Peach Leaf Curl in Central Valley, CA
How critical is it to heavily spray peach/nectarines to prevent peach leaf curl in the central valley in CA (like Fresno)? We only get about 6-7 inches of rain total from Nov thru Feb, the majority coming on relatively few days during storm weather.
I have several young stone fruits in the ground which haven't fruited (I took them off the first two years) but leafed OK and had no pests. I recently purchased a couple dozen more dwarf stone & pome fruits (genetic and rootstock dwarf) for containers -- none were sprayed by the nursery.
I've generously sprayed Liqui-Cop (8%) per the label on the peaches & nectarines with most showing full swell on buds, but no green tips breaking through. I have not sprayed any cherry or pome (a few apples and a few pears).
I help neighbors with their peach trees and they do not spray whatsoever and have very mild pest problems with no visible leaf curl. They have bountiful crops, too many if not thinned.
1st: Is this because the risk of leaf curl here is much, much lower than in the wet climates of the nation?
2nd: Should I spray my new (bare root) dwarf cherry and pome trees?
3rd: I recently purchased Micro-Cop 50% (took forever to find the last remaining stock) -- should I apply it once 10 days have passed from the original Liqui-Cop application? Or am I fairly safe with just the one before-bloom application on these immature fruit trees?
1. You're correct. Fungus don't like to live in a desert. Neither do insects.
2. If I had neighbors growing bountiful fruit crops with no-spray, I wouldn't be spraying anything.
3. Whatever the copper formulation, the purpose of spraying it near bloom on pome trees is for fireblight suppression. The purpose of applying it post dormant on stone fruit is for bacterial spot. With 7" annual rainfall, you don't have either of these diseases.
Sounds like the only thing you have to worry about applying is water :-)
Well, Fresno isn't exactly the desert :)
But I lost a baby Arctic Jay the first year I was growing peaches from peach leaf curl. Some varieties are more susceptible than others. I still get a few leaves coming down with it with only one or two sprays, so I would advise try spraying just once, and see if that is enough control. But with some people forecasting monster rainfall in February for California, this isn't the year to be experimenting, IMO.
Carla in Sac
I usually update threads just for future reference from folks searching for answers. This year was a strange spring with early heat, then frequent cold and short rain spells.
The neighbors that never spray copper all have peach leaf curl. My trees had zero curl, I only sprayed Liqui-cop once in late Jan as stated above.
IMO, if you live in this area (
We have actually had a horrible peach leaf curl season here in Northern California due to our weird cold spring. It's only been since it got warmer towards the end of May that it has stopped. For example my Spice-Zee nectaplum has had almost every leaf affected ongoingly, even on growth now a foot or two long, on every leaf that has come out since February. Usually its just the first flush of growth, and it's over. I haven't sprayed again because I keep thinking it's got to stop sometime!!!
Do those of you in rainy climates spray all year for curl?
Carla in Sac
Carla, peach curl infection doesn't take place year 'round, it only takes place once when the buds swell. Basically, asexual spores get washed into the buds and there they infect all the future leaves to come out. That's why spraying is totally ineffective once you discover you have peach curl.
So usually it's sufficient to spray your favorite fungicide (organic or synthetic) right at bud swell in the Spring. However, to be safe, it's best to spray once in the Fall right after leaf fall as well to reduce the spores going into Winter.
In a warm year, peach curl may already be in the leaves but if conditions are warm and dry, then the peach curl fungus can't grow. It likes it best between 50 and 70F with plenty of rain.
Yes, well, that's what I thought, excdept that I have foot-long branches of new growth, which started growing in February that have peach-leaf curl along the entire thing! I do not understand how every new leaf has curl on it, now for 4 months.
Carla in Sac
I've seen the same behavior Carla -- new leaves will still spring up here and there, I assume if the weather and ferts support it. When they do, they already will be carrying the fungus if the other leaves had/still have it.
Oh and BTW -- my young Bartlett pears are also showing signs of Fireblight damage at the tips of several limbs.
Olpea said: With 7" annual rainfall, you don't have either of these diseases.
Perhaps "in any severe form" should be added to the end of that sentence.
Carla, do you spray anything other than Copper/Sulfur and a dormant oil for your fruit trees? And of course, the Tanglefoot.

