Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, June 3![]() Hi KT! They're beautiful. Does that purple one smell like grapes? ![]()
Hey KT, ![]() Sorry about the limbs. Remember that with peaches, the branchlets that bore fruit this year will not bear fruit (at the same spots at least) next year. You want to induce some new growth. Our fig tree is doing amazing this year. Not sure if it is from all the spring rain but we are getting some amazing figs off of it. ![]() Looks like you have some bird protection on a couple of those figs. The dragon fruit is flowering. Last year none of the flowers produced fruit so this year I am making like a bee and hand pollinating them. That is my paint brush loaded with pollen. I have 5 flowers and this is the first one open. So I am going to keep the paint brush with pollen until the next flower opens and give it a go. I have had luck hand pollinating our pear tree so hopefully this will work. ![]()
![]() The pepper plants are starting to give peppers again and I am off to make some fermented jalapenos with todays bounty of 30 jalapenos. Hope the rest of the horde is having as much fun in the garden right now as I am. Thanks! Our Midnight Snack tomatoes are starting to turn red. This is as of this morning. ![]() They look great! Waiting for a flavor report. So, from nothing to this big in just a couple days, and 2 in the jar have already pupated in the dirt-there were 7 and now only 5. ![]() ![]() Brave of you to save them. I've done it too . . . Gotta watch those plants carefully, or have a control plan . . . We let the artichoke bloom, just for fun! The second one is on the Annie apple; nice little spider with a really pretty web - - hope my pictures show it off. Nan in AZ ![]() ![]() ![]() Love the photos! That spider has a shadow! I wonder how many people know what artichokes look like when they bloom? Gardens of The Horde From Neal in Israel: Garden views: I've been thinking for some time that since you publish a gardening thread, I should send photos which show how the garden looks, as opposed to closeups of this or that plant. The closeups can look great, but it's really just the work of genetics/the good Lord, not of the gardiner. Problem is, it's harder to show in a photo what works in the garden. ![]() ![]() So interesting! Love the layout of the paths. Thanks for sending the Independence Day photo, too! Bottlebrush: One of the first signs of spring in my garden are the flowers on the bottlebrushes which we planted on the border of our back yard. ![]() ![]() Like the little visitor in the first photo, and the dramatic lighting. I am wondering if removing seed pods would lead to repeated bloom. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
