Show Us Your Landscape/Gardens - A Photo Thread - Jan & Feb 2018
Comments (57)Thanks Babs. I sometimes see a few scales even now, and I just pick them off with a Q-tip with a little alcohol. But when it's outdoors, when it's warm, I actually really blast the whole tree with the garden hose. I go all over, under, around etc. with quite a strong spray of water. I hold each leaf and make sure it's clean. Really not that hard to do, and only once is fine. It really helps to remove debris, scales etc. The plant seems to enjoy it!...See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A Photo Thread - June 2018
Comments (51)Nekobus, I think that this is its third season in the ground here. My texensis is a bit rangier than many hybrid clematis and the nursery says 10-12’. Mine has gotten close to that, but it is difficult to judge since it climbs a 5’ trellis and then rambles across and through some shrubs. I know it had a relatively long bloom of several weeks, but not a lot at any one time. Unfortunately, I only took photos early in the season around now, but was gone for a good chunk of July and August, so I don’t remember exactly how long it bloomed for. I will try to keep better track this year....See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A Photo Thread - August 2018
Comments (27)Suzabanana, you look to have a lot blooming right now. I envy your ability to grow crape myrtles, and yours is lovely. IME the goldenrod will spread via shallowly buried runners and the seed will float around, so I usually cut the seed head to reduce weeding, but you could cut them and place them on the ground where you want more. Your globe thistle looks like globe thistle, Echinops. My garden is looking tired and unkempt right now, but I have taken a few photos, and I will look to see what is in bloom now while it is still cool. We have had just a few nice sunsets this summer, perhaps because this month it has been raining so much that we sometimes don’t see much afternoon sun....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - March 2022
Comments (25)A little chilly and very overcast out there this morning, but my DH assured me yesterday we were due for some sun today. Looking at the forecast, for sure, by 11am sun is out, clouds are gone and stay that way the rest of the afternoon. BUT - looks like we are in for about 5 days of cloudy after that with some rain coming in Tuesday night into Wednesday. So, guess if I need to move anything, this is the time to do it. We could use a little rain too. I haven't even ventured out there to see the impact of the cold snap. Soon as it warms up a little we're outside for a change. Pruning roses today - but we're taking our time with the clean up. Trying to recover from a tough week. I don't know, what do people do who don't have gardens to help with recovery? [g] Babs, family disruptions, hoping they are behind you and you are able to enjoy the garden season. I'm hoping we can do the same. We'll see. Cold snap killing early plants and bulbs....well. I'm going to take a good look around out there today and see what suffered and what came through with flying colors. From my window I can see a patch of snowdrops still blooming that don't seem to have skipped a beat. So more of those in the fall if I can manage it. Scilla seems to usually do really well and boy does it reseed and spread. And no critters seem to bother either of those. When I looked out the door the day after the coldest morning, the Hellebore I could see was all bent over to the ground, but I see it seems to have come back up. Happy Spring - enjoy the weekend!!...See Morespedigrees z4VT