Help with home exterior!
I need some serious help picking brick and stone for our house. We are building a house that looks kind of like this house.
All our gables will come to a peak and the roof won't stick out over the garage. The front of the garage will be flush with the gable and will go straight up to a peak. We had originally thought we'd do just stone on the entry and brick everywhere else. However, last night DH and I were experimenting with putting stone on the garage section to balance it a bit.
So, I need some help not only figuring out where to put brick and stone but what brick and stone would look best. Im doing a carriage style garage door and I really like the look of dark browm for the shutters and garage. Beyond that, I'm stuck.
I'm on the iPad and opulent figure out how to get a picture in the post so my apologies.
Thanks for all your help.
Trying to get link in.
Here is a link that might be useful: House Photo
I'm not sure a brick-and-stone mix is the best choice for this house. It has a lot going on already. Could you go with all stone? If not that, then all brick?
Also, I really do not like the two different gable treatments. Go with all jerkin-headed or all unclipped. Mixing it up does not work.
We are currently in the process of choosing brick and stone and I am amazed at how difficult it has been. Many of the panels I see and like look very different on a house. I think it is critical that you see the brick on an actual house with the mortar before you decide. Of course, you need to have an idea of what color you might like before you can do that.
Have you chosen a general color of brick? Many of the brick makers have samples and actual photos of houses built with the brick on their websites. Our builder has given us addresses of homes to look at that have the brick we are interested in, and so far we have not liked any of them. At least we were able to eyeball them, so to speak.
The answer to the stone question will depend on the brick I think. We are still undecided on whether or not to use stone because our style of house looks better without it. So, don't use it just because you can, but because it will enhance the appearance of your home.
Best wishes on your build.

Every year I try to find a way to keep track of the books we read in class. I have tried to list the books on chart paper and I find that I easily lose track, and I get tired of writing all those titles.
Last year I listed the books we read on Shelfari. I loved keeping track on Shelfari, but I didn't necessarily connect it to the class. So, I finally came up with an idea I love!!
I am taking book covers and making them
little. I put five in a row on a sheet of paper and print them out. I decided to glue the covers on paper with spaces between each row. At the end of the month, you can see the names on Post-it's under students favorite September book.
I was surprised by some of the books students enjoyed.
Listening to these conversations helps me get to know my students better too.
I think voting each month gives us a ritual and adds excitement to our book work.
|We took the top five and voted one more time! The winners
We counted how many books which were easy because one of the boys in my class counted the first row 5 and quickly counted by 5's all the way down the chart. I do plan to add numbers to this chart. Not only is this an easy way to keep track, but it's a great way to incorporate math into the lesson.
These are my favorite books for September

Each month we will fill in the sheet below.

A delegation comprising 22 politicians from 13 parties, led by Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday night to demand protection of India's territory along the Myanmar border.
Protests have erupted over the construction of a border fence along the Manipur-Myanmar border in the Moreh sector, since chunks of Indian territory will go to the neighbouring country after the work is completed.
Ms. Kim Gangte, State president of the TMC says at least 18 tribal villages along the border will be affected since the fence will pass through them. Choro Khunou in Ukhrul district will entirely go to Myanmar, she said.
The BJP and the Manipur People's Party are boycotting the visit, however.
Mr. Singh told reporters that the delegates demanded suspension of the construction work till a final agreement is reached.

Enterprising Cairo drivers, always eager to entice a fare, now offer a trip to "Cairo's famous Tahrir Square" for visitors.
"Going down to Tahrir and walking around it could be hard, but everyone wants to know what happened so we explain the revolution of course," said a cautious Mohsen.
"But I think we won't stop for people to walk around Tahrir," Mohsen said of the landmark, where protesters and security forces fought running battles, and from which the tanks have pulled back, but only into nearby side streets.
Egypt, which before the crisis had been receiving about $280 million a week from tourism until tens of thousands fled the revolution after travel warnings by their governments, has had its tourist scares before and has overcome them.
Attackers killed 58 tourists and four Egyptians at an ancient temple near the southern town of Luxor in 1997, six gunmen and three police died. That damaged tourism severely.
From 2004 to 2006, there was a series of deadly bomb attacks at Red Sea resorts in the Sinai. But tourists by that time had become more inured, given militant attacks in U.S. and European cities. Tourist bookings very swiftly recovered.
"Tourism in Egypt may get sick," said guide and Egyptologist Wagih Thabit, looking after his first visitors since before the January uprising at the weekend. "But it will never die."

