Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, April 5![]() Hi Katy Thanks. They look wonderful in that setting!
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By It is the first of April and we may only have one or two cold fronts left in the season. While still cool enough we are getting some yard work done. Mrs. Rdo was out cleaning the plant beds this past weekend and sent me a pictures of one of our pineapples in bloom. They are quite pretty and it will be very sweet when ripe. We will have to gauge the perfect time to collect it, otherwise it is just more squirrel food. ![]() I can hardly wait to hear a taste report. It’s that time of year here. Miner’s lettuce is everywhere and the picture is right out my front door. I grew up knowing it was edible but curiously have never tried it. The only wild plant we always tried to gather and eat is water cress for a wilted salad with hot bacon grease. With a pan of cornbread, oh yum! Be brave, taste the miner's lettuce! A fascinating little plant. Concerning water cress, from some locations, we were warned not to gather it because of the danger of liver flukes from sheep. ![]() ![]() Hi Katy ![]() I love the boiler. Thrilled that the syrup is turning out so well this year. Ah, Nature Spring is amazing this year! 40 Miles North ![]() More later. Those irises would look good with the witch hazel below if they were growing in the same climate. Gardens of The Horde ![]() I was sorry to hear about your stroke but am very glad that you're recovering so well. I had my own health problems in 2024, which is why I didn't send any pictures. My garden also suffered from neglect but I'll be trying to whip it into shape this year. ![]() Sorry I missed your photos until today. Also sorry about your health problems last year and wishing you and your garden the best in the coming year! Love the witch hazel and the Ice Follies! Well, actually, I love all the photos. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Week in Review Miss something in last week's thread? Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, March 29 More information on the photos from Teresa in Fort Worth: 51 I probably should mention that all of the bricks that make up the walkways came from the 3 chimneys that were original to the house. A lot of them have the original star or triangle stamps on them from the local brick yards that were here in 1907 when the house was built. Wow. We had quite a bit of discussion concerning members of the Malva (Mallow and Hibiscus) family, as Miley was asking about planting a Rose of Sharon. Hrothgar noted that, "My personal experience with Rose of Sharon is that it is a horrible weed at heart." The typical Rose of Sharon spreads seeds and seedlings everywhere. Though not in my grandparents' chicken yard, where there was a majestic specimen with no seedlings. There are now sterile or nearly sterile cultivars and some dwarfs that are more manageable. Here's some information. Mrs. JTB recommended looking into Lord Baltimore, one of the large-flowered perennials that dies back in the winter. It is a sterile (seedless) hybrid of several species, including American natives. ![]() Some of the really large, showy American natives can be grown from seed, so I guess they are "weedy" in some circumstances. Some of these hybrids resemble tropical hibiscus, which are tender to cold but can be grown as annuals where it freezes or with winter protection. Here is quite a bit of information on various hibiscus. 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. But read the last comment by the famous Pat*. | Recent Comments
