     Here we are, the beginning of May, and I am still getting huge amounts of e-mails from folks in Texas worried about their citrus trees after the horrible February Frozengeddon. Not only are many folks just wondering if the new growth is what the tree originally was, NOW they are sending me a different issue! Ambrosia Beetle damage or some other tree borer.       I wrote about this pest some years ago, so I figured it was time to bring it out of mothballs and update it slightly for the current issues. Granted, the first writing had to do with Avocados, B ..read more

Just Hanging Around!

     Every so often, I get asked to test a product, review a product, or just get asked my opinion. I try to respond to all requests.      Today, I will give you a short review of one of the recent products I got asked about. It was a Set of 3- 12 inch Hanging coco planter baskets.  I know what you are saying, "I see those all of the time everywhere!" I would agree with you, so I was hesitant to try them. How much different could they be?            I was PLEASANTLY surprised!  The chain and basket itself are very stu ..read more

     Over the past month or so, I have gotten SO MANY e-mails, I just have not been able to reply to all of them, I would have had to quit work! So, my apologies to those in Texas that have e-mailed me and I haven't responded.       More than likely, if you are reading this, you are from Texas and googled what to do for your poor citrus tree after the freeze in February. For those that are just reading this from other parts of the country/world, let me lay a little groundwork.       February, 2021-Texas: A record low temperature at Da ..read more

A New Year and Change of Venue

     Happy New Year, Folks! For my long-time followers, you have probably realized that I am no longer in Charleston, SC. If you are new to my blog, I had lived the past 22 years in Charleston and my blog was heavily centered on being in that location.      Many of my articles were fairly generic and were useful for anybody, anywhere, in the world. Today, I wanted to give you some food for thought on what goes into a move from a gardener's perspective. Especially, if it is to a different USDA growing zone.      If you have never seen this map ..read more

     Today, we will discuss a few smaller items that might be good for Stocking Stuffers or if you just need a small gift. These are miscellaneous things that, while by themselves may not seem overly exciting, they can and WILL be very useful! (Amazon Affiliate Links Alert)   #1-4" Plant Tags- My mother may disagree with me on this, but, tagging plants is very important! Especially when you have multiples of the same thing planted, i.e. seeds in pots. You need to know whether that little thing coming up is a carrot, fennel, tomato, or a weed. These multi-color tags ar ..read more

     For the 9th Day of Christmas, instead of the ladies dancing, let's have them preserving all of that glorious produce they will be harvesting!      Like most gardeners, if yours is any kind of a farmer, they will have an overabundance of fruits and veggies come harvest time. What to do with all of that food? Preserve it!      I only have two items for you today, but they can REALLY be nice as gifts, especially if YOU end up being on the receiving end of the final product! These will be Amazon affiliate links, and I use both of these seemin ..read more

     For the 7th day of Christmas, your gardener will be swimming with the swans all year long, if you get them one of these ideas. I only list three, BUT, if your gardener is not interested in any of these, there are MANY others out there. I will explain in a moment.      The Gift of Membership- Giving them a membership to their favorite plant society or other horticultural/gardening group for a year will have them remembering YOU all year!
