The Gardening Thread

Good afternoon gardeners. If you were expecting the lovely and talented KT, sorry to be your host today. She is recovering from surgery and hopes to be back soon.

Above the fold is a shot of Mulberys. My father had a Mulbery tree he had dug up on his father's farm. I ended up getting a shoot and it grew to be a beautiful tree which produced lots of fruit.

We moved and I've yet to get a Mulbery to grow. So this past week 2 Mulbery trees from Jungs Gardening arrived. They are planted. They are protected from rabbits and deer. Hopefully these 2 will produce fruit. Someday.

Speaking of trees, bushes and what not. Spring has struck the Frozen Tundra. The Lilacs are starting to leaf out. The Red Maples are almost as red now as in September. Beautiful time of year. Except for those pesky black flies.

Here is the latest Casa Misanthrope puttering project. A friend gave me this huge driftwood tree stump. It's about 10' long and about 4' diameter at the base. So a little treated lumber, a few rocks, several OTC pain relievers and some fine river gravel to finish it off tomorrow on Mother's Day.

Speaking of Mother's Day, it's not easy being a parent. Everyday is Mother's Day thank you all who do your darnedest to raise wonderful children and/or grandchildren.

That's all for now. Thank you for your patience while you await KT's return. Until the next time, Happy Gardening and Puttering.
