february -the last winter month!
Comments (42)Nothing significant on that front yet. Negative NAO is the problem,fueled by El Nino's moisture supply.The funny thing is El Nino was at it's strongest in early Jan just when we had the coldest weather! This winter is one for the bizzarro record books.I have never seen a moderate El Nino(which should bring mild winter weather and few Arctic outbreaks)smashed by the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation)it is in a negative faze now but is predicted to go neutral by early March. Take it with a grain of(road) salt though until it happens! We do have some 40s in the 15 day forecast,we'll see,they tend to be pulled back about the time you believe it! BTW What you were referring to is a Polar low over Hudson bay keeping us in a Northwest flow aloft,it has been like this for over 2 years(for the most part),since Dec 2007 It would be very encouraging to see a strong Bermuda high this summer but it has been squashed by that dang NAO for to long-this is also what has effected the hurricane season. Pray for a warm spring/we can deal with a cool summer-RIGHT?(-;...See MoreInconstant February, a most difficult month
Comments (20)Oh, sorry, the Tomato Race is merely my description for the general tomato tenor around these parts right about now. We like our tomatoes big, amusingly named and EARLY. Early earlybirds planted their seeds indoors in February. Earlybirds start them in March. Nurseries are already fully stocked with tomato plants, even though you can hear customers muttering, "It's too early for tomatoes" as they walk by the displays. It IS too early... if it weren't for Wall O'Waters and greenhouses and sunny kitchen windowsills. ;-) Hey, John, what varieties did you grow around here?!!! I'd be curious to compare your favorites to the current favorites. As for tomato hornworms, I could NEVER cut one in half! Oh, the horror. First of all, it'd probably make me throw up and faint (in that order) and secondly, don't you think they're kind of adorable with their tiny dog-like tails and big round eyes? Besides, there are some neato beneficial insects that parasitize hornworms, putting worm murder on their little consciences, not mine....See MoreOBF FEBRUARY-- Month of love!!
Comments (149)Margo, so great to hear baby Anslow went home. Shirely, how adorable your little Elijah is. Grandhildren are so amazing. I just spent the weekend visiting some of mine in Cleveland. It is always hard to leave even though I am only a little over an hour away.. They are so full of energy and happiness. We are truly blessed. Melinda, thank you so much for hosting the February swap, I really loved it and look forward to what great ideas you ladies have in store for next month!...See MoreWhat citrus bloom or flowers can you show us for February 2019
Comments (110)Ok first off the enabling part of this conversation lol. There are a few varieties of seedless excellent flavored mandarins that are currently being tested in Florida. Bingo , US Early Pride which is a seedless Fallglo, Seedless snack , Marathon and the low seeded Roe Tangerine and Aroema tangerine the list goes on and on lol . Something to look really forward to in the future definitely!!!! Amy I love the retirement thing , so looking forward to the gardening season . I love not having to go out early in the morning fighting the snow and rush hour traffic!!! . Amy I'm with you I would love to get my hands on a Daisy, who knows we might be taking a trip to Toronto in the spring. Amy I know you've always been interested with the Valentine but were you not interested in the Hirado Buntan Pommelo lol? Amy I've been battling Aphids off and on for the last month and a half . I've been spraying them with neem also when I water I spray the tree's down . I must admit even with the aphid problems my tree's have never looked so good thank goodness. How have your tree's been doing ? Your Moro and Shiranui look so nice !!! So Amy lol do you still have room for any new varieties ? I so don't lol . Jan the pictures of your Greenhouse would easily make it on to a cover of a gardening magazine, its such a lovely peaceful space !!!! Jan lol no flip flops and shorts yet, another month maybe . The maximum high temperature in the GH when the sun is on it has been running 70 to 73 F very comfortable. The night time lows in there have been running 44 to 45 F very cool , its just been so darn cold outside !!! Sugar loves it in there but when it hits around 70 he wants out , he's not to fussy about the heat . Jan lol I'm not going to enable you , I would not want to see you loose all that beautiful space for your table and chairs. Jan it's like I have two little guys sitting on my shoulders , one saying don't buy anymore and the other saying go for it which varieties are you still looking for lol? Jan there are so many that I feel the need to get from Brugmansia Quebec ---Ponkan , sanguinelli, Xie-Shan, Hirado Buntan not to mention the Nordman seedless kumquat from Phoenix, its killing me . Jan the next time you water give those tree's a good hose down that might help with the aphids and all that sticky stuff . Jan ain't it therapeutic lol, I know exactly that same feeling . Well tomorrow is the 1st of March which climatically is the first day of spring we are almost there Yippee!!!! Brian...See Moresultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish)
