I had a horrible goose grass problem last year. Round up Quick will kill it. I applied a fall and spring preemergent, so hoping it will be better this season.

If you happen to live around Acadiana, Urban Naturalist and Acadiana Native Plant Project both sell 4” plants if you want plants instead of seeds. If I were planting in a smaller bed I’d go with plants because you can arrange them in an aesthetic format and you don’t have to deal with seed stratification which some natives require. If you want specific seeds Prairie Moon is reputable although not local-ecotype.

Just a heads up. Projected lows in mid-30s here in Vermilion on Sunday and Monday night. If y’all stuck tomatoes in the ground already prepare to dust off the old tarp. One good thing about trellising tomatoes - you can just throw a tarp over the whole trellis and put some 2x4s on the ground the keep it in contact with the ground.
Ended up ordering from Four Winds. Libson lemon, Bearss lime, Koroneiki olive. Already have a potted Arbequina olive so they should be able to cross pollinate. They will all live in containers using the peat, perlite, sand mix with compost, osmocote, mulch on top. Current olive tree is thriving in that setup after I washed dirt off of roots and repotted. I’ve learned a lot from this thread.
Awesome advice, thanks! Never thought to ask about rootstock. We don’t eat the lemons - just use for juice and zest. Appreciate you. Will likely go with Libson as I’ll be able to bring it inside during freezes.
Question for yall about lemons. I’ve had an improved Meyer in ground for 3 years and I’m done fighting with the lack of cold tolerance. I’d like to put a lemon in a container on my screened in porch. Mostly bright shade - maybe 1-2 hours of direct sun but lots of indirect light. I can always roll it onto carport where it would get more direct sun though. My local garden center has improved Meyer, Libson, and variegated eureka pink flesh lemon. Which of those would yall recommend for this application? Looking to prune it to maintain a 5-6’ height or so.

They just repaved hwy 35 from the Lafayette parish line (northern prong of bayou) to highway 92 (rice bins). The Acadia parish section of 35 south of Rayne is still trash.

It only takes about a week of increasing sunlight each day to harden them off. They are just not super fast growers. I seeded peppers in cells about a month ago and they’ll be ready to up pot into a 4” container this upcoming weekend. They’ll stay in 4” pots for around 3 weeks before transplanting outside. That’s around a 7 week timeframe from seed to planting outside. I think 8 weeks from seed to transplant is pretty normal for peppers - give or take.

ASAP, peppers take several weeks from seed to transplant.

I’m well into Spring garden mode. Started hardening off tomatoes, marigolds and chamomile this morning. Peppers and eggplant will be up potted next weekend. Beans, corn, and potatoes and going in the ground now. Cucumber, melons, and okra and getting direct seeded at the end of February. I tend to jump the gun a bit, but thinking I’ll be putting tomatoes in the ground in about 2 weeks

If you have a lot of predators then make it a permanent coop with run and wrap it with 1/2” hardware cloth.
I have 3 satsumas and a Meyer lemon in the ground. This time I just stuffed the trunk with straw inside of hardware cloth. If they die they die. I’ll go back with some more figs or blueberries
Edit - I did roll my passion fruit, olive, and a couple young potted figs in the shop. Put a heat lamp on them and they look good.

This will be my first time planting them in the vegetable garden. I’ve read they are good a companion plant. If nothing else they are pretty to look at and should add some diversity to the beds.
I’m starting my tomato, pepper, and marigold seeds this weekend.
Tomatoes - Rosella, Sunrise bumble, Carbon, Ozark pink, Dr. Wychee
Peppers - Ozark giant, Jalapeño lemon
Eggplant - Rosita
Cucumbers - Dasher 2, Chinese jade
Okra - LA 16”, Heavy hitter
Corn - Orchard baby sweet
Beans - Kentucky wonder, Chinese red noodle, Dragons tongue
Melons - Crimson sweet, Sugar dew
Amaranth - Pink beauty
Flowers - Marigold tangerine, Chamomile, Sunflowers
Herbs - Giant Italian parsley, Slo bolt cilantro

I’ve found them at native plant nurseries. You can propagate by cuttings now if you have access to any.
You can use a grass specific herbicide but it’ll kill your native grasses in that mix also. Depends how bad the infestation is but manual weeding would be best if feasible. If you use herbicide just spot spray with low pressure and a cone around the nozzle tip.
I’ll take some of those beetles and moths if it means they’ll control the tallow over here. If you have any insects that will control privet I’ll pay a premium lol

Depends how much you’re trying to burn. The handheld torches that use the small Coleman bottles are easy and can be refilled. The big wands put out but you have to lug around a bigger propane bottle. Hard to beat a drip torch also. Just depends on the situation.

Put 6 UFO lights in my 30x40x12 and they are bright as hell and were easy to hard wire on a switch.

I see what you did there.
Most are right. Instruments should be wiped of gross soil and sprayed with an enzymatic detergent at point of use. Once in decontam then it’s manually washed with an enzymatic solution and rinsed. Some items are washed in an ultrasonic. Most items except delicates are sent though the auto washer. It is then passed to the prep and pack side. They inspect and pack instruments and include indicators in the pack. They are then sterilized usually either via steam or vaporized hydrogen peroxide. I doubt any hospitals still use ETO but big manufacturers do. Bowie dick test and biological done every morning and another biological with implant loads. Chemical indicators are in the packs. In a nutshell.
