Comments (38)The garden is slowly emerging from the snow, but it is pretty homely at this time of year, with just a little bit of green, and a lot of dirty snow and dead stalks that I didn't get cleared out last fall. By the front of the house From Early spring 2014 The large perennial bed along the old barn foundation From Early spring 2014 The big bed at the shop From Early spring 2014 I look at the vole tracks in the melting snow and cringe when I think of the damage they must have done, but I can't see enough to know yet. From Early spring 2014 The stream is in full flood from the rain (all our recent storms have been rain, even when MA residents got snow.) From Early spring 2014 From Early spring 2014 The big field doesn't look nearly as lovely during mud season with its piles of muddy manure and areas of slushy melt water. From Early spring 2014 I know that this messy stage will only last a week or two, and I am enjoying the daytime temperatures in the 50's....See MoreShow us your gardens - a photo thread - September 2013
Comments (37)Pixielou, I love your rudbeckia and wish I could get them to grow for me. The only time I ever successfully grew a patch of rudbeckia, my puppy (at the time) decided to uproot them and race around the yard with mouthfuls of the flowers! lol! I figured ok I'll just grow new ones next summer when he's past the chewing stage, but the rudbeckia never grew well again. Your pepper plant is cute too. I have friends who once were given a similar mushroom kit and reported that they harvested two crops from it. Not much is blooming here at the moment, but the foliage on the maples looks promising. If we would get a good hard frost, we might have some spectacular colors in a week or two. This was taken from a clearing in the woods behind our house (looking down on the house). Just little touches of orange and red so far....See MoreShow us your gardens - a photo thread - March 2015
Comments (31)Bill, Here's hoping your recuperation will be accompanied by warm Spring weather that will allow you to sit in your garden. Get well soon. Since Houz doesn't support Flickr, I've decided to bypass it and just upload jpegs from my desktop. Galanthus Blewbury Tart is the only thing blooming in my garden. I don't even have any crocuses showing. They're all under the snow. Sedum Angelina, still in her winter colors, but at least snow free. The damage that is emerging as the snow melts is considerable. Small trees and shrubs have loads of torn branches. The conifers have their lower branches still covered and bent. This is a detail from Thuja 4Ever Gold, which actually has had its best color this winter. I often bring in a few potted Hostas and put them in a window in order to get them to bloom a little earlier than usual. This is Designer Genes, one of the best with a yellow and red combination. No green on this plant. We're supposed to get some snow melt over the next few days. It's almost April for goodness sake. Steve...See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A Photo Thread - July 2018
Comments (19)Nothing exotic here, just the stalwarts reappearing on schedule. Garden phlox in the Phlox Protection Zone. There's Grenadine Dream, Wendy House, and Purple Kiss in there. These are all medium height phlox and bloom before the tall ones. The rambling rose in the background is fading. I saw a woodchuck a few weeks ago but it doesn't seem to have noticed the phlox, hopefully because of the fence and the soapwort. The woodchuck was eating birdseed on the ground which is fine with me - better to eat birdseed than phlox. The daylily Frans Hals is blooming in several locations, here next to a Bosnian pine and an American Revolution daylily (and a soapwort). An inherited No-ID daylily is blooming. and Corky is still opening. Hemerocallis 'Pardon Me' has been around for a while. And Hosta 'Blue Angel' is still blooming, getting bigger every year. I still have late daylilies in bud that won't bloom for a while yet. And late garden phlox (woodchuck-permitting). Lilies are in bud, waiting for whatever lilies wait for. Claire...See More