HIS Radeon HD 6870 1GB Turbo Video Card - Card and SpecificationsHIS is the first company to bring us a pre-overclocked HD 6800 series card. It comes in the form of the higher end HD 6870 and falls into the Turbo series.
The Card
Checking out the card, you're again not going to really see anything that you didn't see from the HIS HD 6870 we already looked at. On the cooler the main difference is the Turbo marking to let you know we're indeed working with the Turbo model.
Doing a quick spin around the card, you're going to see our two 6-Pin PCI-E connectors at the top of the card, single CF connector at the front and connectivity is in the form of a Dual-Link DVI, Single-Link DVI, HDMI and two Mini DisplayPorts.
HIS hasn't gone too crazy with the overclock. Being such an early stage, it's safe to say that companies haven't quite found the maximum safe overclock they can offer yet. We're sure that HIS will again attack overclocking when we see the IceQ series greet us.
At 920MHz the core has been bumped by 20MHz which isn't huge. Fortunately the memory has had a slightly more significant boost moving from 4200MHz QDR to 4480MHz QDR. We're not going to see huge gains from the overclock, but the increased memory speed should clearly separate it from a stock clocked card.

Travertine Decking
Just installed travertine decking around our pool. Does anyone know if you have to use a certain kind of sealer for salt water? I would like to enhance the color slightly and seal it also. I know there is a enhancer/sealer, but I don't know if I have to use a specific sealer for a salt water pool.
Would either of you have pictures of your travertine? I'm about to get new coping and have been given a choice of 2 shades - one is more traditional/beige, and the other, which I want to get, is called silver. It's more gray, but still seems to have streaks of brown, beige tones.
I'd have loved to get something really gray, like bluestone, but I just don't want to spend the money, and I really prefer to get a natural stone rather than pavers.
The only reason I would seal it is to enhance it.
Down side to enhancing sealers is it is shiny, will make it more slick, will have to be redone every so many years.
Will make paths. Areas where you come out of your house often will get more wear and take the sheen away faster and be very noticeable after a period of time.
You have a virtually maintenance free product, why mess with it.
travertine rarely is affected by salt, however it can happen. Softer stone, such as flagstone, is definitely more prone to it.
DuPont and 3M both make salt resistant sealers for natural stone, but due to the constant maintenance/upkeep of sealers, I wouldn't seal it unless (like just-a-pb said) it was to enhance the color if I felt like I picked the "wrong" color and couldn't live with it the way it is.
Like many things, every pool is different. A pool with 5 kids and 2 labradors is going to have much more salt residue left on the deck at the entry steps than a pool owned by two older adults.
As soon as I learn how to upload pictures, I will post them. In the meantime thanks for all your advice.
We picked the lightest of all the travertine finishes, and find that in the sunlight, it is extremely white looking. I would recommend getting a darker shade.
Another issue with sealing is making it slippery.
Travertine naturally is slip resistant against skin when wet.
When you seal it, you can lose that property.

LOOKING for: Woody's pulverized orange
chery2May 6, 2007
How'd it turn out?
Hi Chery - I goofed and I didn't have any old, soft bananas to use on Friday when I was baking. I made "cinnamon sensation coffeecake" instead since I had all the ingredients. I now have a couple of bananas set aside to ripen just to make your bread in a couple of days - I'm still thinking about that orange, LOL. I do believe that I will use real sugar instead of Splenda, when I do make it.

