lol...my son is getting married Sept. 23rd - the autumn equinox. He lives in western PA and my daughter and I will be flying back the 18th. I did the invitations, will be making the favors (white chocolate bark with apricots and walnuts), and will be *gasp* making the cake. I have done several practice runs trying to get the decorating down. I have never done this before and it is hard! It is 3 tiers and a lot of frosting! White almond cake with a chocolate almond buttercream filling.....sorry, this is a weed thread!
Updates! I think I finally have a handle on the worms on the PK. The buds are getting fat and somewhat crystalized. would be way better if I hadn't picked through for the worms. Lowe's approved me for a credit card today (I know, go figure!) so I got the moth zapper with the black light! Little effers!
The CC is making my mouth water. fat and crystaly. And super sticky. Couldn't help myself, I had to touch it! The GR is breaking my heart. I thought I had mites, so I got the SNS-17 and I don't think I have mites anymore. But the white flies are killing it. I just can't get on top of them. I am going to get the Sierra Natural Science product for the white flies. The girl is dying from the bottom up. The lower leaves are all brown and crisp and they are yellowing all the way up. Ladybugs maybe before I spray anything else?
And a question on the PK. She started flowering the week of July 15th. Everything I've read says she flowers in 50 to 60 days. I am at 55. But she just doesn't look done. I am worried she will finish while I am gone.
The singled out pic at the top is one of the PK babies in the terra cotta planter. It has 3 PK and 3 CC.
