In Phx, it's rare that we ever hit freezing, but nonetheless we usually do have just a couple/few nights of it during the winter. And I RELISH every delicious moment of it being "cold" here :D - I just love it when it's like that bc I can break out all my cool weather clothes that I crave wearing! |
You should spraying neem oil or some essential oils may be that can help. |
1 Attachment(s) All the me I've been on Yorkie Talk & I've only just discovered this thread! I'm finding it fascinating as most of you garden in such very different conditions to me. I have what you'd class as an English cottage garden which I've developed over the years from what was really just a field, overgrown with nettles, brambles etc, had help in the early days from my goats & geese. It's quite big, about an acre. |

Looks really lovely, you put a lot of hard work into it, but it paid off beautifully. |
Thank you. |
1 Attachment(s) What is this and can I eat it? Attachment 413504 |
It looks like lesser celandine & if so, no you can’t eat it. It’s related to buttercups. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=187 |
It always fascinates me how you refer to your outside space as a yard. We really are two nations divided by a common language. To us a yard is a small concrete or flagstoned enclosure, usually surrounded by a brick wall, at the back of a terraced house in a town or else attached to a farm ( farmyard) or a stables but always a cobbled, flagged or some other hard standing area. Never so much as grass let alone flowers, shrubs or trees. To us flowers, shrubs, trees, lawns surrounding a house or any other building make up a garden whether tiny or big. Do you call anything a garden or are they always yards? |
Yes we have gardens lol, I have two garden beds at the end of my driveway, one long oval one in the middle of my front lawn, and about 30 foot long 1/2 moon shape at the front of my house. In my back yard that is a grassy area I have raised garden beds along the perimeter of my back property. Talk about common language lol, I had a Canadian friend, in some USA states a woman's purse, handbag or pocketbook is called one of the three. I was born and raised in NY where we call them pocketbooks, a purse is what is used for formal affairs. So my Canadian friend emailed me that she bought her mother 86 pocketbooks, I replied OMG what is she going to do with them all, my friend said read them of course lol, lol .I still laugh every time I think of that lol. |
That is so funny. I don’t suppose you’ve heard of Mike Harding. He’s one of our Lancashire comedians (Northern England). He made a recording about the language differences which is very funny. It’s off one of his CDs but you can download it on Amazon, it’s called A Limey in New York. https://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Limey-In-...8924886&sr=8-1 |
No I never heard of Mike Harding but did just now. I listened to A Limey In New York, that was too funny because, those terms are used in NY lol. |
