I didn’t see bees on the label. I just sprayed the seating areas in the yard, so I hope it is.

Bifenthrin is very toxic to bees and wasps. Make sure when spraying to keep it away from any plants that are being pollinated by bees and be aware of drift.

October Limes and a few Meyer Lemons.




Morning Glory tree I grew from a seed at the start of this year. Training to grow into a tree. These suckers grow fast!!!

Bump this shit!


Added a loquat tree in a grow bag and a banana tree in the ground in my small side yard. Blueberry bush is thriving. Lime, lemon and orange tree always fine. Grape tree adding grape buds currently. Added a barbados cherry tree which loves heat this year near pool. Rose season is over but I had some nice ones.

How do you keep the roses alive through the summer?

Time is my issue here.

I till gardens as one of my side hustles. I've fought tractor problems for a couple,of years and it's getting old. The past two weeks I have gone to do 6 jobs(3 tonight) where someone who has called me recently, had someone else show up and till for Them. It's their choice but if you call me Saturday and I road a tractor 5 miles to till for you and only find out when I get there that it's done.....it's infuriating. If you have someone else do your work....give me a ducking courtsy call. Pretty basic mad code.

Also....my circle are having an "outlaw giant pumpkin" contest. No rules, just make the biggest pumpkin. I'm open to super duper cheat codes. Help me beat my brothers and asshole friends.

You should go back in about 3 months and till those same garden.

I don't know that it's a cheat but only allow 3 blossoms to set fruit and then cull that down to the largest one so all the energy in the vines go to that single punkin. Good luck.

Also Dill's Atlantic are the seeds you want to plant.

N, P, K water sunlight. Fertilize frequently so it never has to suffer.

What are your tractor problems?
[Reply]

The biggest problem is I bought a piece of shit that had supposedly been restored but sat a long time. Something new all the time. The good news is my dad knows a lot about old shitty tractors and it makes him feel good when I call him to come help me figure out what to do. Maybe it's the best tractor ever.

Genetics probably being the most important thing here but I would add beneficial bacteria and fungi as well. Maybe even bring in springtails if he doesn't already have them. Start by making the soil the best you can so uptake of nutrients can be effective as possible. Beneficials might even help to not get so hot on the nutrients.

Here are a couple of links that expound on what has been said regarding giant pumpkins.
