Tijuana Donkey Show Outdoor Garden

[epicorchard]

Looks like the finches are gone! Guess the two dozen un adoptable and mildly aggressive cats I may or may not have rescued seem to be working. I know they are natural predators, but I'm really hoping the use of predatory cats is considered to be an organic gardening practice.

Try being a trend follower. Seriously stressful work.

Thanks. I'd like to thank the sun and water for all their hard work. Also to the worms; they really did a tremendous amount of copulation to make this whole thing come together.

Right on...Cool green house.

I bet the most stressful part about following trends is that the people being followed are already on to the next thing they're going to pioneer by the time they have whatever it is people want to copy from them perfected to the point some one will look at it and say "i'd do it that way" ...

 

[Shcrews]

that's how it is with everything.

ppl used to thing it was impossible to run a 4 minute mile, but then some guy did it in the 1950's. Now it is considered standard for an elite runner, and i think the record is 20 seconds faster, and the new impossible thing is parkour or some shit. That was a bad analogy, no more coffee for me.

cool greenhouse EO

Thanks. I had a lot of help hollowing them out. You can almost stand up inside them. Did it all over the last couple weeks. 30-45 minutes per plant.

My 3rd plant just died. Not a huge loss because I prefer some junk in the trunk, and this one was more of a Olsen sister, white girl on white girl type situation.

The first one that died I wasn't able to investigate in time. The last two were so soft at the base, that the whole stalk separated from the ball. Covering the base, and crawling in and out of what used to be root ways, are countless white root aphids as well as their eggs. Finally got some good pics.

I have also noticed that these plants sat in low spots causing over saturation. I'm guessing root aphids do well in wet conditions. There were pools of water around the base of these mounds. Next year I need better drainage.

 

[Backyard Farmer]

Hopefully not a continuing trend.

 

[analogcricket]

sounds like phylloxera
hopefully you can save the rest in time
