Do you like to garden ?

I Finally got some answers about my fruit trees by sending a photo to the dep of agriculture, and I also showed photos to a small garden centre/ shop @Don Alaska

(The lady in the small garden centre - originally worked for dep of agriculture)

both agreed it’s a chemical , weed spray issue that’s effected the roots of the trees , they may survive by treating with Seasol spay on ( again) which was done yesterday ..again …with a new bottle I purchased while out shopping ….Hub did it as soon as I got home …its stinks like fish / seaweed ….,so he came in and had a shower right after spraying
I hope you can save your trees @Kate Ellery. I am definitely an anti-herbicide guy. They do make things easier, but the risks are considerable.
 
It looks like we have moved out of the arctic freeze weather and headed into spring now, which is awesome news ! I moved the tree kale that I had transplanted from the aerogarden into a container out onto the porch along with a couple other plants that should be fine outside now. We are looking at days in the 60’s mostly and warmer nights.
I started more tomatoes seeds and kale in the Aerogardens, and once they are growing good, it should be warm enough to move them outside for the summer.

I went through my garden seeds, and I can’t find the packets for the dwarf tomatoes, so I suppose I will have to order them again before I find the envelope that they are in. Anyway, I had some seed packets for the Atomic tomatoes and San Marzano, which is similar to a Roma tomato. I don’t do well trying to grow the large tomatoes, so we just go to the farmers market in the summer and buy those.
 
Daughter said they had fruit trees already at Menards, where she works. Unfortunately they are often blooming when delivered and if you don't have a greenhouse or (?) there is no point to getting any. She said there were Contender peach trees that would grow here but I think we have enough. What I want is Stanley or Italian plum trees. Last year someone roped them all off the first day to buy them. This year should be a good plum year so I will save the pits to sprout. Hope they stay true to breed.
