Dale's garden update --
click for Dale's Garden Page
-- Sun flowers are very tall and blooming. So is
the Rose of Sharon which is weeks earlier than usual. I ate the last peach this
past weekend. The apples are great on the Wealthy and the HoneyCrisp. We are getting just enough rain to keep the weeds healthy. The Japanese Beetles
have slowed down. I only collect dozens
in a pail of detergent water each day.
The compost has
remained fairly hot. Temperatures are now about 120° .
Here is the list of left over trees and plants I have
banked in my back yard with the prices. I really need homes for
some of the Brown Ash which are very large. Make an offer if you have a home for
them.
