Berkeley`e kus ziyareti

Bu sabah Berkeleyde Chloe ve John un Conure larini gormeye gittik.Saat 10 da bulusmak uzere sozlesmistik ve bir iki defa kaybolduktan sonra 10 da eve vardik.Conures gercekten cok tatli. Bence en guzel papagan cinsi.

Sunconure Linus Charleyi mest etti

Linus buyuk bir calimla kafeste gerileyip gerileyip bize dogru ataklar yapiyordu. John dan baska kimseye kendini elletmemek gibi bir huyu oldugundan bir turlu adopt edinilmemis.

Beni cezbeden ise LoiLou oldu. Garibim yoluk tavuk gibi, Chloenin omuzunda oldugu surece mutlu ama orda degilse tuylerini yoluyormus.

Ardindan Pireya nin evine Walnuta yollandik. Ordada Willow ile tanistik. Willow ringneck. Cok gosterisli bir kus ve bize bir dolu numara yapti.

gayet guzelde konusuyormus ama ancak biz odadan cikinca konustu.

Donuste Petkoda durup bir Russian kaplumbaga aldik.Ne zamandir konusuyorduk artik bir kaplumbagamizda var. Hala ona bir isim bulamadik ama kutusuna yerlesti.

Where is our spring?

Bu sene havalar gercekten bir acayip. Hava bir turlu adam gibi isinmadi.
Gecen hafta diktigim hemen herseyi kaybettim.Ama iatla bu hafta gene cantalupe, spagetti pumkin ve tabii cucumber diktim.

Salataliklar 12 tane bir kismi tamami olen pealerin yerine bir saksida kendiliginden buyumus benim malum domateslerin fideleri ile birlikte green houseun yanina diktim.Cantalupelar misirlarin arasina gitti. GH yanina gecen hafta diktigim tohumlardan(salatalik ve fasulye hala haber yok.
Ama hafta sonu koca bir tabak pea topladim. Tabii salatalar hala greenhousedan geliyor.Bu arada Michigan Bulb buyuk bir jest yapip cone flower ve hydrengialari yeniden yolluyor.
Greenhouse kesin bir elden gecip gubrelenmek istiyor. Pealeri sokup domates ve biberlere yer acmak lazim.Hafta sonu cumartesi deck ve patio temizlendi. Pazar gunude nerdeyse kalp krizi gecirdigi icin biraz daha agirdan aldik.Hava fena degildi ama pazartesi gene su koydu.Yagmur yok ama kasvetli ve soguk.Charley HR dan haber bekliyor. Hafta sonu kuslari gormeye gidecegiz ama dogrusu ya simdilerde herhangi birsey almak istedigimden emin degilim.

TGIF

Bu hafta pazartesi ve sali izin aldigim icin kisa bir hafta oldu.Cuma daha hizli geldi. Ama dun aksam cocuklarla bowlinge gittigimiz icin bu aksam tursu gibiydik.Yaslanmak bu olsa gerek:)8 de yataga girip film seyrettik 10 da kalkip ev de bir tur atip browny yedik.Ve yataga geri donduk..Dogrusu ya bunu yazdiktan sonra uyumaya hazirim.
Aksam ustu sebzelerimi ziyaret ettim.Baklalar ufaktan gorunmeye baslamis.
Bezelyelerden bir avuc toplamistim,yarin biraz daha cikarsa bir yemeklik olur.Kotu haber salataliklarin hepsi oldu.Cantalupeda kayboldu ortadan. Okra ve melonlar daha dayaniyor gibi.Zuccini ve biberler ise keyifli bile..
Domatesler de kayboldular. Dun ve bugun oyle soguktu ki herseyin olmedigine sasmamali. Gecen haftaki 80 lerden sonra tam bir rezalet bu hafta. Onumuzdeki persembeye kadar hava serin kalacakmis. Yarin rodeoya gitmeyi planliyorduk ama belki evde kalmak daha akillica olacak. Pazar gunu ise sabah Robinle kahvalti ve oglende papagan grubunu evde agirlamak var.

Chicken Poop

Bu sabah Timothylere gidip kumeslerindeki samanlari topladik.Compost icin harika material.Bu arada papaganlarini da gorduk. Iki African gray ve bir senegal. Senegal yada Conare ile gitmeye karar verdik.Africanlar bile ilk kus icin buyuk.
Eve gelirken Walmarta ugradik Sammynin benchi icin foam bakmaya. Foam yoktu ama iki lavanta ve bir paket daha zuccini aldim.Ardindan Home depotda yeni bir Nar agaci buldum.Bir doluda sebze aldim.Yarin raised bed ler tamamlanacak.

Three sisters

Three sisters kizilderililerin uyguladigi bir ekim teknigi imis. Misir, fasulye ve kabak birlikte dikildikleri zaman etkili bir gelisim geciriyorlarmis. Misir fasulyeye destek verip sirik vazifesi goruyor ve bal kabaginin yapraklari da topragi golgeleyip islak tutuyormus. Tabii hemen yontemi uyguladim. Sanirim benim misirlar biraz fazla yakin oldu birbirine gorecegiz nasil buyuyecekler. Misirlar ve fasulyelerin bir kismi Summerwindden alindi.
Home Depot dan pahali ama cok daha saglikli fideleri. Bu arada sans eseri kerevizleri buldum Summerwindde ve 12 tane aldim. 8 tanesi saksilara 2 taneside veggi gardenda muslugun altina yerlesti.
Ertesi gun Home Depotdan iki Blueberry daha aldim. Aldigim chinese cabbagelar dikilir dikilmez yenip bitirildi.O bolgeyi ilaclamam lazim.
Bir sekilde bu hafta sonu veggi gardeni adam etmem lazim. Otlar toplanacak.Agaclarin altlari havalandirilip gubrelenip mulclanacak vede tabii domatesler icin yeni dikim alanlari yaratilacak:) Evet domatesler orda burda gorunmeye basladilar.:) Siki bir temizlik ve hazirlik gerek.
Bu arada Charley yatak odasi kapisi icin deligi acmaya basladi bile.Umarim hafta sonuna kadar biterde bu hafta sonu birde onla ugrasmaya baslamayiz.

