I like to keep my yard looking nice, but I'll be the first to admit that I do not have a green thumb. I pretty much do the minimum and expect a few losses as a result. That being said, I worked pretty hard on this one. I didn't spray the first year, but sprayed regularly after that, pruned, etc. We've had this apricot tree for about 4 years now and it seems to have contracted death. We had a peach tree too, but it only took a year to die. We've had a lot of fungus problems here, a complication of our wet climate I would assume.

I Am Not a Constant Gardener

Major bummer! I am hoping I can get some good produce this summer for jam and such, I'm not sure I'll get lucky though.
I've been wondering when that one would finally bite it. I am the same kind of gardener. I feel like I should get better results than I usually do... That being said, my pumpkin is exploding through the chicken-wire. Hopefully it won't fruit outside of it's protective enclosure or it will get attacked by the killer rodents (squirrels, chipmunks, and bunnies)...
I am kind of against gardening as a concept. Unless it has some huge practical or aesthetic benefit it is mostly just making work for myself, which I can hardly think why I would do!
