The gardens were quite overgrown and out of hand from the mild winter and insanely rainy summer. Yesterday I got the two new Mayhaws in the ground, as well a 24" Cypress that was a gift from Mr. Norb.<br />
<br />
Today we pulled out the four Pomegranates in the front beds. Nothing wrong with them, but as the plants are growing, things have gotten a bit too tight in those beds so I hooked strap to the truck hitch and out they came. Then we trimmed the two Lantana that also had gotten way beyond their boundaries. The Rangoon Creeper was taken to the ground. <br />
<br />
Afterward, our attentions focused on the Dog Yard area. We trimmed back the Rio Red Grapefruit, the big W. filifera and pulled out the Mirliton vines harvesting the remaining 20 to 30 vegetables.
After tackling a few other misc items we had filled and emptied the back of the pickup 4 times. We were done for the day.

The summer was miserably hot. But the Okra, planted late responded with awesome growth and a bountiful crop. The Mustard Greens recently put in are growing by leaps and bounds. I even tried juicing some, along with apples, carrots, etc. Man did it add a spiciness to the juice. The fall tomatoes have finally started to move now that highs have moved down the upper 80s and low 90s, with some cooler evenings. I have several in the 1 inch size. Other fall plantings are going in this week, such as Kale, Lettuce, etc.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-9762934158722920542011-08-03T12:40:00.000-05:002011-08-03T12:40:45.904-05:002011 Growing Season Continues to be a ChallengeI added a couple of Big Beef Tomatoes to the mix. Got some squash as well. I also have some volunteers popping up, which are either Yellow Neck Squash or possible Zucchini. It is a bit early to tell. The week situation also continues to be insane. Possibly I brought in the seeds in some of the bags of Oak Leaves and Grass clippings. I may have result to herbicides to get this back under control as environmental and manual measures are no good with this kind of mass infestation.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-56186065432875918252011-07-16T14:30:00.000-05:002011-07-16T14:30:56.519-05:00Tomato/Okra Update, Oh, and Some Peas, TooI have 8 fall tomatoes in the ground now, planted on the first row of the garden. From right to left are 4 Solar Fire, 2 Heat Wave II, and 2 Creole. The Solar Fire went in about a week ago, and have already double in size thanks to this nearly every day rains we are getting. The Okra are starting to establish as well. <br />
<br />
Today, I also fertilized each plant with Alfalfa pellets and Garden-tone. The plan was to drench with compost tea as well, but time rain out, so that will have to be done in a few days when time allows.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-9256756134305665512011-07-09T14:16:00.000-05:002011-07-09T14:16:53.149-05:00Okra and TomatoesI finally got the Okra seedlings in the ground, a month late.

Just under an inch both days, and the ground soaked it up like a sponge. I was about to toss in the towel on the veggie garden and just start preparing for fall, but with the rains, we might get a second wind and a few more weeks of harvest before fall preparations begin.<br />
<br />
On the ornamental side, the Phoenix palm seeds from Kumar in India has sprung forth with life. I have 4 little palms. We'll see if I can keep these alive. I have a pretty sad track record with palm seedlings, no doubt, due to the lack of a greenhouse.<br />
<br />
My two little survivor egg chickens returned home this week. A rooster and a hen, and they are two young beauties. I can't wait to see them grow up. The kids that hatched and raised them named the rooster Napoleon. So, of course I had to name hen Pauline, in honor of the real Napoleon's sister, and the exisitng Barred Rock hen, Josephine.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yellow Tomatoes - First time to grow the yellows. The Yellow Grape tomatoes (Blondkopfchen) were both prolific and delightfull. The Plum Lemon Tomato from Bill in Florida was the same. And the big surprise was the Yellow Peach Tomato, the Garden Peach from Gary Isben’s TomatoFest Gourmet Collection's name comes from the fact that the fruit is a little fuzzy, just like a Peach, and it has a very refreshing taste to go along with it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Everyglades Wild Tomato was also quite tasty and very prolific, preferring to travel the ground, rather than to gow upwards. This was a little problematic as I was always walking on them, but it hardiness made up for its awkwardness.</span>Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-11063790078039416292011-05-20T15:04:00.000-05:002011-05-21T15:15:50.479-05:00Spring TurbulanceHard to believe how long it has been since my last post. Nearly 2 months ago. If you read this and see other posts it will be because I backfilled with my memory.<br />
