Well it has been getting watered really well we have had alot of rain and I have always babied that tree. I have already cut the lower trunk growth back once this spring in hopes the energy would go to the buds. Guess I'll just have to cut it and let it start again :/ This tree is about 7...

Hey wifezilla-I do feel your frustration :hugs , between the cutworms, hail and cooltemps nothing is looking as good as it should around here. But the cool thing about most plants is they are resillant and once (if) we get some warm and sunny weather things will spring back. I can give you...

I have a cottonwood tree that seemed to be doing fine early spring and getting buds. Here it is June and it has never budded out. I have scratched the bark on the limbs and it is still green but it seems the buds just dried up. There is new growth on the lower trunk. This tree is about 15 ft...

Thanks for the good thoughts ya'll. wifezilla--I thought it was too soft also till I went out, I think it just came down with such force. Those silly ducks :) but they must be loving all the rain, my geese are. Steve--I will keep smiling, I am glad it is still early on so I can replace if...

My garden was looking pretty good considering late snows, cold temps, cutworms and some minor flooding 2 weeks ago, in fact I just told my DH this am that I thought my one lone brussels sprout (cutworms ate the other 5 :barnie) had doubled in size overnight, 30 bean plants were up and one of my...

The results have been pretty good, most plants are untouched now, I sprayed a total of 3 times. We are getting rain daily so haven't sprayed in a few days. I think sprinkling the cornmeal then spraying it worked the best. I will definately keep the BT on hand.

If I'm not mistaken it means the leaves are crinkly :)

wifezilla, since you gave me some seeds for some cool greens which I'm sure they will munch on the fall crop consider yourself like a official quail auntie or something :gig

Right now I garden with chickens (50), geese(2), dogs-2 Aussies, a golden ret and a mini schnauzer, 3 cats keep tabs on the herb garden and my Amazon parrot and my cockatoo talk to me when they are out in their cages with me in the garden. We are hopeing to add Bobwhite Quail to the group in a...

Most times I am running around the garden like a igit covering things with lawn chairs, empty pots with rocks on top, benches etc... My tomatoes and peppers are in walls o water so they are protected. Yesterday we got flooded thought my taters were going to float away, so far today light rain...

Steve, we are about 20 miles east of Colorado Springs. We had such a mild winter there is just an over abundance of the little buggers. The BT certainly helped save my garden I had cutworms climbing my collars :ep . I am seeing more miller moths so hopefully folks will start seeing some...

I try to do some companion planting, this year more than other years. But I find myself not remembering what is suppose to go with what :hu then running in the house and looking it up on the computer so I don't get as much done for all my running back and forth and by the time I get back...

I would think you would want to use the wooden ones so they hold up better, with watering and such :happy_flower

I finally got into town and bought my BT, applied it this evening so we will see how it works :fl :fl .
