Found another batch of scapes and more pictures.

11 years ago

Hey, I found the first one to scape up on the daylily plateau in the backyard. TEWNNESSEE AFTERGLOW. Funny but the much eatlier bloomers around it don't have any sign of scapes.

And this one of the extra earlies is near blooming!

Iris still blooming. This is AGEAN WIND.

A section of Tower Square Garden.

Pink view in the backyard.

The little tree garden with one lupine blooming.

A few roses have started.

Roses (sunblaze mini's) with Siberian Iris GREAT FALLS LOVE.

And I have been busy. Yesterday I dug out a white climbing rose that used to be here by the corner of the porch. Cut it up and tossed it. Didn't like it so it is now gone!

Ritaa, your garden is stunningly lovely as always. I especially like the photo with the pink iris, the one with the lupine (so very neat) and the Siberian Iris.

Everything is lovely.

Love the iris, but I think my favorite photo is the one of the roses & siberian iris, they look so very pretty together.

Very pretty pic!! I collected 36 eggs on the Asclepias curassavica the other night. Somebody when on a laying spree. :) My plants were started from seed, but they are not as big as yours, and are not flowering yet. They are about 4 - 8 inches tall, but very healthy. Apparently the mama Monarch liked them! I will have to start supplementing with wild milkweed to raise this many.

We shall see. I took your advice Dave, took the gloves off, took the top inch or two of kraut off the top and chucked it. Drained off most of the brine in the jar, added some fresh brine with it in a pot and heated it. Put in jars and processed. I did taste some of the leftovers stuck in the pot and it tasted good! I'm guessing I might have to rinse off some of the fresh brine when it's time to go but it had good flavor and a nice snap to the kraut. I didn't go blind from the stuff I ate so I hope I'm good!!

great pictures patsi! Thank you for sharing. I noticed that you've cut off a lot of leaves from the plants. Did you do that in purpose to get your tomatoes a better taste? If not, what's your purpose of doing that? I'm a newbie for garden and I'm growing sweet 100. I wasn't as sweet as I thought. What would you recommand for me to grow next year. In fact, I have seeds from my friend for tigerella, blondkopfchen and golden jubilee that I haven't tried them to grow from seeds yet. Are they all good at taste? Should I give it a try next year for those seeds or should I buy something else like black cherry, etc..

Thanks, Kay. We have had lots of rain here so the garden has been blooming like crazy this spring.

Nancy, this two sort of snuggled up to each other and did make a very pretty picture.

Jean, there is a tree in a pot and the pot is sunken in ground just behind that one big daylily clump in the middle of the picture. And today I was already planting in my empty spot left behind from the rose. I planted three tomato plants LOL!

Really nice pics of your iris. Hoping to visit the local iris farm tomorrow in search of a pink, red, yellow and whatever else my eye zooms in on LOL.

Lovely, lovely, Beautiful garden shots, and that is some tall pink iris. I think it should be named Flamingo since it has such tall "legs". LOL Of course, the blue irises are favorites, but I'll take everything, if only I could. I won't be here to see your first daylily pictures, sorry to miss them, but I will catch up when I return.

I love all the wonderful color combos going on in your garden. I especially like the roses with the purple iris and the yellow columbines with the mixed iris. Everything looks refreshed from the rain. And YAY, we will be seeing your daylily blooms soon and I can't wait.

My favorite photo is the one with the pink iris in the foreground. The little tree garden is laid out very well! Do the snapdragons last all summer for you? I love how fancy looking that Siberian Iris is. The only one I grow, Caesar's Brother, is a very plain looking purple.

Your iris are beautiful. I like the look of the one garden with the one lupine!! My Tennessee Afterglow decided to shoot up tons of scapes the other day too, seems like they do it overnight!!

Thanks, everyone. The tall bearded iris have bloomed exceptionally well this year. And that one Siberian iris and the rose sort of grew together and look look blooming with each other.

Debra, yes snapdragons last all summer here until frost. Of course if there is no rain I have to water them. And the mosdern Sibgerians are quite fancy and the tets usually have much bigger flowers than the dips.

Cindy, the one lupine is the only one to bloom there but there are actually four lupine plants in there. The rest all died. So I just bought a flat of snapdragons and stuck them in there fo0r this year to give some color. I did plant Fruit Punch poppies in there in back of those snaps so they will bloom there next year. I have some Fruit Punch in another area and they are blooming now.

I am seeing more and more scapes each day so I guess it will be an early season.

Your garden is always a work of art. I adore your purple irises. So jealous they don't grow here. The lupine is very interesting. Have never seen that here. Enjoy! It's a delight to see your photos.
