Squirrel, sorry I never knew there was actually a tree rat.You got a tree rat? Squirrel or fruit tree rat? I had fruit rats once, neighbors said they were around for years, enjoying plum tree, grape vines, pear trees, etc. I set some of the Hav a Hart rat traps with fruit as bait. What caught them in minutes was when I added Fruit Flavor Zupreem pellets lol. Those little dudes had tunneled into my raised beds, were living in them! Destroyed what I planted in the raised beds by burrowing in the roots. Yes, I caught & relocated those ornery buggers.
Mine came back this year.Zone 6b Gardner here!
We have lots of stuff coming up and a few blossoms coming through.
Strawberry blossoms pictured.
Have a question for 6b peeps,
Have you had your asparagus come back up yet?
My plants would be second year crowns this year. Let them grow and fluff out last year and trimmed them back before spring this winter.
Have yet to see any popping up.
Is it to early or are they done for?
Recipe for Bordeaux mix?I alternate my sprays between Bordeaux Mix (handmade - not prepackaged - from Copper Sulfate and hydrated lime) and Captan. I prefer the Bordeaux Mix to the commercial copper sprays because it seems to work better for me. It doesn't wash off from rain either which is another bonus because a lot of stone fruit fungus releases spores DURING rainy weather.
Bonide makes a Captan Fruit Tree spray but you have to carefully read the label because they have 2 products that go by "fruit tree spray" but only one actually has Captan.
