Any advice on over wintering my strawberries? I have a small patch of about 30 plants. Do they need to be covered all winter or do I just trim the dead stuff going into spring?

Anyone got an idea on how to deal with blight? Last year we (my wife) accidentally bought some spray to deal with it for non fruit bearing plants. Needless to say with her being pregnant we basically 86'd our small crop.
I've read this shit lives in soil and comes out in wet, damp climate. Can you treat the soil beforehand, or should i cave in and move the garden to a new spot? I know they make chemicals for food bearing plants too. |

Lots of blooms happening with this mild AZ spring we've had. Most blooms I've had on the plumeria.

That iris is really cool. Is it a particular kind?

Everything is in. 6 raised beds total. Three are fenced in to keep critters out. Those that aren't have onions, taters, asparagus, butternut squash and zuccini. Those that are fenced have tomatoes, peppers, okra, tomatillos, green beans, and carrots. Now just gotta wait.

I built a raised bed for my tomatoes and peppers this year. I finally found a great spot in my front yard last year, the back is just too shady. But you hit clay fairly shallow in that area, so I built the raised bed to give me another foot or so of depth.
Now I just need to fill it in with dirt and other material so I can plant. I'm planning on some compost, manure and top soil to fill it in. I'll turn the existing soil into all that and should have a pretty good place to grow. Any suggestions on what else to mix in with the soil that's good for tomatoes?

I'm just a fan of white oaks; always have been. Acorns looked cool, really pretty leaves with those rounded white oak lobes. And an oak that gets red coloration in the leaves in the fall is pretty slick.

If I ever decide to take my maple out (because Maples just bore the hell out of me) I'll probably replace it with a Linden in the side yard out front.

If your pH is low, lime. If you have clay under there, organic matter is your friend. Id get into the clay as much as you're tough enough to do and mix in some 50/50 manure and something like sawdust and cedar chips. And then do your topsoil/manure whatever mix for your bed. Organic matter is your friend in clay. I'd also plant some sort of brassica in the fall when you're done. If you can get roots to penetrate it, you'll gain a shitload of water infiltration in wet spells. God ****ing clay. |
