Budapesttiger 2 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Blasphemy, I know.... But I work in tourism and so hate to see the end of august because that's the end of my best income season. If the season was good, bring on opening day. Living in Central Europe I'm pretty much on nip watch all day every day. And I'm rarely disappointed. Bring on opening day.

tigerwings 75 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I was mowing over fallen leaves from my cherry tree yesterday.....fall is getting close! fyi thats most likely a fungus issue called fire blight....willing to bet the leaves looked as if insects chewed them and have black spots all over. arrgh! I appreciate your zeal to inform, but leaf drop this time of year is primarily environmental stress associated as the day length is still long and our northern friends have not had a frost - the other key for senescence. Too bad for your cherry trees if they do have southern blight, it is time to replant something else that will not be susceptible to the bacteria. I just removed 4 myself for similar reasons. Sorry guys Back the topic. We need to save this photo for Bert in the look-a-like thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbomb 193 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Warning signs of the forthcoming Nip are happening here in rural south Georgia. Hunters are being sighted headed toward the woods big boy toys attached to their trailers. Trailers also loaded with feeders, deer stands and corn. Many of these vehicles have Florida plates. Its not too long now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
