Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, June 17Hi, everybody! Still spring where you are, or has summer hit? I love these flowers: Hi, Thanks for the great photos! Go with this one, I think: NorCal Sierra Foothills Lurker here; Beautiful lilies! It would be nice if more of them survived to bloom time. The foothills pose some challenges for gardeners and for stewards of wild plants: My poor old wagon is in need of some tlc. Awww. Poor wagon. Well, you have all summer.
Well, and a few other things. From Grimmy/Intrepid AoS Liason, who has been clearing some land. What an adventure! As usual, I planted way too many trees, shrubs, and vegetables this spring, and with Iowa having VERY little rain over the last few weeks, I've been busy wandering the acreage watering everything on a nearly daily basis. The spiky plants in the raised bed are a variety of asparagus I grew from seed a couple years ago. I assume at some point they'll magically transform into something more asparagus? Like the OTHER picture, with one lone stalk from a discounted root pack I got from the local greenhouse's end of season sale. Planted 5 or 6...and only this one showed any life. Don't give up hope. Asparagus likes lots of nourishment. We have a lot of wild grape in the yard, too, and they've grown up along some of the mulberry trees, so we get an interesting combination of fruits. These grapes are very young, but good to see what's coming up. While mowing the yard, a fledgling cardinal (?) kept running to (and UNDER) my riding mower! I had to stop it, turn it off, and shoo it away! It finally hid in some tall weeds at the base of a large tree. I set out my new smoker one morning, planning to clean it and smoke stuff later in the day. When "later" came around, I saw our little frog friend hanging out. Probably a nice, warm spot for cold-bloods. Puttering
Gardens of The Horde I can't resist sending another picture of my Carefree Beauty rose, but the real point of the picture is to show my perennial herb garden. I have mint (in a buried pot), thyme, chives, rosemary, Greek oregano, and sage. If you look hard you can also see a few garlic plants peeking out of the foliage - German hard-neck. (may4a) The roses and herbs are great together! The soft neck garlic is a commercial crop around here. Looks different! I wonder how similar this is to the ones our Arizona correspondents grow? Hope you get lots of Monarchs. Do you know the variety of your milkweed? Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