Still raining

Bugun mackaboo papagan grubunun egitimine gittik.Foster papagan fikri hala gelisiyor:)
Eve dondugumuzde yagmur durur gibi olmustu hemen yeni aldigim roma domatesi kapip greenhousea diktim.
Hydrengianin saksisini degistirip begonyayida daha genis bir saksiya aldim. Greenhousedaki ispanaklar cosmus durumdaydi onlardan biraz topladim aksam yemeginde salata icin ardindanda nerden geldi ise green houseda buyuyen hala karnibaharmi yoksa brocollimi oldugunu cikaramadigim 7-8 fideyi disariya tasiyip diktim.Dun Home Depotda buldugum Goji Berrye bir yer bulmam lazim.. Artik bahar gelsin..Yagmurdan fenalik basti..

Rain and cold back

Yagmur geri geldi ve bu sabah hava gene soguktu. Aksam ustu bitkileri kontrol ettigimde Gojiberrylerin hemen hemen tamamen gittigini gordum. Green housedaki seedlingdede bir dolu sinek var

Spring Cleaning

Garden Season Almost Here

Hernekadar hava durumunda bir haftadir kar beklendigi soylenip dursada dun ve bugun hava gunluk guneslikti. Hatta bahcede yeni bir raised bed kurup tere ekecek kadar da iyiydi.
Bugun ayrica Cherokee Tomato, Globe Basil, Regular Basil ve Celery tohumlari ektim.

Tomato Pole Cherokee Purple Organic Heirloom Seed(Botanical Interests)

 

When to start inside: 6-9 weeks before the average last spring frost.

Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: when transplanting seedlings outside, bury the roots and stem up to the first set of leaves horizontally. Curve the stem above the ground to a vertical position. The stem will sprout roots and develop a strong root system.

Harvesting: Harvest tomatoes when firm and fully colored. Lots of green tomatoes near the end of the season? Cut roots with a shovel on two sides: stress will hasten the maturity of existing tomatoes. Also, 1 month before frost, clip all blossoms off plant. If light frost is predicted, hang plants upside down in a dark basement or place green tomatoes between sheets of newspaper and check daily.

Basil Greek Spicy Globe Greek Seed(Botanical Interests)
 6-8 weeks before transplanting outside.

Special Germination Instructions: Easy to grow from seed. Must have warm soil temperatures. Wait to plant until nighttime temperatures are above 50 degrees.

Sucessive Plantings Recommended. Every 3 or 4 weeks after initial planting.

Harvesting Basil leaves should be harvested before the plant flowers. The young, top leaves taste the best and should be used fresh. The older leaves may be used for vinegar and pesto. To harvest most of the plant, cut the main stem, leaving at least 3 pairs of leaves near the ground--plant will regrow and produce additional leaves. (You can prolong the harvest period by pinching off flower buds to maintain flavor.) If there is any chance of temperatures dropping to 32 degrees, harvest crop immediately. The best time to harvest any herb is in the morning, after the dew dries, but before it gets too warm. Alternatively, you could harvest in the early evening.

CELERY, TALL UTAH (Ferry-Morse)

Start indoors 10 weeks before outdoor planting date. Broadcast evenly over well-watered soil and cover lightly. When 2 inches tall, thin to 2 inches apart. Transplant outdoors when the plants are 4 inches tall. Place in well-cultivated soil and keep watered.
Days to Germination: 14 - 20 Days
Days to Harvest: 125 - 125 Days
Planting Depth: 0.125 - 0.125 Inches
Plant Spacing: 8 - 8 Inches
Spacing Rows: 36 - 36 Inches

Elephant Ear

Ayrica dun gelen Elephant Ear soganlari Arka bahcede soldaki fence onune dikildi.

Generally Colocasia are grown outside in semi-tropical and tropical areas (In zones 8 and 9 they survive year round in the ground). They can be grown in northern areas but must be dug up for the winter months. In southern states they grow best in partial shade, but in northern states the can tolerate full sun and thrive in humid weather. Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist or wet, slightly acidic soil. They need plenty of water. We find it difficult to over-water these plants as they can learn to grow directly in ponds in your yard. If you choose to grow them in pots, then self watering pots with a reservoir will reduce your watering chores. The pots should allow room for tubers to produce next year’s corms. Also, if you are putting in pots outside then they should be heavy enough to reduce any incidence of blowing over in high winds.

Colocasias are heavy feeders. Grown best in fertile, humus-rich, moist or wet, slightly acidic soil. Regular fertilizing every month is good during the growing season. A balanced, 20-20-20 fertilizer is fine. If your elephant ears do not produce quick lush growth, they need either more heat, more water or more nitrogen
•Elephant Ears need moderate water. Water the plant one every two to three days.
•Adult Elephant Ear plants will grow the fastest if you re-plant the Elephant Ear about six months after initially planting it..
•Relocating Elephant Ears can put the plant in a state of shock. This can be easily identified as the leaves appear to by dying. Do not be discouraged, the plant will re-grow after a few weeks..
•Be sure to remove ALL of the plant roots when removing or relocating the Elephant Ear plant.
•I can't imagine why you would do this, but do not eat the leaves of the plant. Elephant Ear plants are poisonous..
