Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 time for a new one of these, it aint like the gardens are getting any smaller I've been a busy bee. Spring is poppin up all over the place. The shade bed is about 1/3 done gratuitous spring photo I got the stabby things done out back, my hands are all scratched up and I pulled prickers outta my hand w/ twesers but The berries black and golden are 'contained' together and I moved the damn spite cactus. it just wont godamn die While clearing around my baby lilac I found a heather I planted there last year and forgot all about I moved foxglove back to the eng garden hoping it would seed itself some. Be careful what you wish for. About every seed that dropped is now a plant >.< Sledgers finally got his pear tree. We tied bells on it to keep the friggin dear off of it Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HEY, LISTEN! No, YOU listen. If something's important, just say so without yelling at me. Or fly over to it and change color like you usually do. Just because I'm busy mowing the lawn and hoping I'll find some spare change, doesn't mean I can't hear you." - Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Its hard to believe thats the golden raspberry.. I know it must have grown some over the winter but I don't remember it being that friggin huge. ; and holy crap! the amount of foxglove seedlings is insane! you should chuck a crapload of them into the woods to see if you can start an entire patch of wild foxgloves in there. aww cute...pears....the same shape as Sledge X'D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Hahaha Epples X'D Great stuff Lady ... I really can't wait to see how they'd look about a month from now. Keep us posted . Any plans for some experimenting ... cross-cropping or what's the term ... ya know 'take this and take that, put em together and you get different colored flowers'! I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 I have totally cross cropped before. I never had much success. I planted black Iris bulbs one year, 3 years ago. Spent a whole bunch of money and was all excited. They never grew! It's been 2 years since I had moved out of the house. I came by to help move a VW bus last spring, and there they were. I hope the new renters liked my choice of bulbs since they never bloomed for me. LOL. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Well, Toutousai...don't you think it's a pity for Tessaiga?

Hollyhocks and blackberries in the back, black eyes susan and sweet pea everywhere and of course more foxglove I'm standing 1/2 way on the path at the gardeners entrance. as you can see the plants have overgrown the path making it tiff to get through there w/o squishing something the sweaty gardner. this pic is so neat it looks 3dish. the background looks fake but its my garden!

Kelene 268 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Your yard is wonderful!!! How much time have you put into it this summer so far? Your garden area is awesome, I wish I had the time to devote to my garden. Mom gives us so many flowers/plants and I feel bad when some of the die because I have no time or place to put things right now. Kids playing with computer... bye...

Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Mowing is pretty much an all day project. The tractor is still down so I push mow it all. I like having the grass out back all one length. The way the yard rolls gets kinda hidden if the grass goes over 3 inches. I can spend hours in the gardens a few times a week spring till fall and still never be done.
