If the persimmon tree is planted in full sun, I have had luck producing fruit without sunburn by pruning to produce adequate shade.
Home and Garden
If you were simply replacing an old deadbolt, this would be a five-minute job. Instead, you have the added pleasure of drilling two large holes.
We have a raised bed vegetable garden. For the last few years our tomatoes, zucchini and eggplants have produced little to no fruit.
Removing the old flowers (along with any unsightly flower stalks), or deadheading, is a common practice on repeat bloomers such as roses.
This problem can be fixed in one of two ways: Either remove the plunger assembly to clean or replace it or buy a universal tub-drain stopper.
I get worried when a product says it gives season-long control of borers but the fruit is safe to eat after 21 days.
We are quickly approaching temperatures (and wind) that require watering figs three times a week. The higher temperatures demand more water for production to continue.
Placing the new outlet between the same two studs as the existing outlet will simplify the project.
Peaches are a lot easier to protect than figs. Figs must be picked when they are ripe. Peaches will ripen off the tree.
Gardenias have similar needs as roses. Their health and growth respond best to wood chip mulch decomposing on the soil surface.
You have a hinge problem on your fire door, which is required to have a self-closing mechanism. Although these doors are important, they can also be a pain.
My guess is that this tree was infected by this bacterial disease. I would not replace it. I would pick a different tree.
Do you have any thoughts on watering times and durations for lawns, fig trees and palms? What time of day should I set my sprinklers?
Water spraying out at high pressure can leave a beautiful arc across the base of a house. But it’s probably not a look that most homeowners want to keep.
My Meyer lemon tree this year has hundreds of buds and flowers. Many on the same the branch or twig.
