Gonna move out to the country, eat a lot of peaches. . .

On Monday I checked on the 3 Peach in the JP patch. The single plant had pulled it's tether up. I leaned it back over.

I pulled the other 2 Peach down a little lower. They got food, water, Neem and the stinky stuff.

The plan was to take the 2 GdR and 1 Hurricane Head from the STL to the JP patch Sunday afternoon or Monday morning. There was too much activity yesterday, so I dug some holes in another location instead. Then last night I stayed up too late, and slept too late this morning. When I got in the area with my buckets and backpack with plants and soil, two planes were flying back and forth. I left the plants and got out of there. Will try to get back in the morning to get them in the ground.

The good news is the rain catcher was filling up nicely.

I finally got back to the JP patch to get the 2 GdR and 1 Hurricane Head into the ground. I was trying to get away in the AM while it was still raining, but things always seem to take longer than you think. The sun was shining by the time I got there. Luckily a jet was playing, so the smaller planes had to clear out.

Notice how small the grasshopper eaten GdR is. They were the same size a couple of weeks ago. Still going to let it do what it will. {note to self: These two are 10-15 yards to the south of the single Peach}



The grasshopper topped Hurricane Head. {closer to the treeline}

Double Peach in JP patch.



There was some distress to the tops on the plant to the right. Saw some little spiders. I assumed they were eating whatever it was causing the damage.

The Peach in the STL. Will need to lean it over again next time I check on it.

Everything got food, water, Neem and stinky stuff. It rained again after I was there, so the transplants should do alright.

This is the spot I dropped off the plants earlier in the week. It's a kind of hollow, with lots of rotten logs. I think I will put a couple of holes there. {the Hurricane Head I transplanted today in the picture}

The plan was to go over to the JP patch and dig some holes. But my back was hurting and I had left all my shovels at other patches. Well I did have my folding shovel, but I wasn't up to using it. I went to the HG patch instead, and transplanted some RSB Squared.

I did run by the Peach in STL with food and water. I staked the top down again. I'm getting good growth on the lower limbs with this LOB work.

More Skydog.

I was at the Peach in the STL before 0600 this morning. The top has already straighten up. I added brown sugar to the food mix for the first time.

The Hurricane Head in the JP patch seems to have settled into it's new home well.

Remember the distress on one of the double Peach? I figured out what it was. Termites. I had cinnamon, but forgot to put any out. I doubt I will replant this hole. Do any of you know about ways to kill termites where it doesn't harm the dirt?

The Peach in the STL had to be LOB'ed again. Will start on the side limbs next time.

Hurricane Head in JP patch. It got bug topped when it was still in the marsh grass, and today was the first time I had gave it a real good look. There is 3 tops coming out. The two main ones, and a little skinny one. I LOB'ed the main ones. Had to clear some of the little bushes away so it would have room.

The two GdR's in the JP patch. I leaned the bigger one over.

Peach in JP patch. I pulled the main top over a little, but also staked down 3 or 4 of the side branches. {picture is from directly above plant} This one is getting a little too big for the location.