Natural Decorations
15 Dec 20143
I had planned a post on making Christmas decorations using natural resources - a wreath, a table centrepiece and maybe a garland. Offering a little look into the crazy celebrations of my family from years ago, anecdotal and (hopefully) a little witty. Instead, I have spent the weekend ill, huddled on my sofa watching my favourite musicals. I always finding myself turning to the comforts of my childhood whenever I need a pick-me-up and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers certainly hits that mark, although my neighbours will perhaps not agree thanks to my hoarse warbling along to the songs, out of tune and too loud (Sobbin' Women is a firm fave to holler along to).
Instead, I'll leave you with a link to my wreath from last year and a recommendation to visit Erin's guides to simple and thoughtful gift giving (below); minimalist is a good choice at this time of year, especially if your budget is already stretched to bursting and Erin has some ideas to help. If you're wanting to make your own decorations (or presents), why not check out my Yuletide Pinterest board for more inspiration and links to how-to's. I'll be back next week, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Leek + Potato Soup
8 Dec 20146
It's no secret that I have a horrendous relationship with food, although it may come as a surprise if you've perused my Pinterest boards (see below). There is no draw for me, no pull to satiate, no love of texture, taste or colour. I have no interest in food itself, and will often forego meals simply because I have no desire or appetite to eat. I live, so firmly entrenched in my head, that unless my body is starving I simply don't notice.
I exist on meals that can be made quickly; egg on toast, pizza, cheap oven fries and unadventurous salads. Too often I've surfaced from a book, from coding, from the internet or from a project, stomach protesting and temper waning, to realise I'm hungry but that it's also bed time. I can't think of a single occasion where I've chosen food over sleep. Although that particular quirk may not come as a terrible shock if you've read my previous post.
This isn't a new trait with me either, just like sleep (or lack thereof) it's a part of my personal landscape, woven into my being like my backbone, love of laughter and off-key singing. I have good days and bad days, good days can stretch into weeks, where I make a conscious effort to eat three meals a day and cook properly. Those weeks rarely stretch into months, there's simply too many other things demanding my attention.
Living A Simple Lifestyle
1 Dec 201412
I have lost my mojo. I know not where it has gone, I'm not even really sure I got it back after the last time it disappeared; mojo and I, it seems, are on the outs. I struggle to make this space something I can be proud of, something constant, and yet my mojo remains absent, my fingers still, this blog empty. And it seems I'm not alone in this. It occurs to me to wonder what else I'm not alone in.
I have a busy mind that buzzes in perfect counterpoint to the router beside my bed, a monotone symphony in the darkness that swells in the pauses of my sleepy internal melody and fills my thoughts with images of hot summer days, the hum of insects and strawberry juice sucked off salty fingers, a too hot wolf panting at my feet. The song of the router is new, the result unfortunately is not: broken sleep, four hours at a time. I slept for five and a half hours last night, it was a cause for celebration.
Of all the things that interest me - and there are so very many, my mind jumping from pillar to post, from thought to idea, from inspiration to aspiration to apathy - there is little that drives me. I like to learn, but on my terms. I like to drift in new ideas, but the ideas I choose to swim in are so very small. I like to pretend the laundry pile isn't taking over my bedroom floor and instead read, read, read, with a black and white cat curled into my side and a wolf sleeping peacefully at my feet. Busy mind soothed, until bedtime at least. Idle hands, drafted into turning pages, want for something more. I think the rest of me perhaps feels the same way, but my foggy frantic brain is too busy processing and over stimulated, so instead I wait. For what, I don't know, but I sit and read and wait, strangely discontent but not unhappy.

Winter Wreath
16 Dec 20130
Christmas has become something much different to my experiences as a child. Rampant commercialism, one-upmanship on present giving, ridiculous amounts of money for ridiculous amounts of presents. When did Christmas become something you could buy instead of something you enjoyed, celebrated? I'm not a believer in the big organised religions, so I have no structure to use as a focus for this winter celebration, but I was inspired by a recent blog post I read (although, alas, I cannot remember who by) where the writer had decided to reclaim the spirit of Christmas by celebrating it as the winter solstice. I fell in love with that idea, the solstices are already important to me (especially as I was born on the cusp of the winter one) so I'm claiming Christmas back too, using it to kick start the time of year spent in reflection, cosied up with loved ones and celebrating family.
There's a long tradition of taking nature's bounty and bringing it inside in celebration, albeit not one my family partook in according to my admittedly horrendous long term memory. But, as a child that ran barefoot through the woods now grown up, the idea of bringing some of that beauty into my home appeals to me greatly. How can I celebrate mid-Winter without my beloved woods?

- Sara CDallas, United States"Solid hotel"ReviewedMarch 26, 2015Trip type:BusinessWhile the Radisson has had room updates, the exterior and some common areas still seemed a little tired. The restaurant is a lively Key West themed bar which was a little different but good. My phone didn't work and my toilet took some jiggling of the handle to quit the running water. Personnel was nice and bed was comfy.StayedMarch 2015Review collected in partnership with this hotel

Very helpful and friendly staff. They always try to accommodate me when I request a particular room. I stay here often while in MKE taking care of family issues. It's a very comfortable hotel. I highly recommend it.StayedMarch 2015Review collected in partnership with this hotel
- Mike SGrand Haven, United States"Great stay at a value!"ReviewedMarch 16, 2015Trip type:BusinessClean and comfortable just out of the hub bub, good food and amenities for the money. I like the new bar and restaurant, staff is always willing and happy to help with any need including finding a phone charger for me to use along with other office suppllies I forgot to pack. The rooms are quiet even next to the elevator I had barely detectable noises, the heating and cooling controls are a thermostat and not levers on a noisy machine in the window. all in all my stays there have been comfortable and refreshing.StayedMarch 2015Review collected in partnership with this hotel
- Lee HAlgoma, United States"Needs a little customer service training"ReviewedMarch 10, 2015Trip type:BusinessThis hotel was clean and very neat, but staff seemed a little put out and lackadaisical. Hot water went out Sunday morning and lots of guests had cold showers. Saturday night the room service staff lost our order. Don't ask for early check-in, they get a little crabby and push your time back an hour!StayedMarch 2015Review collected in partnership with this hotel
