What projects have you been saving for after the autumn Equinox

[bovine421]

hey Bovine,

-Clearing out outdoor space and dead plants from the summer harvest(mini)
-Planning if I wanted to buy more mango trees in the spring/summer
-testing out my proopigation heater mat on mango tree

Of course you're going to buy another mango tree you silly goose! That is so nice that you bought a electric blankey for your tree. I should get one for my soursop.

When its finally cool enough to go outside without drinking a liter of water every hour which it still isn't and due to an A-hole move on my neighbors part and putting up an unsightly fence which adds to my projects I have lots to do.

1. Clear saw palmetto patches in three different areas.
2. Bring in a butt load of mulch to put along the unsightly a-hole fence
3. Plant low growing trees along the fence line to try and block the view of it. Thinking bottlebrush, olive, loquats with some smaller bushes and such. if it was a privacy fence I would add blue berry and cool stuff like that but the 4 foot tall fence he is building isn't going to stop or deter deer.
4. Plant warm weather tolerant rhododendrons and azaleas around one of the oaks that currently has palm under it.
5. at least 5 trees need replacing
6. repair the irrigation system
7. Repair and improve the shooting range
8.  up pot many odds and ends

We're still waiting for something that might resemble autumn in SoFlo.  So far we've had an extension of summer rain only--it wont' freakin' stop!  Raining as I write this.  Maybe a few degrees cooler than August, but the deep humidity remains.

In 15-30 days i will take out 1 acre of olive trees (that produce nothing), add irrigation and prepare the soil for next spring. Already done soil analysis.
It is a nice slope with southern exposure and protection from the north.
I will add 80 citrus trees (all different varieties), several white sapote, cherimoya and pawpaw seedlings that i will graft in 2022 and longan, lychee and guava plants.
It will be the first "organised" planting of fruits trees other than grape vines and olive trees so i am really looking forward to it

That sounds like an awesome project. If we were under normal circumstances and I didn't think I would just be in your way. I would volunteer to come and help you. I like the sound of lychee guava and grapes. If you could find a protected area within your citrus to plant one mango tree that would be spectacular.

I'm sure your plants will be quite pleased. Please remember to give us a virtual photo tour when you have completion.

I could try one mango, but maybe a cost free seedling and if it survives i could graft it. I have a 2.5 acre land in Paros (Greek island in the Aegean sea) zone 11a and i have already planted some seedling mangoes last december that didnt even notice the winter. So mangoes, sapodilla, canistel are going to be planted there.

Unfortunately I missed the local Spring equinox and so could carry out all those activities suited to when the earth passes the geometric center of the Sun's disk. I have to wait another 6 months and should be getting my list of summer solstice appropriate tasks ready for when that comes around in about 10 weeks time.