<br />
All in all it has been a really tough spring in the garden. Drought has been relentlous. For the exception of a day or two, my plants have not know real rain water, only irrigation. After this weekend, I will let most of the garden go, and the water bills are no longer I will keep the drip irrigation running only on the row of tomato plants. <br />
<br />
The Seven Rows<br />
<br />
On rows one and two, we harvested the corn, just under 200 ears in all. Would have been double that if we had rain. The tomato what were interplanted are alive, but just not making potatoes are there simply is not enough water.<br />
<br />
Row three was the melons and cucumbers. Save for a handfull of cucumbers this row was a complete failure.<br />
<br />
Row four was the tomatoes. An OK crops, thanks to the drip irrigation. It is still going<br />
<br />
Row five was the peas. Thankfully these guys don't need much water at all and the pea harvest, mostly Dixie Lee were quite respectable.<br />
<br />
Row six was the Bell Pepper and Eggplant. The harvest of Bell Pepper is OK and still going. The Eggplant does not look good at all.<br />
<br />
Row seven were the squashes, and we got a few, but again, all in all rated a failure.<br />
<br />
So, spring 2011 winds to a pretty bad close with drought ruling the days.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-50646175825473914632011-04-17T23:19:00.000-05:002011-04-17T23:19:03.992-05:00Thank You God, For Such a Wonderful Weekend.No rain, so no grass to mow. Cool temps, breezy, and sunny. Could not ask for better weather. The plants are thirsty, but irrigation will have to do.<br />
<br />
I planted the Moonflowers on Paw Joe's Grate Arbor on Sunday. Can't wait for the smell of their sweet blossoms in a month or two. And speaking of sweet blossums, the Jasmine has been blooming for over a week now. The scent fills the entire front yards and is as heavenly as any perfume. <br />
<br />
I got my seeds in from Kumar in India on Friday, and potted them today. I love plants with a story, and these to have a story. <br />
<br />
Kumar's description was "dates of the 'Maktoum' variety (From the holy city of Medina). These are quite large, brown rather than black, with a crusty peel and a dry interior that requires a bit of chewing - not one of those melt-in-your-mouth candy varieties. The taste is very agreeable though and it does not become sticky inside the mouth." <br />
<br />
According to Kumar, the second seeds were from the "stalk of our solitary Caryota urens begins ripening - and that means an unending litter of fruit all day everywhere and plenty of curses and grumbles as the inevitable cleanup is ordered - not to mention a freeze in our relations with the neighbours."<br />
<br />
Also, today, my new hens started laying. Well apparently she started laying yesterday, but I found the egg this morning, and another this afternoon. It is great to have the fresh yard egg train moving again. <br />
<br />
I also harvested the first Cucumbers or the vegetable garden today. Got some tomatoes starting to get on, a couple nearing 3 inches across. Probably more cucumbers and melons coming along, but the weeds are atrocious this year. <br />
<br />
The Mulberries are doing well in spite of the drought. Certainly they would be bigger and juicier had we gotten some rain, but I did some supplemental irrigation to help a bit. Our newest Mulberry on the east sid eof the driveway also fruited for the first time this year. And its berries do seem a bit sweeter than out large tree, which was a cutting from Mr. Picard.<br />
<br />
Most of the Citrus trees have flowered and are making fruit. Again, the drought has had an impact on fruit retention, and again, I have used some supplemental irrigation to help. It looks like we will have a respectable Citrus crop, and certainly more Limes than we can use.<br />
<br />
Same comments as above, but with the Avocado. Its flowered insanely this year. Although most flowers dropped without fruiting, there is still tons of fruit left on the tree. This year, for sure, it looks like we will have an Avocado crop.<br />
<br />
Too early to tell on the Olive Tree. It too has lots and lots of small fruit, and this tree should not be bothered at all by the lack of rain, as it comes from a Mediterannean climate. Its challenge will come later as the summer rains arrive. We'll see if this year, we might actually ripens some Olives.<br />
<br />
Lots more to talk about this spring, but not all in one post. Tomorrow will come another.<br />
<br />

I had to replace a couple of plants in the garden, and was amazed at how dry it was down in the soil. And I was replacing the plants because while the last storm brought little rains, but it did bring very damaging winds. Gusts were clocked over 50 mph, and over 80 mph in a nearby town. Some of the Tomato plant were busted up pretty good. I also seem to be fighting some kind of wilt here and there. Have replaced multiple tomatoes so far.<br />
