Saturday Gardening and Puttering Thread, June 12![]() Hi, everybody! Did anybody catch the remarkable photo in last night's ONT of the 100 year old rhododendron with the woman who planted it? Did you recall the earlier warning about rhododendrons in the comments last week, here? We had a cool few days, for June, here in the Central San Joaquin Valley and we got some garden clean-up done. But the heat is returning. The forecast is for 112 degrees next week. Fun! The commercial melons coming into our markets have been great. Some local strawberries got a reprieve. Don't think they'll make it through next week. How has your weather been? The Orchid photo above is from Keena. A little late here but, SD Botanic Garden had a spectacular orchid exhibit in April where a different curator displayed their huge collection of flowers each week. We went the last week it was there and these are just a few photos from a truly beautiful exhibit! More Orchids ![]() ![]() Critters in the Yard By-Tor sent in this photo of a tough-guy kitty, not his. He scared off a bird the kitty was stalking, and you can see that the kitty was not pleased. ![]() Have you wondered if there was any follow-up to that surprising video of the brave woman protecting her dogs from bears? ![]() Edible Gardening I think these are edible sunflowers, anyway: Thanks for posting the picture of my sunflower seedlings last week. Here they are, planted and growing in the hot Indiana sun. They are about knee high right now. ![]() Note my dog Grrr is rolling around in the background. He also likes the hot Indiana sun. We have a lot of cicadas here right now and the sunflower leaves make a great landing pad! ![]() More Orchids ![]() ![]() ![]() Gardens of The Horde For the Horde: ![]() The photo of it in the chair shows how huge these flowers are, the size of a cabbage, and sweetly fragrant. ![]() Glad you got to move back, Beverly! More photos from Iris, whose um, Iris photos we posted earlier: Hi! I mostly lurk on the garden thread - when I read it is usually after the thread is posted. I love seeing the pictures of the amazing horde gardens and am very glad that amateurs like me are also welcomed! ![]() Looks like that work is paying off. ![]() But there are always challenges, right? You can see how dark it is by the picture from the porch at the back of the plants - they grew forward several feet to find sun. We did not prune for many years so I am slowly trying to return the bushes to their location and get some fullness in the plants. My plan is to fill that area with ferns as I wait for the laurel to grow back. I have tried to add interest by different size, shape, and color of leaves. My husband was a rock collector so the various rocks are from his expeditions. I mixed in river rocks with his prettier rocks to have enough for the edging. ![]() The ways those bushes lean into the sun IS remarkable. I keep the roaming bands of deer off the hostas via various deer repellants - trying garlic this year. ![]() Anybody got a "keeping deer off the hostas" tip for Iris? The story of gardening in music? You've been tryin' to get ahead, but you're losin' ground . . . If you would like to send information and/or photos for the Saturday Gardening Thread, the address is: ktinthegarden Include the nic by which you wish to be known when you comment at AoSHQ, Another Orchid ![]() | Recent Comments
