Tree Turtles

Hello Helen

Hard Times

The Summersweet shrubs have been blooming. They smell so nice!

You know I have been picking tomatoes but also been picking lots of cucumbers.

And my fall peas that I started are growing quickly.

Tree Turtles is pretty, but I really like the name, just makes much smile. Hard Times is absolutely gorgeous, love that color. I started to buy a summersweet shrub a couple of weeks ago, went home to see if I could fit it where I had in mind. Yep, would work, so I went back to get it. All gone! I've seen it on the internet sites before, but never local, shoulda known something new would go fast.
What size pots do you plant your peas in? I do love fresh peas, but I'm the only one that eats them. DH prefers the canned ones, won't even eat frozen.

Christine, one thing I like about Isaac is that the blooms fade & drop off nicely, not turning into a slushy mess like some. I'm quite fond of that daylily. That is a tradescantia behind it, Bilberry Ice. Sarah, I'm not big on yellows really, but I love the yellow shading of Isaac. Bill Norris just blooms & reblooms, what's not to love about that :) Caribbean Eye Spy hasn't multiplied a lot for me so I don't have lots of scapes, but it rebloomed last year quite late in the season. Hoping it continues to do that. I like my lilies, Rita, you know that :) I'm wondering if the flower is extra huge because it put all its energy into just that one bud, or if it is normally that big. Guess I should look it up & see if they tell. For a dwarf lily, the bloom is as wide as the plant is tall. Thanks Celeste! It has been a sunny day, hasn't it. I was just getting ready to go outside & do some yard work, but it has clouded up & started to rain. DARN :) Debra, I am always moving plants around, but hate to move the ones that are really doing well where they are. I also hesitate to move one that may not be doing well, thinking if I move it I might set it back even more. I'm much to indecisive. Thanks Marg!

Nice bright yellows, my favorite is Black Eyed Stella. I always get it confused with my Black Eyed Susan daylily which had its first bloom here today. Like your Vernal Tutone too, & those wonderful lilies!

I love the way Hello Helen looks with Apache War Dance. They make a gorgeous combo for the late garden. Two Janes looks like a bright, happy pink for the end of the season. I hope you will be posting a photo of Sellstation Sunset soon. That's the Dale Thoms late I'm most interested in adding. Most of my lates are finished. My two Davisson lates are still going strong, along with Final Touch, which is bud building very well, and Royal Jester. Debra

I really like the eye on Instant Celebration, & Flamenco Christmas looks like a wonderful red one. You had a photo of Lotus Position a couple of days ago, I always enjoy mine, such a big, tall flower. Mine has finished blooming now, but I was outside earlier between rains & saw some rebloom scapes on it!

Here are the rest of my peas in 20 inch pots. The ones shown in the post above are in 16 inch pots. I have two more pots that I don't have pictures of. So I planted a lot of peas for a fall crop. Most are Super snap types. There are also lots of Snow peas. The smallest pot has Green Arrow garden peas. Yes, you can tell. I do love peas.

I really like both Tree Turtles and Hard Times. Looks like your vegetable season will be a long one. Nothing like vegetables straight from your own garden.

Nice pics Rita. We've been eating cucumber salads for the past 2 weeks. I even bought some pickling cucumbers from the farm stand and made pickles. LOL. I so miss my garden this year but glad to see yours is going full steam ahead.

HARD TIMES has a stunning color. Very pretty.

Oh how I love fresh peas! I can eat them raw. We never see them in the markets down here. Makes me wonder if I could grow any. They are so much better than canned or frozen. When will they be ready to harvest? How long does it take from start to finish to have some to eat?

Thanks, everyone.

Nancy I am sure you can grow peas as a spring crop. Fall crop too if you get the timing correct but I can't help with timing in your zone. The thing to remember with peas is that they are a cool season crop.
