I'm sorry. Mine got here in a couple of weeks. But you also ordered bulbs right?
I'll bet that's why. Sorry.

My Papillon loves chasing squirrels! Not many around here.Which surprised me because there are lots of nut trees.

We have a ton of oaks, hickory and pecan trees. I am wiping out the ones that get in my garden.

You can do it. You might look at the little book published by Sunset: Garages and sheds. Excellent resource for the wanna be carpenter.

Thanks LG! Just what I need.

We bought the 40 crocus from Amazon, bought 10 Dalia from Costco then BF had tulips for Mothers day (forgot the when) 6 or 8 of them still trying to figure out where to plant them

So today I thought I’d take down my trellis of wild blackberries. Nope, that won’t happen till they stop fruiting in the summer, then I’ll chop almost to the ground and neaten up the canes that regrow. I did however end up pulling up all the starts where the canes touched the ground over the winter, over 80 starts. I’m going to need a bigger trellis! 80 starts from four plants, not bad! Maybe berry production will be as good.
The trellis. (With tarp behind it to see better.) The ones on the left are an early wild variety, they’ve got flower buds already. That’s just four plants on that side. The ones on the the right are a later variety that starts ripening just as the first stops producing. I mulched them with all the bedding from the duck coop last year, took it out of the coop and put it right on the blackberries, they went crazy! They grew at least 24ft last year, I cut off 6ft canes about three or four times last year (fed those to the goats) and they’re still about 8ft long

Starts.

Also, the strawberries and apples think the groundhog is wrong. Hopefully it won’t freeze again cause the apples are LOADED with blossoms. Last year they bloomed and set about 100-150 apples on each of my two trees and then we had a late frost, I got about 10.

Wow Dan your plants look beautiful!
We have blackberry's scattered all over the pasture. The cows keep them fertilzed. Lol
My few apples last year got end rot.
I don't know why.
If it dries up I need to spray them with some dormant oil.
I need to re-plant my strawberries I got something in the soil that ate nearly all my berries last year. I am going to use a mollasses wash on the soil this year. It's suppose to keep the nematode's from eating them.
If you have ant pointers I would appreciate it.
You have such a green thumb.

 

[lazy gardener]

Dan, your blackberry cultivars are VERY different than the ones we have up here!

 

[pennyJo1960]
