Gardening and Adventure Thread, May 25Happy May! The Horde is coming through with some great photos and information now that almost everyone is through with winter. First up, the dramatic opening of a night-blooming cactus: At night opening up . . . Fully open in the morning What gorgeous photos! Fascinating flower structure! We see some accomplished photography here on the Gardening Thread sometimes.
From a few days ago: Summer is almost here , as evidenced by the first fried green tomato sandwich of the season. For fried green tomatoes, you pick tomatoes while they are really green. They look tasty, but don't eat them raw. The variety 'Lemon Boy Hybrid' is recommended by some people. There are tomatoes that are green when ripe. They are not picked ripe for green fried tomatoes. How many in The Horde have had a Green Fried Tomato Sandwich? How do you prefer to make them? We had someone steal green tomatoes from our plants one year. Think it was for a traditional Mexican dish rather than for sandwiches, though. Container garden coming along. This is today's haul. Mint and basil also doing well. And I had a helper, which is nice. See today's Pet Thread for the helper. I see some peppers among the tomatoes there. What would you do with a harvest like this? These tomato plants are doing very well, considering that the containers are relatively small for tomato plants. Planting mix may make a difference. Maybe CBD can take some notes. Basil goes well with home-grown tomatoes. Community Landscaping PG&E tree work NorCal Sierra Foothills Lurker here. Must . . follow . . rules. I'm glad you didn't have to do that landscaping. They've been in our neighborhood, too. At least to warn people that they will be topping trees near power lines. They didn't show up when they said they would, though. Our electric bill certainly showed up. The County also placed some insect traps on some of our stone fruit trees to monitor for invasive insects. *** Somehow, this morning I missed this notice of military appreciation today that she also sent in. A trio of events! Nice for Memorial Day Weekend if you are in Northern California. Home Landscaping Found the sniper. . . Stealthy! Yet charming. Also wanted to send a picture of my Clematis Jackmanii. When the landscape guys came through in the fall to do some clean-up, they got rid of all of the ivy that was growing up the fence, and the Clematis was also taken out (even though I asked them not to). Good to know about the deciduous ivy. In parts of California, evergreen ivy is planted as a tall groundcover in some places. It attracts roof rats. Glad your clematis survived. It is lovely. Adventure Finding a leprechaun at Silly Mountain Tiny folk are everywhere. Gardens of The Horde Neal in Israel has sent in an update on spring plants. We are only including a few today. More later. Hibiscus: Not really a sign of spring, but looking stronger than previous thanks to fertilization and spring weather. Photo 1 with a patriotic background in honor of Independence Day. The Independence Day reminder fits in with our Memorial Day Weekend post, I think. More information on Neal's lobelia and violas later. I think they set off the photo above nicely. And the Amaryllis which made it through the winter look great, too. More later. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Previous Gardening Thread What has changed since our last post? Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, May 11. It was the day before Mother's Day. Wondering if anyone tried drowning slugs or snails in beer.
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.
