Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, April 19

Happy Easter Weekend! What could be nicer than some blossoming trees?

By-Tor sent in a couple of photos of cherry trees from D.C.:

People love those trees:

More Trees

Hi KT, hope you're doing well!

The other day I was at Home Depot and saw woven pillars of living willow, forming a leafy green crown. I was seduced by this, and wanted to find out how it would grow over the years. In my quest for this, I came across amazing cunning structures. Here is one such video, but there are many more Bonnie Gale - Living Willow Structures

I suddenly thought, "Hey, do deer eat willow?" and of course they do, so forget about willow planting around here!

The denizens of the garden thread might get a kick out of this.

Lotsa fun! Thanks!

If willows, won't work, maybe eight similar trees, some with showier flowers, or even TWENTY.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By

There are illegal alien fruit flies in California. The county hung, then removed, traps from some of our fruit trees recently.

Rules and regulations at the link.

the bowl of peas we picked from the three or four plants, the best parsley plant we’ve ever had, and next to that our first time planting celery.

Heat got over 100 this week so some of the others took a hit.

The veggies look great! Hope the weather holds for a while for Nan in AZ.

Gardens of The Horde

Spring is in full bloom at Casa Bohunk here in SW Florida. Here's a few of the flowers that are strutin' their stuff around the house.

Petunias and Geranium are hot, hot hot...pink!

Patriotic petunias and delphinium

The delphinium is a nice find.

Portulaca and dianthus are showoffs too.

The Crossandra is crushin' it with blooms and deep green leaves!

Proof that containers can look great!!!!

Finally got the first photo right!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Happy Easter!

Week in Review

A note from the past in the last comment: Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, April 12

Any thoughts or questions?

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.
