Saturday Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, March 11Hi, everybody! We were under a flash flood watch yesterday, but it never happened. How's your weather? Above, a beautiful blossoming tree from fd. Maybe a redbud. This is what it looked like a week earlier: And from Diogenes, a crocus. I guess better late than never. The exterior markings are beautiful. I expect that it has opened up since the photo was taken. Love those brave little flowers.
Celery plants started. Onions, Shallots and Pak Choi started. Seems like I never have enough summer so I wanted to get an early start in my greenhouse, zone 6A. S.Lynn Lots of celery! From the comments a couple of weeks ago, Growing potatoes from True Seed. It's a real treasure hunt to pull seed-grown potatoes, as the diversity is amazing. When you plant tubers, you get exactly the same thing you planted. With seeds, you are playing the lottery (but with much better success)! Gardening Bleg I'm Beverly, an infrequent poster at Ace of Spades. But I read it daily. What a great project you have ahead of you! A few ideas: 1. Stick to annuals the first year, until you find out what you have in terms of soil, pests, weeds, sun exposure, etc. in the beds. 2. Consider solarization in one or more of the beds during the summer if you find you have lots of weeds. 3. Check with your local extension agency about adapted varieties in your area. Any other pointers for Beverly?
From rdohd: KT, I have been traveling over the last two weeks and I took this picture on the road side in Coweta county, Georgia. The wisteria has been blooming over the last couple of weeks and this was one of several I saw in full regalia that also had an area nearby where I could pull over and take a picture. Wisteria are stunningly elegant even in the most unkempt state. They are one of the few pleasures of my travels. Wisteria grows! Gardens of The Horde January & February were mostly mild in the East so spring got off to an early start. My witch hazel is in its 3rd week of bloom, though the hellebores were actually the first to bloom. Early color and fragrance! Nice close-up, dated Feb. 17 Hellebores and crocus go well together Nice! Garlic! Another sign of spring is the first DC cherry blossom forecast on March 1st. (Or try this).They're calling for an early bloom, with peak bloom starting around March 22nd. If we are cooler in normal in March, that might delay the start of peak bloom. Interesting photos at the link showing stages of bud and bloom. Thanks, badgerwx. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
