Saturday Gardening and Puttering Thread, December 4![]() Hi, everybody! Is it really December already? Doing any decorating? Got any tips? Still gardening in December? Getting out in nature? Need some downtime? Well, we are not starting with "downtime", but maybe we can work toward some at the end of the post. Today, we are starting out with a garden and advanced puttering adventure related to a huge white oak tree: A huge branch fell off my oak tree in my back yard. The tree has to be over 200 years old. It's really big. Before: ![]() Video courtesy of CBD. Thanks: Wow. That was fast. I saw it fall, I was in shock. I thought it fell on my house. ![]() Thankfully no one was hurt. It would have killed someone. The hedge around the tree is at least 4 feet tall, maybe a little taller. ![]() It happened two weeks before I was hosting a charity luncheon so we had to rush to clean everything up ![]() After: ![]() What a project. Indoor/Outdoor Gardening From Mr. Jimm: This is an elephant ear plant that I had a friend help me dig up and move indoors from a semi-shaded spot in my garden this fall before the first hard freeze hit the Chicago suburbs. I bought it last spring and it was so pretty I didn't want to lose it over the harsh winter. Great, detailed project description, Mr. Jimm! And a beautiful plant. Outdoor Gardening Sowing Wildflowers Outdoors High Country Gardens recommends leaving perennials standing for the birds, and sowing hardy wildflowers over the snow. ![]() The Lasagna Gardening method makes sense to me for wildflowers. Suppress weeds with some layers of newspaper, add some weed-free soil, THEN sow your wildflower seeds, with or without snow. You could also sow other hardy seeds this way. Brave December Leaves The tree is completely bare of leaves except one branch in the upper right where about a dozen yellow leaves refuse to give up. Kinda cool. ![]() Grass still looks nice. Brave December Flowers From my cousin in Northern Utah - the one with geraniums in her basement. There were some Impatiens, too, which is really shocking. But they looked kind of ratty. They're tropical, after all. ![]() ![]() The famous Pat* still had Johnny Jump-Ups on Thanksgiving Weekend. Edible Gardening The photo in tonight's gardening thread inspired me to share a photo of this year's grape jelly. It was both beautiful and delicious! ![]()
An hour of relaxing forest images and music Put it on in the background sometime. Here are some additional autumn leaves, from another cousin: ![]() ![]() ![]()
