Four pounds of tomatillos and 3 and half pounds of black magic’s and arriba jalapeños. Time to make salsa verde
LOVE the elderberries!anything they call white is usually a light cream color! Nice pepper if you like hot ones which I personally cant stand! LOL!! A lotta guys love them!
The elderberries down the road from our farm are blooming,--- all 5 acres of them!
Thanks, I'll try that this fall. Doesn't sound silly at all.The best time for transplanting any woody plant is during a month with an R in it since they are mostly dormant at that time. During the growing season its chancy as to if they will live or not.
I know it sounds silly but I have found it true.
Another thing is to try getting as much of a dirt clump with them as possible and less feeder roots will be broke off.
This 5 acre planting is a commercial project by a farm family. Interesting to watch them harvest and process them. Then they send the juice off somewhere.
What about starting from seed?elderberrys are picky about being transplanted,-- or thats what we have found.
I did a search on YT and this came upThanks, I'll try that this fall. Doesn't sound silly at all.
I have pretty good luck transplanting just about anything any time, but not those elderberries!
It's Blackberry time! Hopefully it'll be a good season.

Picked my first for the year yesterday; had them over ice cream. Ran into a pest which I've never had before. Any ideas?

Yes it does, thanks. Never seen them before on berries. I'll keep an eye on them and if I have a major infestation, I'll spray.Looks like squash bug eggs.

Okay. I'll try that too in the fall.They CLAIM elderberries can be started from cuttings. I never tried it and if you can find seedling plants growing,--- grab them with a big chunk of dirt and go with them! Even in summer there is a good chance the seedlings will grow. Just keep them real wet the first summer and they wont know they been moved. Have done that here and had good luck. Digging old plants usually dont work during the summer!
