peat moss has not really that much in the way of nutrients. you may need to give it a bit more nitrogen. also there are other considerations like if it is at the end of a row and getting more winds that could be drying it out or perhaps it is near a wall and gets heated up more or ? does...

we've had rain quite often this past spring and we had Red Flag warning day yesterday. because of high winds. so glad to see that NM and CO did get some rains this past week - my sister and her clan live out in NM and CO so for many years i've been keeping a watch on the water situation out...

give it a few weeks... it will perk up... :)

i'm not sure where you are located or what your soils are like there, but to keep acidic soil loving plants going in tougher places you can plant on mounds of amended soils to help keep the plants happier, but that also means you have to make sure they get enough moisture and yet not too much...

still not happening...

i suspect we set another record of some sort for how much rain we had last month. i think we had water over the road three times at least in April. normally that happens about once every few years. Jan was 7th wettest since records were kept and Mar was 3rd wettest...

it was sunny windy and warm here too today. nice day for doing something that didn't involve fabric or plastic blowing in the breeze (unless i were flying a kite perhaps, but i wasn't :) )...

i'm glad it didn't get run over by someone running a lawn mower. sometimes one of the neighbors will mow on their big riding lawn mower along the road (1/4 mile to a 1/2 mile on each side). looked it up, $25 for the bottle.

i went out to look at the killdeer eggs in a nest. one of the parents (probably the Momma) was standing over them while it was plenty warm out with the sun she was actually shading them to keep them cooler. this birdie knows us as she was much tamer than some from the past who have had nests...

finished mowing and didn't get rained on. someone lost a full bottle of tree poison along the road so i picked it up and will have it for the times i might need it. right now one woody thorn bush i'll want to use it on (i've cut it back several times already) but i have no idea when i'll get...

i was up for a bit and thought i could get a little more sleep in and did manage to do that. :)

i ❤️ beans :)

something to wear while chasing a poultry guest (sorry it's before i'm really awake but yes this is how my brain sort of works in the morning :) )...

yes, they keep changing today's weather forecast but i'm likely to go out and mow anyways even if it is raining a little because the rest of the week forecast is even more rain and right now the ditch is mostly empty of water for the first time in several weeks and i'd like to get it mowed...

before mowing i had to do the usual oil change and since i wasn't sure how much oil i would need and the oil i had on hand was enough i had to run into town to get some more. so i got to meet the new hardware store (well it's the old hardware store now being run by other people) people and was...

i just took a few minuteses to read up on it. wow... never had heard of it before (no big surprise as i don't go out of my way any more to find yet more things to do on-line or on the computer :) ). looks like fun. i've played some of the Star Trek and other space trading games in much more...

got the back, side and some of the front mowed, but i'm not in that great of shape so i quit at the halfway point (which isn't really halfway as it is likely more like 2/3rds of the way) and called it enough for the day. will finish up tomorrow... i had to take a break part way through what i...

it is morel season here and i found four small ones while walking back towards the house. with all the rain we've had this is not a surprise. i'll leave the small ones alone so they can keep spreading more spores around but if a nice bigger one pops up i'll bring it in and rinse it off (saving...

we got this new weed wacker because Mom wanted to use it. will she use it? no. i can go one charge with it at a time which is about an hour. if i am moving i can do most of what needs to get done in that hour. do i want to do it? no. does it get done? so far twice a year for trimming...
