New flushes
« on: October 10, 2013, 12:08:05 PM »
Several trees  are pushing a new flush.  How's the timing on this --- early, late, normal?

I don't know about the others, but wow, i'm surprise at your peach. Here in California, we still have some variety with very late fruits, still on the trees and still are full of leaves, from this year's growing season. Same with some variety of plums.

Also have mangos flushing it should be ok. The new flush should harden by December just in time to start flowering.

I just notice in your second picture, you use the fabric breathable bags. do you notice any differences in growing rate and root system? I'm lazy and a cheapskate atm, so I just drill 1/4" hole in all my pots every 1/2" or so all around the pots. I don't know if they will work , as, I just did it two weeks ago. Might be next spring, before, I can find out, if my cheap ways will do the same as those bags and air pot/smart pot does.

I've noticed mango trees flushing in St. Pete and Sarasota. Mine began growing in mid September and are finishing up now. Last month was pretty wet. Probably normal behavior since many trees are putting out new growth at the same time. When it is cool and there is a lot of rain, the trees do not put out any new foliage.

I'm a fan of Shiba Inu, but mine fertilizes only the backyard lawn. :(

Super cute puppy! My shiba will only fertilize neighbor's bushes. Will hold it for hours not to dirty his own territory.  :P

I just knew a pic with the new puppy would catch interest.  She's 10 weeks old and without Chloe the Lab to play with for hours things would be very ruff.   ::)   She picks up leaves from the Cogshall and I hope the avocado leaves don't become a problem.  Crate and obedience training started right away.  This is one stubborn breed but she's improving every day.

Here they are --- Yoshi is almost civilized.

Dan,

Nice pictures, cute looking dogs. Trees are looking nice and healthy.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
