April 2021 in my hosta garden
Comments (117)utog..another silhouette pic!..this one's great too!.. your garden's looking good!..we had 2 inches of rain Wed night..I had standing water (common in our high water table neighborhood) in my usual spots..so I didn't walk around in back today.. my still unclipped ratty winter foliage on an Autumn fern..they're slow for me.. the Japanese Painted ferns look fresher than the Autumns beside them..maybe because the Japanese Painted ferns die back?.. n2hostas..my green ginger is a good spreader..plant it with some space..but my craziest groundcover is this Lamium galeobdolon..can you see the variegated plant behind this bleeding heart?..that's it.. miles..there was a post a long time ago where someone used a wide shallow container for mini's and had success.. when I clean, weed and top with compost these plants will look prettier.....See MoreSeptember 2021 in my hosta garden

Comments (54)Kim, let me know how that works for you. We also got a lot of "french fry" sized sweet potatoes. I'm not a fan of sweet potato fries, but Tom likes them a lot. I mentioned to Rick that I should make all of those small ones into fries. Great minds...right? Larry, I've not done anything yet with my sweet potatoes. I won't this coming week, but will put them on the menu for the following week. Then, of course, the week after is Thanksgiving and I'll more-than-likely make a sweet potato casserole. We've so far dodged a frost or freeze. Moni, I've not started asparagus from seed, but they sprout all over my property. I think that's what is sprouting. They get pulled or mowed if they're out of their two raised beds, though. Danny, thanks for sharing your pictures. I love to hike but my feet are so messed up that I'm afraid to try much of a hike any longer. I don't know what else to do about my feet. I've been to a podiatrist and have inserts for my shoes and buy expensive, orthopedic type of shoes. Thank goodness those are somewhat attractive now-a-days. lol I'm not overweight, but am trying to lose a bit more. (I'm down to about 121 so it's harder to lose much more without extremes.) So, weight shouldn't be too much of a problem for my feet. Super frustrating, but we all have frustrations, I guess, right? Last night, Rick pruned all of his super hots and took half to his house to try to keep them alive over the winter. There's more in the greenhouse, though. I can't afford to heat a greenhouse so I'm pretty sure the peppers won't survive the winter in there. We have a "big trash" pick up coming to our house next week, so we're pulling out all the junk and sorting through it. Tom worked today and we have dinner plans with friends tonight, so we'll have to hustle to get it all to the "curb" by Monday. (We don't have curbs out here. lol) It's gonna feel good to get all that junk out of the shop. It will be good to be organized somewhat. We had it almost organized until the bathroom remodel. If we were in town, most of the stuff we're putting to the "curb" would probably be picked up by individuals. Once we get the junk out, I'll let Juno out of her enclosure and she will have the entire 1200 sq ft shop to roam around in at night. She's doing pretty well with her new arrangement. I bring her in during the evening and we cuddle and all. She's usually ready to go back to her spot around 10 or so. I brought the succulents indoors last night and put the citrus tree in the shop. We'll bring it to the house soon. I need help carrying the pot. Kim, the fig tree that you gave to me has grown, but just recently lost it's leaves. It has been up-potted. Do you think it should be brought inside? Do you think it died? I realize they probably lose their leaves in the fall. Personally....life is a lot right now. Jobs, friends, and we have some crisis in our extended family that really is just so sad and my heart is broken. All of this makes me feel like I should have done more, known more, been more. It really is hard to be everything to everyone. I feel like people are often disappointed that I can't be who they imagined me to be. Or are disappointed that I can't give them the attention and time that they need. It's a lot. Can't believe a new week starts tomorrow already! I was just having a cheerful lunch with my Mom on Sunday....and it's been nearly a week. Seems like a couple of days. Who knew that our lives would be turned upside down. Life was easier last Sunday....See Moreundertheoaksgardener7b
