Saturday Gardening Thread: August? [KT]Hello, gardeners and those who like to eat garden produce. We happen to have a lot of pink things today. Refreshing for August, I think. The photo above is from 40 miles north: Pink Ladies I think this is an Amaryllis belladonna. AKA 'Naked Lady' because it has no leaves when it blooms. The leaf you see probably belongs to another plant. They can multiply in place in California gardens, even in dry locations. So best not to move them. If they need to be moved, you should maybe move them while they are in bloom. They are "dormant" then. Oddly. Not setting seed, not making leaves. Le Garde Vieux photographed the Eastern version, probably a Lycoris. He is in Northern Alabama. Notice that the petals are not evenly spaced around the center of the flower, unlike the Amaryllis above: Surprise flowers The Edible Garden Last week, Cumberland Astro was asking for advice on protecting his apple harvest, most likely from racoons. 40 miles north had sent in photos of a protective set-up for grapes, though I'm not sure it would keep racoons out. The grapes are starting to ripen here Installation: FAQ: 1) Does this take a long time to do? Yes, but you can create the cage in the shade. Grapes are looking nice this week. Still sour: Informative. He also got those little white spiders in his grapes that eat leaf hoppers. Nice! Kindltot finally sent in some photos of his Three Sisters planting: I have planted scarlet runner beans, indian corn, and sweet meat squash. I also have a volunteer sunflower.
My favorite aunt passed away this week after a long and productive life. When she lived in Clairemont, California, she shared a lemon tree on the property line of her front yard with her neighbor. In back, the swimming pool had a pump nearby in case of wildfire. Shake roofs everywhere in that wildfire-prone area. She had a big Fuerte avocodo tree in back and a "Strawberry tree" that bloomed in fall and winter. She had a big rose garden. This was her favorite rose. First Prize. Ladyhobbit, who is usually a lurker, sent in the following impressive plant: Joe Pye "weed" is a native flower blooming right now in my area (Pennsylvania), but this specimen is actually in my garden. It is a favorite of mine for several reasons: its spectacular size and beauty and the way it attracts bees and butterflies. I've attached a photo of the whole planting for an idea of the size. I've always been intrigued by those big "weeds". Update: Speaking of bees and butterflies, Illiniwek send in the following update on the habitat parts of his farm. Fun! The unattended deer resistant patch is ragged but interesting, Queen Anne's Lace invading, but it looks OK. Queen Anne's Lace feeds pollinators, too. Milkweed is plentiful, and monarchs are showing up, especially on the red clover. Can you find it? The fawns are growing ... still have the nice spots. It is so nice that Illiniwek has a place set up for fawns to visit, so we can see them not eating our own gardens.
