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!

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.
