Saturday Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, May 20

Hi, everybody! Don't you wish your garden was in a setting like the one above?

Sierra Foothills Lurker here; forgot to send you this picture taken May 6th after last rain. Don't know if it qualifies as gardening but was taken from near our raised garden bed. In the lower right corner is the top of my huge rosemary. Maybe that qualifies it for gardening.

We love to see the nature that surrounds gardens, too!

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By

Grapes are getting bigger as are the crabapples. And the fig going to town!

Almost looks like early monsoon rains are here! Nan in AZ

Wow. Lots of rain in the desert this year!

Ah, Nature

Baby birds about a month ago. They build nests in this same spot every year. Then I clean it out every year.

What a good guy.

Here's an unusual bit of information. Do you have oaks?

From By-Tor:

She's back- right on schedule.

She's cute, considering . . .

Puttering

21 ways to upcycle wood pallets in the garden.

Some of these look more promising than others. There's a link with detailed instructions for raised beds.

Here's another idea: squirrel deterrence:

Have you got other ideas for rodent deterrence or using wood pallets?

Adventure

Wanna try some I.Ds?

Hey K.T.,

I live on Oahu. Thought you could post some of these. Don't know what most are...

Gorgeous. More later.


Gardens of The Horde

Hey KT,

A neighbor gave me an amaryllis bulb at Christmas time. A few weeks ago I stuck it in the ground at the edge of my backyard near the common area bordering the creek in my development.

Suddenly there are three red trumpet shaped blossoms! Who knows how long it will survive but I'm glad I did the experiment.

Your gamble paid off! Beautiful.

Another cereus bloom, spikes of purple flowers on the Vitex (a chaste tree), butterfly bush bloom. Nan in AZ

Week in Review

What has changed since last week's thread? Saturday Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, May 13


Any thoughts or questions?

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
