	It's amazing how great it is when your plants are growing really well. As opposed to last year when I was overwatering the hell out of most of my (non-citrus) plants, this year I think I've been water ...

	Like the wild bear, the North American Psimitry comes out of his cave once a year to ask: what am I doing wrong? Actually...this year I'm NOT asking that - because my trees are looking pretty decen ...

	So my peach tree has been in the ground for about three years now. Last year it produced fruit for the first time, which got to be the size of an apricot (the flavor was actually pretty good, though!) ...

	Turns out it IS a bermuda hybrid. I don't know if the hybrid aspect would be less allergy aggravating or not. I also just found out about something called Centipede grass yesterday, but as I read abou ...

	I'm BACK..terminator style. So my grass this year....man did I make a mess of things. I think I over de-thatched last fall, didn't properly maintenance my winter grass, and haven't been doing the ...

	Welp. So my blackberry experiments don't appear to be doing well. The plants I ordered have been in the ground for three weeks with no signs of life. Additionally the one I picked up from the nurs ...

	Couple quick questions: 1. Should I be fertilizing this tree to improve the eventual fruit that comes from it? 2. I noticed a few birds landing on the branches. Should I be tying blank CD's to ...

	When you planted yours, how long did it take to leaf out? I've had them in the ground for a week now and nary a leaf to be seen.

	Blood orange tree this year. So this guy has come roaring back from winter with the leaf count....not so much with the growing upwards though. I realize it's a dwarf, but it'd be nice to see it get ov ...
