    Imho this video thoroughly and authoritatively lays out how to protect your trees from peach curl. I have 65 peach trees on a hobby farm in WNY. Early in my experience I encountered peach curl and thought it doomed my orchard. I discovered one chemical which has controlled the fungus over a 12-year time period. It takes two applications during dormancy and I have to pay attention to wind speed, potential rainfall, and, bc of location, access due to snow depth. The chemical I love is Fung-onil from Bonide. It is relatively inexpensive and super effective if I get the correct conditions and thoroughly coat each tree. I try to get a first application in November or December and the second in February/March. One application can help, but two is always better. I encourage attention to the advice in the video and thoroughly clean your sprayer when the job is complete. I perform a triple system of rinse, wash with ammonia or vinegar, and rinse. I've never had a problem with my pumps, hoses, or tanks.

    I'm located in Perth, Western Australia and have 60 heritage rose bushes. I'm in my third Summer of fighting Chilli Thrips. Urgh!! 😢 These things.....They become resistant if I use one product. I use both systemic product in soil and apply pesticide weekly during summer. Their breeding cycle is every two weeks. I'm exhausted.

    I just learned so much!! I’m renting a house and it has a 5’ X 10’ bed of irises that haven’t flowered in two years. With all the buildup of dead material I thought they were just dying since they haven’t been tended to in years. I was about to rip them all out and plant all new bulbs. Now I know I just need to remove dead material and divide them! My wife will be so happy in the spring!

    Not just in California anymore... Two sides of our largish yard in Tucson, AZ are lined with mature oleanders showing definite signs of Leaf Scorch. I lovingly planted every single one of these oleanders over the last 30 years. You are correct - no amount of irrigation makes a speck or difference. It's heart-breaking to watch their gradual dissolution into brown and dead sticks. I pray that a brilliant botanist out there is looking for a cure. Antibiotics for oleanders?

    WE HAVE grown Iris for so many years and at one time had over 800 named Iris, all neatly named and labeled (don't ask, My husband is a scientist and detail oriented! ) but now we are 75 and 78 and I'm doing good to label with COLOR, and type (, tall bearded (TB) Standard Bearded (SDB) etc. One of the things we really enjoy is receiving photos from friends of the Iris we have sent to them, then they produce more, and I just received a box of WHITE CHRISTMAS TALL BEARDED from my darling cousin! we sent some to her years ago, I thought we had lost them and she sent more! Happy dancing. sharing is so much fun! this year I am dividing Iris I propagated from my MOM'S garden! I grew up with these HISTORIC Iris from the 1950's! I'LL BEING SENDING TO MY COUSINS and friends WHO LOVED MY MOM! I THINK WHO EVER said "what goes around, comes around" , had to be thinking of IRIS!

  • @MrsguerreradeCristo

    One important question: is it mandatory to soak the rhizomes to loosen up and clean old dirt? if so, how long do you soak them for? And, do you let them dry up before storing them in wood shavings? Or is a second purpose to keep moist in to soak them before storing them? I am trying this for the first time but needed to do it now ( Mid August in zone 3 - late Summer) and mine have been in a pot, got overwatered ( because I watered them😩) and lost a few roots🙁 The soil was sooo clay based and many clumps stayed on and around the roots. Now, after letting them dry in the sun and finally pulling them out of the pots; they are finally drying up but not sure if I want to soak them in water again… Are all the brown shriveled roots dead and shall I pull them all off and just leave the thick white roots on? I really appreciate your help because I want to store them overwinter but found that you can store them also wrapped in paper bags and then inside a cardboard box. How cold should the garage be to store them there? mine is not-insulated. Thank you again for all your help!☺️

    How did your white top stay so clean? I would have had to change my shirt a few times. I have grown irises for many years. It has gotten to the point that drastic measures are taken every few years. Nobody wants them and every time I divide so many get sent to yard waste. I have tried to compost them myself, the foliage is okay but the rhizomes take far too long to break down. In fact I have had volunteer irises wherever I used the compost for awhile. I will probably start thinning them out sooner rather than later just so I have time for other things.
