Gardening: trees

My Ginkgo Biloba is 2 years old now and it is not growing. He is planted in full sun and I have not fertilized him. What could be wrong?

  • The structure of the heavily laden peach tree.  The left limb is the one that is dragging.

Gardening: Peach Trees.

One of my two peach trees is so heavily laden with peaches that I fear the limbs will break. They are hanging almost to the ground. My Master Gardner cousin told me to pick some of the peaches off and throw them away. I hate to do that. I wonder, if it survives the crop, if I need to prune it in a different way for next year. I had to get far back to photograph as the tree has blocked the back yard. I will post a close up of how the limbs are in such trouble. Tell me what you would do.

  • The dull blank wall as one entered my foyer is changed to a friendly female Chinese Peacock and a road and fence in perspective. 2
  • So then I hung my deceased sister's birds with my deceased mother's Chinese male Peacock on bottom.

My MURAL in foyer.

This is for the lady in Tampa who painted the beach and gulf on a bland wall outside . I cannot find her tonight but had told her I would post my foyer mural.

Gardening: I need to know why I changed out my straw????

How does my garden look? What kind of straw is on the ground? I learned on hometalk to not use pine straw so I took it up and replaced it with this. I have forgotten why but I think it was due to too much acid in pine straw. Someone please enlighten me on what I have done.

Painting: I have two warping back screen doors. This is what I am doing to restore them"

Please please tell me if this is going to work or not. I have secured all finish nail parts. I have glued and pressed in place the bottom of the worse case door. I even nailed it to ...»
the frame with 3 finish nails. I sprayed it down with water inside and out. Tomorrow I will prime all the outside wood on both doors and apply the top coats when prime is dry. After all that I believe I can finish all the necessary paint and will have straight doors. Will it work or am I dreaming. I am too old to take the doors off the hinges but I have tightened the hinges and added a missing screw. INPUT PLEASE.
