Assuming they even survive, I’ll be dead by the time they amount to anything, but they were free, and even the biggest sequoia began as a tiny stick.

I was too tired to write anything last night, but I did a little yard tour after work, and found these. A phlox that the deer missed. A volunteer spring beauty in the bed near the phlox. Sure…I plant some, and then I get a volunteer. I also saw a few leaves from the spring […]
Jerusalem artichoke is alive. I wouldn’t have worried about a native, but it got pretty dry last summer, and it was a new addition, so I wondered. I didn’t take a photo, but I think the Radio Red salvia made it, too. Fingers crossed!
I worked my arse off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but this is all the gardening I have to show for it. Ten tiny jewelweed seedlings, parked in the bird pool until I make their floaties.
One step and then another… Rain held off just long enough for me to finish.
It’s kind of early, but I couldn’t resist, so I got a flat of Salvia for the MLBs. I’ll bring it inside if it gets really cold, but I ME, as long as it doesn’t freeze, this stuff is okay. While I was waiting for the haze of fumes from clear coating my office furniture […]
C brought me some today, and as soon as I got home, I planted it in spots amongst the rocks around the pond. I just used the cheap potting soil I’d got for Cliffie’s Walstad tank; I don’t want fertilizer runoff in the pond (already enough algae in there).
I did a lot indoors this weekend, but I spent time outdoors, too. Nearly 5h of it was because some dingus 40 years ago chose not to reach down and pull a bush honeysuckle seedling that was growing very close to an osage-orange tree. I’d tried poisoning it, but it had been cut so many […]
Buchheit had miniature daffy-down-dillies on sale yesterday. Virginia bluebells are starting to bloom. More hyacinths are never unwelcome. Yellow and orange are slow, but coming along.
It’s been cold and kind of yucky lately, but that hasn’t stopped Parview’s flowers! The mystery flowers that didn’t bloom last year and have buds that look “onionish” are… Narcissus! Actually double-bloom narcissus. I kind of wish they were single because I like those best, but I’ll take pretty, free flowers however they come! Some […]
