anyway. I think my dad is the only one who likes them. I've even had them marinated and cooked in Ethiopian seasoning and they still tasted like dirt.
I think one of our trees has a few. First year for it. A couple of the trees are 2-3 years old and should be producing. Was having a lot of trouble getting trees to survive and I finally convinced my mother to try planting them in the FALL not spring and so far they have survived. Also used the post hole auger to drill them a nice starter hole when we planted them.2 seasons ago we got 1 last year none, and this year 🤔 well see 30s coming up soon.
This year, I believe, will be multiple species of cicadas.I'm just hoping the damn Japanese beetles ain't so bad this year. I put out traps and get rid of as many as I can but last year they was terrible.
We plant all of our pecans in January just because they don’t start digging down in GA until then. It’s definitely better planting as early as possible while they are dormant and to get some root growth before spring when they start breaking bud and pushing growth from their carbohydrate stores.I think one of our trees has a few.

a coworker gave me 2 blueberries a few weeks ago, both maybe 18". Kind of late to transplant, so I'm not counting on anything. She also gave me a fig, which seems to have taken pretty well. I got 2 figs in the ground last fall my uncle gave me, only 1 has started rowing new leaves so far. the other one might have given up the ghost of figgy pudding. Then again, it looks like the main "trunk" was rotting back then, but a second branch was trying to come in to replace it. I'll let it be for a while.Haven't taken any recent pics of the blueberries, but they are about 12' tall again and covered with berries. I mowed the orchard this morning and got covered up with dried up blooms. The new bee hives I put out there were not happy when I mowed past them, but only got stung once on the side of the thigh.
Try Spinosad it works on flea beetles & Japanese beetles.I'm just hoping the damn Japanese beetles ain't so bad this year. I put out traps and get rid of as many as I can but last year they was terrible.
if you have weight restrictions, you might have trouble lifting it...Thanks! Glad you mentioned the cold therapy device. They told me about them and said they were available if I wanted one. Wasn’t sure if it was legit or gimmicky.
I told my wife i'll have to spend time on squirrel patrol this year. She was saying a few weeks ago how we didn't get any pears growing last year. This year it looks like we may have a whole bunch.Las season we got a few Asian pears, this year it looks really full.
Are they European pears?You can't just eat them off the tree,
I stew pears all the time just like apples. Then I can eat them like they are while warm or I can use them for pie filling, fritters, biscuit bombs, or any number of thing down the road.I told my wife i'll have to spend time on squirrel patrol this year.

They never really get soft though. You can't just eat them off the tree, so I'm gonna insist she learns some pear pie recipes... if she doesn't I will.
sounds good to me.I stew pears all the time just like apples. Then I can eat them like they are while warm or I can use them for pie filling, fritters, biscuit bombs, or any number of thing down the road.
Our fig did the same thing. It looked like it died last year, but has sprouts coming back up from the base.Then again, it looks like the main "trunk" was rotting back then, but a second branch was trying to come in to replace it. I'll let it be for a while.
Same thing. Great grandma called them stewed apples. I guess cause they stew in the pan with all the sugers and seasonings. I mix some clear cornsyrup with water amd butter for my base then some cinnamon and brown sugar just a touch of sweet paprika. Let the apples, pears or whatever stew awhile on medium/low heat. I like to do my peaches in a cast iron with little butter and cinnamon then I drizzle them with Mike's Hot Honey there deliciousI don't know about your stewing... but i did simmer a couple dozen down real good with a lot of sugar, and then add a pile of butter and cinnamon.
Dr suggested one. Wish that I would have known about those when I had my knee surgeries. It’s been awesome!if you have weight restrictions, you might have trouble lifting it...
my wife had one after abdominal surgery. Every morning and night i got to fill it with ice and water for her, then walk it over to the bed. neat little circulating water bath though. very similar to what we used in labs for maintaining animal body temps.
We have a similar pear species, pears hard as heck. We canned several quarts one year, delicious!sounds good to me.
If you slice them thin fresh off the tree, they're still pretty darn good.
I don't know about your stewing... but i did simmer a couple dozen down real good with a lot of sugar, and then add a pile of butter and cinnamon. Nearly made myself sick eating so much.
Keep them watered and you might be surprised. Maybe give them a shot of acidic fertilizer also.a coworker gave me 2 blueberries a few weeks ago, both maybe 18". Kind of late to transplant, so I'm not counting on anything.
Fire blight has almost killed all my pears, European and Asian. Fire blight and cedar apple rust have taken a toll on my apple trees as well.
