Hydrangea Endless Summer "Summer Crush"
Comments (62)Is it a heated garage? Did you water it while dormant? Sorry @luis_pr for the delay in replying. The garage is not heated (the coldest I observed inside the garage was -12 C/10 F while it was -22 C/-8 F outside) and the only water it got was from 'clumps' of snow that I would put on it every once and awhile through the winter. So here it was on May 17: And today, about 6 weeks later: I can tell you that it looks lots larger than it actually is, but clearly it is producing flowers (on strictly new wood)....See MoreFavourite, versatile summer side 2023 edition
Comments (9)Reporting in…It took a few days to gather the ingredients, the full exact recipe salad was made this morning. I figured it would feed DH and I for a few days. People stopped in, I offered, they ate and loved it. Our daughter especially loved it. Really loved it. Then I mentioned the anchovies and she almost devolped ’the vapors’. Overly dramatic reaction, funny though for us who love her. Great dish. Thanks Thanks....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - September 2023
Comments (18)About the Tithonia, I KNOW! I check every day. Not even a bee on it, and there are NO chemicals or anything nearby. I forgot about the root beer smell on some Agastache. Going to crush some leaves and see if I can get a whiff! This is a GREAT blog post from Hayefield about Japanese Burnet and what to plant it with. It’s the one that got me started. Now I notice all the smaller ones and I am ready to go down the burnet rabbithole! Hayefield Japanese Burnet post Some more first-year bloomers: I thought all of these seedlings had died and mistook them for a type of carnation, but I am SO pleased to see I was wrong! These are Heleniums, which have FINALLY survived the slugs and become plants. My wintersowing germination is excellent, but I swear I love over 50% of what germinates before it can get established, mostly from slugs. I’m very happy to finally have Helenium survive. I may have to move it from this location, but I’m very happy to cater to its needs! Sterntaler coreopsis is now blooming. I must admit, the burgundy center is not my favorite since I am not a fan or bronze and burgundy in the garden, either in flower or foliage. (The burnet above leans more towards purple, so it’s OK.). But, I’m glad to have them anyway. It seems one of my Heliopsis is neither Summer Nights or Burning Hearts, but is the standard. Another very welcome surprise! Here’s a good shot of my secondary growth from the seed pods with their own buds. It’s just so weird and Intersting! And this lungwort and brunerra area has LOVED the moisture. I lost many brunerra when it was first being established, but for the past three years it has finally settled in and even reseeding all over with both brunerras and lungwort. It’s so nice to see the variegated/frosty brunneras reseed. I think it helped when I put a HUGE rock up at the driveway edge so the plowman would stop destorying it. Every plowman should be required to tend gardens by hand in the summer, in my dream world. And three spring/early summer bloomers are reblooming, both viola, nepeta, and dianthus. And, lastly, I love River Oats seedheads. They are still green now, and are beautiful in the morning moisture....See MoreVeggie Tales >>> November 2023
Comments (15)Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We had roasted carrots and parsnips from the garden with our feast. Recently pickled beets were supposed to be part of it, too, but they were forgotten and remained in the refrigerator. Oh, well, they will be a great new addition to the leftovers tomorrow. We have had a warmer than normal autumn and the garden is better tended than some years. Most is covered by a layer of shredded leaves. Garlic is planted, although a few weeks latter than I'd prefer. I was gone a lot in October and was sick when I got home and didn't do much for awhile. I'm sure the garlic will be okay, maybe just a bit smaller. Some carrots, parsnips, and beets are still in the ground. They should be okay for awhile. Might be a weird cabbage or kohlrabi if I looked around some. Potatoes are stored, herbs and garlic are being used, and a couple small cabbages are refrigerated. There are veggies in the freezer, too. Time to relax and enjoy the last days of autumn....See MoreCA Kate z9