<br />
I finally got around to pulling the stake on the L. decipiens palm on the west side of the drive. And finally move the little L. saribus that has struggled so bad as well. The new planting this year are manageable, but a little natural rain sure would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Other notes. The Jasmine on the pole is ready to flower, but waiting for moisture, as is the rose on the old Pig Trailer. They Yellow Lady Banks put on a nice show this year, but it was cut short by lack of moisture as well.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-9831717547232809902011-04-02T22:20:00.002-05:002011-04-02T22:20:34.763-05:00God Gave Me Another Blessed DayStarted out the day by weeding the garden. Hard on the back, but good immediate gratification work. I spread out another 20 or so bags of scavenged Oak Leaves, did some cleanup here and there, and got my last Oak planted out in the front. I nicknamed him "Big Nut" after his large acorns. Did a little watering, too, as things are getting dry again. We didn't get a whole lot of rain the other night. Hopefully we'll get a big rain storm soon. <br />
<br />
I put some Zinnia and Cosmos seeds in one of the propagators. I also took out quite a few bags of old seeds too, but spread haphazardly in a cutting bed area.<br />
<br />

My veggies must have been in shock, as it was the first real nature provided rain many of them have ever experienced. Cool temps followed, along with clouds. It will give them time to soak the rain, and the fertlizer I put out, really well. When the sun returns on Friday along with a bit of eat, I am expecting some explosive growth to follow.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-5868902306751906372011-03-29T20:23:00.004-05:002011-03-30T14:29:02.294-05:00Running Around Like a Fertilizer With My Head Cut OffRains are finally on the way. Got tied up earlier so was covering ground fast trying to spread fertilizer. Still using up the last of my old chemical ferts on the non-food items. In the food producing areas, it was a compost tea, organic Tone products, and some good old Alfalfa pellets.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-54500715272175522982011-03-28T21:23:00.005-05:002011-04-01T21:27:31.911-05:00Planting Odds and EndsToday, I planted the Althea cuttings that I made last year along the East Side (New) side of the driveway. I also planted the little volunteer Oak from the broken pot under the Oaks. Last to go in the ground was the old Antique Rose that originally came from the side of St. Joe's Tower. And ironically, I planted it back on the tower, in the center this time, after 2 years in a pot. And when I pulled it out of the pot I was amazed it have even survived with so little soil for the last two year. It is one amazingly tough rose for sure. I only one Oak left to plant, nicknamed Big Nuts, after its large acorns. I'll stick that in the ground this coming weekend for sure.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-77313052109684676342011-03-27T23:23:00.001-05:002011-03-28T00:26:27.578-05:00Leaves, Leaves and More Leaves.I gathered, loaded, unloaded and spread around 80 bags of Live Oak leaves over the weekend. Best year yet, and more to go before spring cleaning ends. Some of those were mega bags from the Gorilla yard men. This was down the road from the first, and with the same industrial strength bags, so no doubt is was the same gorillas. At any rate, the four mega beds are covered with 6 inches of leaves, and should do it for both weed control, and soil building.<br />
<br />
Back at the ranch, it was still cleanup, cleanup, and cleanup. We burned the last of the burn pile. That will be the last of burning of winter debris. Composting will be able to keep up with it from here.<br />
<br />
I replaced the northwest Azalea in the statue beds once again. This is my fourth attempt there. It is a tough spot for sure, but every year the Crepe Myrtles get larger. And it is definitely a water issues, which I took some technical steps to resolve as well, aka water absorbing crystals.<br />
<br />
Pa Joe’s Bougainvillea rises again like a Phoenix from the ashes. This is an amazing Bougainvillea. It has endured incredible cold, yet year after year it returns from the roots. I weeded it, but on a half inch of compost, and gave it a good watering. This should be its best year in quite a while. <br />
<br />
