Spring Garden Scenes, Part Two
Comments (14)Thanks everbody for your kind comments. It means a lot coming from you folks, whose gardens I admire greatly. Matt, my 'Walnut Glen' receives around 4-5 h direct sun, and in the spring my plant is a very bright shade of blue approaching gold. It has not yet started to display the characteristic gold frosting. Will, the plant growing in the rock is a sempervivum. It amazes me how it manages to survive, especially over our Z6 winters. I dropped it into that crevice some 4 years ago and no subsequent maintenance whatsoever. I included a few more close-ups below. Dan, I've been happy with 'Autumn Moon's performance here since I previously fried an A.s. 'Aureum' in the same spot. I've added another view of this pairing below. A few more...

Comments (102)Jeanette, so glad to hear the mascotts are both resting safely in the infirmary. I see that we can't send any more of these guys out on road trips. they must not be as tough as old nuts the squirrel... though he did get a bit beat up in his travels too. I have been reading magsfrom the box that Remy sent and need to send thanks for the goodies that were included in the box. The special fall Country Living Gardener is terrific is beautiful with so many good articles and the sunflowers on the front cover. Extra special, thanks. Peanut butter kisses are favorites. My brother worked for years for the company that makes them and they always bring happy memories. MMmmmthanks Remy, the watch is so pretty. Thank you so much. My watches are so totally functional and utilitarian it will be a treat to wear something Pretty for a change. Sue, did you make the soap? I want to make some too and have some questions. It sure smells good. I love stuff that smells good. The garden stake and pink glads will go out front in the spring. and the thank you cards are both attractive and practical. Love the old timey wheelbarrow and wish I could find one for my yard. What a treasure that would be. There are also recipe cards and stickers.... hope I didn't miss anything but there were a lot of goodies especially considering how much good reading material was in there too. I appreciate the Green Scene mags as they are close enough to give me ideas of things to plant and places to visit. I've been reading those and enjoying them a lot. I might decide to join PHS myself. When the birdie that is at Jeanettes finds her way home that will be the end of this swap at least until after Christmas. I figure most of us will be pleanty busy from now to then. Thanks everyone for playing. This magazine RR is one of my favorite GW activities. BB...See MoreJanuary in my 2021 hosta garden
Comments (28)Snow falling and in the 20's here. Love your hellebores. I've gotten more last year since I love how they look in the garden--however, some do have a habit of growing vigorously and I've had to divide and send some to a niece. Funny thing about those 30 foot long leashes--we have some owners on our street who have them. Unfortunately, they do let their dogs wander up to our house and yes leave a mess. One guy has three golden retrievers who get their leashes tangled since they are so long. It never seems to bother him that the dogs are wandering all over our yard, even when I am out there working in the yard. Some people just don't care. Our dogs were always on shorter leashes. Anyway, love your flowers, they look so bright!...See MoreSeptember 2021 in my hosta garden
Comments (31)Utog, yours are looking terrific! I have been gone from my house for a week, so I can I can imagine what my yard looks like now. I will be preparing for winter, cutting back and drenching. debra...See Moredavidrt28 (zone 7)
