ok so I figured I'd create an official gardening thread for pictures, growing strategies, techniques, tips, tricks.. whatever.
I'll kick it off with a few pictures and an update on earlier posts in different threads.
Purple-hulls have developed a rather severe pest problem. they're still fine but the bugs need to be dealt with in a major way so last night I picked up some neem oil. from what I've been told, and what I've read online, neem oil seems to be one of the most effective organic pesticide/fungicide so that's what I went with.
the brand I used is called "GardenSafe Neem Oil Extract"... the reviews I found online were mixed. some people say it's crap, and others swear by it. I sprayed them down for the first time last night. here's their status as of 3:30 PM 4/21/2012
and here's some of the other things I have growing that I haven't posted much about
figs
blueberries
oranges
I have plenty more stuff growing in the yard but I'll save that for a later post.
