primsongNow everyone say it with me... If Prim puts plants in peat pellets, plus pouring the pitcher upon them, how many pop-up peat pot plants does Prim produce?
That's my question for this coming spring - I'm happily experimenting with those cute little pop-up peat pot pellets in my little greenhouse, and soaking the seeds for my favorites (sweet-peas) tonight to pop into the peat pots, along with a few other fun seeds, delphiniums, foxgloves, some tomatoes and summer squash...that sort of thing. There are so many bulb-tips coming up out of the ground in this yard I am rather boggled - I'll have to get pictures when it all starts blooming.
Anyone with advice on whether its worth it to spray fruit-trees? I have apple, Italian prune and cherry - there's some sort of dormant spray that you're supposed to get on them before the leaves come out, isn't there? And Tinidril - thank Faithwalker for me for the suggestion of using the corn gluten to keep the weeds down around the grapes. :-)
I am such a newbie at this, but enjoying it too. Back to my peat-pots now - I'm going out to see if they really popped up like they were supposed to if you poured water on them. :-D

Date: 2005-02-03 08:15 pm (UTC)I would spray cherries... they are so yummy, and get so wormy if you don't. Seems like you have to do several aplications. As for apples, I always cut them up anyway to dry in a dehydrator for food storage so i didnt mind cutting out the worm spots, and as apple trees tend to produce over-abundantly... there always seemed to be enough that were untouched to put on the table. I never had to spray prunes, but maybe the bugs in Oregon are different? Anyway.. sure wish I had some fruit trees! I am sure your new yard will be full of all sorts of delightful things this spring! :-)
