How's your Garden? and a Couple Pics from my Garden.

Boo, I grew Cherokee Trail of Tears a couple years ago. They did stay pretty short through most of July, and then they took off like Rockets! I got a nice crop out of them. I've been getting rain, but thankfully not too much. I'm lucky with the weather most of the time. Sometimes the patterns go haywire though, and I get bizarre/bad weather. I live in the lane between the two lake patterns. Often times you can be at my house and see the line of clouds to the north and south, and have it clear here. So unless a storm or cloud cover is massive, I miss the brunt of it. Of course when it is a really dry summer, I'm talking to the cloud begging them to move over this way! Remy

Such a Flirt is a very Nice Pink. I can see why it tempted you.......I'm fascinated by the color of Sunset Mesa. It looks different in your picture then on the database, but I can see how the color would be changeable. I hope you post more of it. Unique............

Darlow's Enigma from Angel Gardens
Q
Comments (3)
I have a Darlow's Enigma in mostly shade under various neighbors' trees and it thrives there. It has been a regular bloomer under those conditions and needs absolutely no care beyond carefully reaching in to prune out the small canes it sheds from time to time. If Compassion is happy, Darlow's Enigma should have no trouble. It is happy to grow toward the light and can be either a massive standalone bush or a large bush that sends some canes along a climbing structure. It's not really a climber in the sense of Compassion so don't expect it to climb an arch or something like that. Just don't plant it somewhere that you're going to be walking a lot. Its thorns are legendary and vicious with barbs on every conceivable part of the plant. It's rock solid hardy and disease free as far as I can tell from a safe distance :) The only issue about planting this time of year is getting it enough water to establish well, particularly given root competition from the maple tree. If you can get it regular water it may be fine to plant. Potting it up for a few weeks to acclimate to your climate is always a good thing and by the end of August hopefully the heat will decrease and water be more regular in rain. Cynthia

Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you!

Have you seem the movie "Young Frankenstein"?

It's fun to dump food on a plate in a certain way; all of a sudden, you realize, "It's alive! It's alive!"

Yes - how about that coffee table book ......

I harvested the last of my ginger root yesterday. Doesn't look as good as your pics and does not even look edible in this pic! Here is what I dug a couple weeks ago. Drinking a cup of ginger tea this morning.

Looks absolutely amazing, as usual.

But what do chrysanthemum greens taste like?
And why am I surprised that you are eating them?

I thought that nothing you do would surprise me anymore,
But somehow or another,
It just seems like these greens would be kind of bitter.
They sure do look good, though!

Thank you Teresa. Those ginger look very good. I bought some young ginger to pickle for sushi, but they turn out kind of fibery. I have to find room in my garden to grow some myself.

Thank you Rusty. Those are the eating kind of chrysanthemum greens. Chrysanthemum greens are very popular vegetable in many parts of the world. They are delicious and have many medicinal benefits.

What is going on. Do you live in Hawaii or something? It is November for gosh sakes. My garden packed it up long ago. I realize New York has had some warm winters of late, but I thought this winter was normal, i.e. cold and snowy, over most of the country?
