Saturday Gardening and Puttering Thread, July 18, 2020 [KT]![]() Hello! How are all you gardeners, putterers and dreamers among The Horde doing today. Today's short thread is dominated by nature lovers and putterers. The great hummingbird photo above is from PointyHairedBoss, who also sent in another of his great SloMo insect videos: If you're wondering about the flowers in the background of a few of the clips, I'm sorry but I won't be much help. That's the Missus' department. I'm only in charge of puttering. Edible Gardening and More Brent sends in the following great design. Yes, those are hummingbird feeders hanging from the frames. Fun! Thought folks might to see my design for a raised bed garden. I originally had four 4x4 foot beds 1 foot high, but when I added the covered greenhouse enclosures, it was hard to maneuver around, particularly when the covers were in place. So I reengineered things for four 14 x 2 foot beds, two feet high for less stooping, with a center aisle in each greenhouse. Yes, outside of arid climates, overhead sprinkling would probably not be the best choice for crops like, say, squash. Clever design! ![]() Bonus: NaughtyPine sent in some fun photos a while ago: Other things that flowered this past week but normally aren't considered flowers: rhubarb, chives, and a tiny strawberry in the mulch aka weed pile. See an insect? The strawberry looks like one of those new pink-flowered "ornamental edibles". Can you name any of the weeds? ![]() Tools redc1c4 IRL noticed that this catalog had a wide variety of gardening tools: Off hand, I went there because a catalog showed up at the house, and I went looking on their web page to see if they had something i was looking for, but it's more gardening type stuff than wood handling tools, which is what I needed Thanks! Sometimes a special tool can make a difference. Let us know if you do any interesting wood working. Nature Willow's Apprentice sent in this lovely photo. Can anyone ID the bird? ![]() PointyHairedBoss sent in some more nature photos from around the house, too: Mama snapping turtle was laying eggs at the edge of our driveway. This one is remarkable: Glad you didn't squish this baby: ![]() Dragonflies can be dramatic: ![]() Remarkable details above about the Sawyer Beetle: Over at Maggie's Farm, Bird Dog re-posted a thread on the Day of the Cicida. Gardens of The Horde We still have peaches. And Pluots are ripening. Anything going on in your garden?
