I put 5-6 screws on a broken tree towards the sides. center (heart?) is untouched. then I dug some soil around and buried a part of the trunk. watered it well and put some mud on the wound that is above ground. :fl
yesterday wind broke my young fig tree low around the base :hit there are 10+ figs on the tree. I tied it till I find out how to fix it. maybe it is not worth it by I'll try anyway. I am thinking to screw it. that is the only "strong" solution.
you must be teasing me. I still cannot plant wisteria as I have to finish my house first then decorate the garden. in my situation I need to put irrigation lines first if I want to have anything green. I simply cannot run with buckets (1 and 1/2 acre) in summer heat.
at my old place I had bought 2 trumpet vines, 1 with small flowers and another one with the big ones. I always struggled in summer to water it enough to survive. it was good by the fence for privacy.
I feel your pain. last year my dogs destroyed a lot of my tomatoes to get unhatched eggs I buried under them. this year I will bury only whole eggs as they don't stink and dogs don't smell them.
I planted oaxaca corn (about 40) in a sunken bed and "naked green seed" squash/pumpkin around. I could not find the name in english. so 2 sisters are in.
also transplanted a red current. unfortunately black current died.
I wish I could do more gardening but chicks have hatched, now 1 turkey...
as I live in a windy area I always plant 2 peppers next to each other then leave some space before planting the other 2. that way they support each other on a windy day.
I know nothing about goats. that didn't stop me getting 4 of them, lol. (wanted 2, had a chance to get 3 for price of 2, the last one was a swap for a pair of chocolate muscovy ducks).
they don't fruit in winter. I had tomatoes for 2 years and peppers for 3. they don't have many fruits if kept so long, so not really worth it. also tomatoes don't taste good in cool weather.
