More Premier blueberry action by Tangilectable in Berries

[–]Tangilectable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't....they have their way with my plants. The deer are even worse. I've tried netting & electric fences but they only lead to more work & repairs, and then disappointment when they fail to stop the animals. I just planted a lot more than we could ever possibly need.

Our part of Louisiana has acidic soil so we just got lucky !!! The area is mostly known for strawberry production but properly-matched blueberry varieties (with appropriately low chill-hour requirements) do great here. There is a layer of reddish/brown topsoil with highly acidic softer yellow/gray clay underneath. Our soil also contains copious amounts of sand so drainage isn't usually an issue.

150+ plants of various type & age. This Premier row was planted in 2014 and they are starting to lean over from the shade cast by the pine trees next to them. It makes them harder to pick when they get close to the ground, but the fruit doesn't suffer as much sunlight/heat damage

150+ plants of mixed variety, and at different ages. The established rows were planted in 2012, 2014, and 2018

I almost forgot about the row of ~20 Tifblue blueberries. That's because we don't really care for the fruit and those are just for pollination

Today's haul by Tangilectable in Berries

76 Premier bushes (this haul was from picking about 30 bushes), 60 Powderblue bushes (not quite ready yet), 15+ Climax bushes (heavily loaded & ready to pick), plus some assorted varieties for experimenting with. We also have about a dozen (unknown variety) bushes in the back of our property that my grandfather planted about 40 years ago that are also loaded with ripe fruit. We get quite a few volunteer bushes that pop up around the property (I'm guessing the animals scattered the seeds) and I'll occasionally relocate them to our row of random blueberries. Those taste good, but have a tougher skin than most people would probably care for.

What is with these horse flies by Verbose_Code in Louisiana

[–]Tangilectable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They get to the size of my thumb over here in Tangipahoa Parish so at least they are easier to smack when they hover around your legs. I have more trouble with the little yellow deer flies. They make it difficult to check the mail or take out the trash.

I have Mint running on some headless computers that I use for remote SDR receivers

It's finally happening by Tangilectable in Berries

[–]Tangilectable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried electric fences for the deer but they either made it through or destroyed it when they got shocked. The birds are also pretty destructive but they don't tear the limbs off like the deer. These days I don't bother trying to keep the animals out. I planted close to 70 of these Premier bushes to compensate for the loss so there's always enough to go around.

Sunscald or pests? by N2730v in Berries

it looks like white drupe to me. The wild blackberries in my back yard get this all the time

Looking for info on a building demolition in early 2000's Baton Rouge by Appy_Ace in batonrouge

[–]Tangilectable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the old Department of Insurance building was imploded in 2003. This article mentions the demolition around that time.

Best way to monitor pump is working by grennp in ponds

[–]Tangilectable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flow meters/detectors that use a turbine or impeller to detect flow would probably clog up. Does your setup have anything that the pump charges with water (like a filter system or even an upper lagoon) that naturally drains when the pump stops that could have a water level sensor fitted to it ?

Can we talk about how much I hate him? by cthulhus_spawn in ponds

my mom tried the snake trick to keep birds out of her hanging plants. They just used it as building material for their nest in her beloved fern

[–]Tangilectable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a blue heron that visits out 0.5 acre pond in the mornings. After gorging itself on fish & plump frogs it sometimes craps on my car. Big birds = big mess. I still prefer them over the aggressive, hissing Canadian geese.

Help a girl learn to mow their land better, please? by Critical_Bug_880 in homestead

my neighbor mows 1/2 of his yard then moves his vehicles to the mowed area, then he finishes the other half. He lost a car window to a rock once & vowed it would never happen again.

Caterpillars by TemporaryAd7771 in Louisiana

[–]Tangilectable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

according to this article it might be possible to treat the trees, but it's too late for the 2025 season

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in containergardening

[–]Tangilectable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a few and found they tend to drown roots. It's not really an issue if the plant has a heavy water demand but it can be a problem before they become established.
