I planted some pole bean, corn, and squash seed yesterday. Tomatoes and pepper plants are already in the ground, and the cooler weather crops will come out in a couple days.
Today, the Mrs and I have been partaking of some spring cleaning in the front enclosure. I broke out the old cement mixer and have been dumping soil from old pots into it and repotting plants. So far, I've repotted the Bay Tree, 2 Natal Plum bushes, several banana trees, and a Date palm.
It's amazing how the potting soil compacts over a year, and how little it takes to break it up again. I've been mixing in fresh horse manure to complement the older soil.
Our mulberry tree is full of immature fruit already. It should start ripening in a couple weeks. Hopefully, I can beat the birds to it.
I've been having trouble with grapes. I've planted muscadines and Siebel 9110 because of the problem with Pierces Disease in the area, but I just don't seem to have any luck with them. The amazing grape is one that I grew from a grape seed from the grocery store........It just doesn't seem to be affected by anything and keeps plugging along.
Sounds like you need to get some more grapes from the grocery store. We have trouble with grapes. One year it was coons, one year drought, another year some sort of fungus or blight.
Have yet to get a big enough crop for wine.
Your local ag dept might want to know about your Pierce’s disease resistant grapevine. Seriously. I’ve got the same issues wrt disease and I keep talking myself out of planting grapes. I want something fairly low maintenance. Not a moneypit project that requires ever increasing allotments of my time.
Where did you get your grape/muscadines that were purchased?
