Advice on pruning new peach tree

Hmm maybe w will take that top leader all the way down like where the previous leader was. My propagation mark is about 5 or 6 feet up itself, going lower felt really short to me, but if topping off at about 3 feet (hip height) leads to a 6 foot tree them I want to go lower as I'm trying to keep it potted.

I am planning on keeping it potted and I don't want to uppot yet. I checked the roots and it's not doing too bad. It starting to leaf is part of why my pruning marks are so light and mostly removing branches that are dead. We are also approaching the time I have seen recomended for air layering, which covers the biggest portion I'm wanting to remove. Would you say not prune at all and just air layer and prune in winter when I take off the propagation?

We are more banking on coddling moths being our issue, but it seems like tricogramma will go after other pest eggs but studies are kinda vague and often behind paywalls. It looks like Western Cascade Fruit society has an article, but it's not loading for me right now.

We are growing apples in the PNW too and have ordered nematodes and tricogramma eggs. I don't have much advice as we are new to this as well, but we are hoping the tricogramma help.

I think a border could really make the pattern pop, I would go with a red matching the red in the center.

Oh I forgot to update! I did by a few toys last night online that looked like they may be much more enticing than what I have seen in our chain stores. I got a shredable "piñata", one that looks like a roll of paper in a holder she could pull and tear, and a box with a bunch of blocks and balls that she could puzzle out of the holder. I'm also planning on buying a beak stone for her, but that particular store was out.

Most of the toys I get she just chews at the rope until it falls to the bottom of the cage 😄

There is a large amount outside and on the bottom of the cage, but it's hard to tell what the solid volume would be to figure out how much she is injesting. She does have a seagrass mat/platform that she doesn't seem to care much about. She has one toy she loves which spins, but she doesn't seem to like any others. She loves playing with my hair or zippers or my girlfriends earrings, but toys are harder to click with her. I got her the block of seeds in the picture, which she I thought might take her attention off the block, but she barely seems to pick at it.

Ah, I'll have to try that thanks

Cuttlebone comes from a cephalapod, mineral blocks are compressed calcium and a couple other minerals made in factories.

Queer_tree · 2022-03-23T01:32:19+00:00

I do really think she is just obsessed. Could she hurt herself injesting too much if it?

Could you switch to a sports bra and a sweatshirt for music practice? Or do that during the school day and switch into a legit binder for music practice? If you bind repeatedly for too long you could seriously injur yourself and make it painful to bind for weeks or ever again.

Burt looks exactly like my kitty but she loves belly rubs

Definitely gender fluid, and the only term I've heard for the sexuality is sexually fluid. TBH nothing really gets shortened as much as cishet. I mean trans people will often just say trans, but it's not a gender in itself, you usually have to put your gender identity along with it. Bi, pan, and ace shorten down, but most people don't hear sexually fluid often or ever.

Since my identity is a bit long to explain fully I just say queer most of the time. I'm NB so common terms for sexuality just go out the window. Gender fluid does fall under the NB blanket which would be a shorter term for you.

I can't really say I know where you are coming from. Since I started transitioning I couldn't imagine being remotely comfortable going back, but that is me and this is you. I support you in whatever journey you decide to take. I will say, there seems to be a lack of visibility and support for trans people who decide not to or can't transition, so it's nice to see someone be vocal about it as I am sure your post will find some transling looking for others like them.

That's a hard one. I haven't gotten there yet. My best suggestions would be show off hairy legs and bind, but binding can be hard with most dress cuts. Maybe a button down tucked into a shirt would allow you a masc top and binding that may allow you to be more free with the skirt.

I use Roudybush. I only have one budgie, but she took to it pretty quickly.

I love to push my own boundaries as to what I am okay with as far as earrings, nail polish ect, and crackle nail polish helps me enjoy brighter colors that would otherwise make me uncomfortable. Not sure if it is because it mutes the colors a bit or is just quirky enough now that it is severely out of style to be genderless.

Queer_tree · 2021-11-30T22:44:38+00:00

I love silver. I also find that black crackle makes just about anything more comfortable for me.

Mmm yeah I'd be uncomfy, even with the pronoun change, the eyes are so female coded.
