Cabin Fever Winter Garden-Related Projects
Comments (19)OMG Camp, I can see this graphically in detail. Bummer. Bamboo broke my opal, not my teeth. Wintertime is not a time for me to staY inside. We have a different kind of winter. No bugs and no snakes and no 100º+ so heavy garden chores are much more pleasant. It is time to do my woods restoration.. That means chainsawing thinning out of control Mountain ash Juniper. Creation of slash berms on slopes, wildlife piles, protect young red oak, madrone and escarpment cherry trees. clean out catalog nests in bird boxes. take photos and create a long report for the county to keep my tax exempt. I have been working on it for 4 days. Tomorrow I need to complete the report and get it to my overlords. I live in fear till it is done. I did get some seeds planted the other day....See MoreWhat's blooming in your winter garden
Comments (38)Myal, I did live there from 2004-2006, and I think the 2005 summer was exceptionally warm by prevailing standards. Still, it is a brief summer between chilly spring and summers. It is not just London, the entire northern Europe never gets quite warm and sunny for long enough Copenhagen, Oslo, Vienna, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague.. I could go on, from first hand experience. Go a bit lower, Barcelona, Lisbon, much better...But hey, I come from Delhi in India so of course....But I do not wish Delhi summers on anyone, and they are getting hotter with each passing year....See MoreANY HIPS LEFT IN YOUR WINTER GARDENS?
Comments (44)I had 'Bonica' for years (how it ever arrived in the garden I don't know; sometimes I think plants grow legs and just walk in) and used to call it my "Baskin-Robbins rose" on account of the pink blooms and orange hips on the plant at the same time. Off the top of my head, and not considering how long the hips last, R. moschata has nice hips, and its putative offspring 'Dupontii', a large, noble rose, has excellent ones, set in large clusters and softly colored in a pinkish tone. R. helenae sets tons of little hips. R. rugosa has large fat red-orange hips, tangy and flavorful. R. canina, abundant lacquered red oval hips, though the plant itself is not ornamental enough for the garden, in my opinion. Bourbon 'Louise Odier' sets generous hips if left un-deadheaded, orange-red, large, oval, with persistent black sepals; in my garden it's part of a brief but pleasant autumnal display, in company with a yellow-variegated euonymus and the flaming fall color of a crape myrtle....See MoreWinter Garden Pictures - Lets See Them
Comments (28)I sometimes watch it but not in the mode for anything 'super' today LOL. Snow on the boughs of my Redwood 'Soquel'. The plain old American holly berries have been eaten by the birds but so far they are skipping these Highclere Holly 'James G Esson' ones. Fine with me, and Doug Tallamy LOL. (speaking of Tallamy, anybody know what happened to sam_md? It's well known that the 'real' IDs of various people on this forum are known by some members. Perhaps he has departed this mortal coil...if so, we thank him for his contributions to horticulture and our forum) An Abies alba in the foreground with a much larger Abies firma in the background. I will be moving this and another Abies alba from an area they cannot stay any longer. One might be for sale - serious enquiries only. Msg me. I will definitely replant at least one elsewhere on my property. 'Wisley Supreme' with cicada damage still visible on stems....See MoreHU-422368488
