New Shoes and a Peach Problem

The good news for the day is that I got an awesome pair of Garden Grips. They are from GardenShoesOnline, and they are the most comfortable pair of garden shoes I've ever had. Normal crocs have holes so my feet get wet. But these are awesome and have all kinds of support inside. The big plus is that they're not 6 inches wide like most crocs. Plus, if I wanted to, I could wear them to the gator games because I was able to get orange.

Next on my list is the problematic peach tree. Yesterday I had to cut out a rubber tree stake that I left on the trunk for too long. It grew right into the tree trunk. Stupid mistake.




Today, I took a better look at that one lonely peach and noticed some kind of brown gummy goo on the peach itself. I spent a few hours today on the internet and still I don't know if I've got borers or something else. At any rate, I yanked off the golf ball size fruit and then doused the tree with Bears fruit tree powder. Argh. Worst case scenario, all the leaves fall off...it's not like I'd be killing all the fruit.

  3. The shoes are cute! However, I love Crocs, mostly because they are 6 inches wide. I did buy some from their site that didn't have holes. I see a lot of hose/wire growing out of trees around here too. People do just forget about the stuff.

  4. Love the shoes!!!!!! I am always goibng back and forth on shoes. #1 I like flip flops, but your feet end up looking like you have never worn shoes in your life, and you are in constant need of a pedicure. #2 crocs....I feel like I could go skiing, and EVERYTHING gets in them. I spend more time shaking them out than I do wearing them. Those you have would be nive....but I would have a major tanline!! LOL!!!Dilemmas, dilemmas
