I'm interested in how the w adding cake does outside....

I grew a Wedding Cake cross last season: it did fairly well up until mid- October when it started getting ate-up with mold.

Yesterday I sprayed the perimeter with Home Defense, not the pots but perimeter of garden . Stuff works great, sorry haters.

I’m with ya brother, I love the stuff. I also treat my yard with Ortho/Spectracide granules(but not near garden beds).

I have contracted Lyme twice in the 9 years that’s I’ve lived up here, and now I also have little kids; not taking that chance. I also burn my leaf-litter every winter, which helps to break the tick life-cycle by killing the nymphs.

I DO draw the line at Glyphosate, because that shyte is linked to Parkinsonism, and takes hundreds of years to break down in the soil.

Ok little off topic, but I have bittersweet absolutely overrunning my yard. Its done a number on my chimney, here's some pics. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I think if I buy the new cinderblocks I could repair it completely myself. I imagine there's an inner pipe, and I'm hoping I can get maybe cinderblock halves that fit together around the pipe. Suggestions welcome.IMG_1634.jpgIMG_1635.jpg

I've also contracted Lyme, big ol bullseye rash, luckily got antibiotics swiftly, but still...
They have the Home Defense Max, but I use the regular, wondering if you noticed, or have used, or know the difference between the two?

Ouch on the chimney bud. There should be terracotta flue pipes inside. With an angle grinder you can grindout the joints on block from then its just mixing up some mortar and resetting new block. You may not even need to replace the flues.
Bet ya a doughnut thats full of bats

Well, sixish weeks in and things finally kicking into gear. Definitely able to tell what's going to do well. Also able to see daily growth. Pretty excited, as I hope this is one of my best years. It's kind of amazing to know that, after years of doing the same ol' same old, with what I thought were decent results, having culminated to the level im at now, it's fantastic.
I don't have to be the biggest, I don't have to be the best, it makes me happy just knowing that I'm growing, in more ways than one. I've learned a lot here, and it never seems to stop.