I moved the compost pot over to the head of the gardens, where it will be at its best. Best of all it is most convenient there. And excessive rains, if it leaches the nutrients will leach them right in the vegetable garden. The question becomes how to hide it from plain view. I thought of bananas, which would do great, but I need to be able to work my little Mantis tiller in there from several directions, so something shorter is needed. Then it hit me. I need to move those Cannas, the ones whose seeds I brought back from Miami, for the dog yard. Perfect height to surround the Compost Pot. Tall enough to hide it, but not too tall that I can’t throw the tiller up in there and work it. Yeehaa. <br />
<br />
Hmm, what else. Still haven’t found the courage to dump the rest of the seedlings in the compost bin. And a good thing as my brother in law came by and wanted some more. Sure wish I could give them all away. I have a plan, lol.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-1880230335972697072011-03-24T01:20:00.012-05:002011-03-25T01:41:46.508-05:00Maters, We's Gonna Have MatersToday, I tied up all of the tomatoes their stakes. As I was doing so, I noticed my first tomato flowers. It won't be long now, before I see those little round green fruit starting to form. Yeehaa. I went ahead and gave them their first fertilizer today as well, and watered it in. Actually I fertlized everything but the corn. I read somewhere not to fertilize corn too early. Got to go look that up and find out when is not too early, lol.<br />

Saw some catepillar damage down on the EggPlant seedlings. I may have to address that, but will continue to monitor for now as I also say some beneficial insects out there as well. BT might be a safe organic bet, if I have to resolve it through controls.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-25188746356977253322011-03-21T20:06:00.000-05:002011-03-21T20:06:06.106-05:00Gorillas in the YardWell, not my yard. I hauled a dozen bags of Oak Leaves home to mulch the outlying beds. And these were mega-bags. Their yard men must have been gorillas. And there are still six more at the road there, and another 8 or 10 normal sized a little bit down. Still got a ton of beds left to mulch, so I guess I'll get out early tomorrow and grab them, before trying to make a living.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-79533633144415968152011-03-19T23:39:00.001-05:002011-03-19T23:46:55.735-05:00Sweat and Hard Work TodayWe continue to make headway in the spring cleaning. More mowing, weedwhaching to start. Today, we also pruned the Crepe Mytles. No Crepe murder here, just removed the suckers. We also shaped up the Parkinsonia. I found more disturbing damage and fear this year may be its last, but then again, I have said that every year for the last 3 years. Who know, but its replacement was planted last year, so when it goes it goes.<br />
<br />
I gave a lot of seedlings away today, too, so that was awesome. I hated to see them go in the compost bin, but my garden is full, and so are my friend's gardens too, with a little help from me, lol. <br />
<br />
It's back out tomorrow. And we won't finish the job, but maybe just one more weekend after this, and we can cruise into summer with just upkeep.<br />
<br />
One last positive, too. A friend with an incubator took the last 3 of my hen's eggs. With a little luck we might get some progeny from my sadly missed hens.Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-10122587030130222632011-03-19T16:24:00.024-05:002011-03-22T16:38:46.452-05:00Surprise SurpriseGuineas woke us early morning. As I neared the pen, the sickening realization that my big Rooster was gone, set in. Despite my fortifications, the predator had made his way in yet again. I was beside myself. Since it was 5:30ish, I decided to just make a pot of coffee and stay up, rather than going back to bed. It wasn't long after, that the Guineas started making a rukkus again. As I snuck around the side of the house, I spotted what I thought, was a dog out in the fog. As I continued to sneak forward and squint, it turned, the head and tail came up to reveal a Fox. Our predator is a Fox. I was quite shocked, never expecting to see a Fox on our property. With dogs, cats, lights, etc. I would have throught it way too busy for the shy Fox to be around.<br />
<br />
So, I am out one Rooster and my two best Laying Hens. I added even more fortifications to the pen. And looking at trapping options for the Fox. Once I am sure the Fox issue is resolved, it will be time to go Hen shopping. I am thinking some Cochins would be really cool, but those steady laying Buff Orpingtons have me spoiled. Two of each?Keiththibodeaux@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18422128385692782314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198173046716607846.post-38042052278494269032011-03-19T00:08:00.000-05:002011-03-19T00:08:05.865-05:00Never Take Beauty for GrantedEach year we are blessed with the Azalea bloom. Last spring, after the big freeze it was pretty much a non-event, but maybe this year nature will make up for it. This is my first year to get a really pretty bloom from this one. I raised it from a baby. I am happy to show it to you.<br />
