Tis so sad, but true. Sometimes the organic ways just don’t cut the mustard! Then ya gotta make a choice - do without or go with the stronger stuff.
I have to do that periodically with my lemon tree. I wait untill I have harvested all the fruit, and spray it with pyola a couple of times really good. Then I kinda pick off the flowers after they bloom for a while. Once the foilage is looking healthy again, I’ll let the flowers set fruit.
So far I can get at least a year and a half between doses.
I look forward to hearing more from you, as your climate is so different from here. Happy gardening to you too.
Story of my life. my 4x4’s are now in their 9th month of existence. I used the Mel’s Mix formula in one and I took a shot at figuring it out for myself in another.
Carrots, onions, tomatoes you name it went into those gardens. Nothing but beautiful flowers and no fruit.
Finally, a baby tomato, a baby carrot, a baby zucchini, some string beans. Not enough for one lunch. I lost all hope.
Yesterday I went out to the garden with the intent to plow it all under, let it rot and wait for next year. To my suprise hidden under all the flora and fauna was a zucchini, a little smaller then the length of my hand. Or is it a squash? It is green AND yellow.
So after all this work, I ind up with one veggie and it has an identity crisis. But like they say in golf, it only takes one good shot to keep you coming back. I am looking forward to the next planting season.
I have a meyers lemon that has one good size fruit on it and has been there for a few months. It is still green, any ideas? I know nothing of lemons, just how to make lemonade, southern style.
