- 0

Sunny 18°C / 64°FI’ve noticed something is eating the lemon tree leaves. I’ve not looked at the tree most of winter, so it may not be recent. I have free roaming chickens, but I’m sure they don’t peck lemon tree leaves. Any ideas what it could be? What are common pests that attack lemon t...

I was using iPhoto to sync all my garden photos to flickr, but for some reason iPhoto “resyncs” and the photo changes on flickr – then the pic is lost here on myfolia. I’m going to drop using iPhoto to Flickr sync,and upload them manually.24°C / 75°F -

Cloudy 18°C / 64°FAs it has cooled off, and the rain stopped – I thought it was time to pollinate the Pumpkins. There are about 5 females that the flowers have died off, and they were obviously not pollinated. So following instructions from the Pumpkin Nook I did the deed. Now there are about 6 females polli...

This one still seems to be my favourite. Probably because it has been providing for so long.Sunny 38°C / 100°F
