Would remove satsuma fruit. Too many freezes likely left. Should do it's main flowering in spring.

Dwarf Hawaiian is one of the earliest flowering mangos. Even a touch of cold sends them into bloom. Let it set fruit, then cut about 80% of the whole panicle off when they are pea sized. Then remove the remaining pea sized fruit on the 20% leftover panicle, but do not remove the remaining panicle. If you do, it will just waste energy flowering again. When these grafted trees are young you need to trick them into thinking they've set fruit, but all their energy will actually go to vegetative growth.

Actually, not confused! Lemons and limes are year-round bloomers in their proper climates where there is almost constant warm weather without freezes. My key lime is flowering now in my greenhouse. A week or 2 of warm weather like this often causes flowering in the dead of winter.

Now if you see an orange or satsuma blooming strongly in the winter, something is getting truly weird and you need to send me the budwood immediately so I can file the patent before LSU Ag gets their hands on it. :lol:

When Brian Kelly was hired he was the all time winningest coach in Notre Dame history. Although his ultimate quality proved to be mediocre, you cannot fault the hire or the expectations. It's not akin to Florida thinking Napier was elite, etc. And ultimately we fired his arse less than halfway through his contract because it wasn't good enough. And it wasn't terrible; it just wasn't excellent.

So can you really clown LSU for swinging for the fences, missing, owning it, and then dusting themselves off to swing big again instead of pussying out and hiring the next unproven G5 guy?

I don't know man, it just looks like a program that will seek excellence until it finds it to me.

He's right.

This is 100% correct. When he blows it up and leaves we'll say thanks for the hardware and hire the next guy.

Yahoo Sports going hard af :lol:

Uhhh yeah, that's why we took your shite. It was nice.

It really is uncanny. I remember thinking after Burrow had thrown his like 19th TD pass in the playoff game "why are you letting us do this? Why are you gay?"

Trump was the battering ram you needed to break down the door. JD is the one who has an actual axe to grind against this entire system and the intelligence to do it. JD would not be possible without Trump first but I'm ready for JD.

man you've got to watch those portable greenhouses.
Mine worked great last night with my little heater and thermostat. stayed above 44F all night.
went outside at 10:30 am this morning to go open the greenhouse up and get some ventilation in it and it was 87F inside it. No wonder Frosty melted so quickly.

Yes. I've posted about this a few times in here. The sunny day after the freeze is just as dangerous as the cold under the right circumstances. This only matters on sunny days. If the high is under 50F, you can leave it closed and the heater running with your thermostat. If the high is above 50F, you need to leave the door/windows open before leaving for work. It's better for them to sit in the mid 30's for an hour or two until the sun hits them and warms them up than it is to cook them all day.

The worst possible thing you can do is leave it closed with the heater on without a thermostat on a sunny day above 50F. It can very easily pass 120F and cook all your plants. There is no scenario where you should ever have a heat source in a plastic greenhouse without a thermostat controller. Anyone doing that is doomed from the start and you see people do it every year.

For example, it's going to be sunny with a high of 60F tomorrow, but it will be 30F when I leave for work. So before I leave I will open half the windows and leave the doors closed. The heater may run for an hour or two trying to overcome the outside air, but as soon as the sun hits it will automatically cut off and the windows will provide enough ventilation to avoid temps in the 90s.

And honestly temps in the 80s are good for the things we're growing. It warms up the roots and helps the plants metabolize and fight off infection.

Very good ingenuity in a pinch. You will know in a could of days if the blooms all start dropping. We only hit 28F here and the threshold for loquat flowers/fruit is about 27F so there is a good chance you succeeded.
