Hey Bob) I love the color of those mango leaves, my goodness. Your trees I think want to be as big as the ones in the wods. Ha They blen right in with all that greenery.

Good point you make. Before we know it the fall will be here and catch us all of guard unless we stay on top of it so thanks for the reminder. Seems like yesterday that you said this before. I can't believe another summer has gone by my friend.

You are right. Brian's trees are just moving along. I swear it's all those parties he has at night and the alchohol all the friends dump on his trees. Or it could be the happiness they feel when surrounded by such a nice pool and lots of love.

What ever the case, Steve is probably outside tending to his roof top trees and Laura, all those kids, animals and trees, I'm thinking her hands are full for sure. She sent me some Milk Weed last year for butterflies and they are finally growing now that a few nights have finally stayed above 60. It's been a tough year on all my trees and plants.

Yet, before I know it, I will have to cut all mine back, treat for pests as I go along, and think of places I will be sticking them this coming winter.

You know what's strange? My brain is so bad , that very year, I can't remember the set up from the year previous, or where or how I kept what wwarm. lol

As always, thanks for starting a great thread.

I’m finally getting blooms on my Kaffir Lime )

You got it nailed on your list of good people, missing a few others)

Mike, i wish i could be like you, i am basically not a friendly guy, not very nice to people, just ask some of members here, Brian for one. He does't have the time to read this, he's gone surfing. I'll just stay on point and don't give them a reason to ......

Sorry I’ve been MIA. We were out of our house late May because we rent it for a week, then my son graduated from high school, and after a whirlwind of events decided to dump University of Maryland and instead go to school in NYC because he’s interning at a music studio there and working with some big people in the music industry. Then we went on vacation. Finally I’m back and settled into the summer routine. I detected scale on a few trees ( one branch). I cut off the affected branch, but now I need to go scrub the rest down. The ones with scale have ants, so as JohnM has said, I will try to control the ants to help get rid of the scale. It is soooo hot here. How are things in AK and MA guys?

In MA, we have had a cold, very wet spring. I lost a few trees to root rot because of the weather. I have not watered them since I put them out weeks ago. My vegetables are about 2 weeks behind.
