Changing Of The Guard...Garden
I say this is all for the bees and people still think I’m joking.Cleared most of the creeping buttercup in the front, tree lilies looking good.Angel + Lentils = Angle.Hydrangea cutting.Pretty sure I spread all these by shaking the dried seed-heads around.Okay, this is the red Hydrangea from a cutting, first flower ever!Aquilegia is everywhere.Eighteen holes, eighteen berries rooting and filling…

Espresso for Two
What I’m still assuming is a rose seedling is growing.There are a few buds on the passiflora.More light, less eating my squash and a scent of coffee.Had a little cement mix leftover in an open bag and stuck a screw in there.It’d be amazing on the post, but would fall off too easy.Can’t cut the rose back these years, so eight feet it is.You can technically walk through it.
Yo, Dear Reader, it…

Castles In The Garden
Ajuga is so pretty.Passiflora buds, likely a two year to bloom plant, so Summer comes it’s outside. I like it, but need the space.Lentils is aghast at being born.Aquilegia, which is everywhere this year.The only rose I have that seems to always start again at the base, not wild mind or a sucker.Teasel is half invasive, but I like it for the bees.The details are nice.It’s not all greenery.Little…

Bee Smacked
Hard to imagine we still have tulips coming.They’re so clear you can’t tell they’re there unless they’re covered in condensation.First rose of the year!That centre one is going to be tricky and done much later.I know they’re scrapping forest floors for potting compost material, but come on! This is in my squash pot.My boys.Second squash has started, took maybe a week and a half, maybe two.
Yo,…

Carpenter, Glazer, Gardener, Artist Or Just Jack
Tulips are still appearing.Late blooming, scented daffodils.Photos are a great way to see beyond what needs to be done.New baby amaryllis on the oldest plant.Red rose needed staking.Tomatoes are slow and the garlic is a little ahead of the ones outside.Not by much either.Lucked out with the new rhubarb, likely grown in a mass and take way in chunks, I got a good few pieces.Pinky finger sized,…

Oh, that B-b-baby Face!
Rosemary flowers look like little fairies.Raspberries are a little slow this year.Every garden should have a flowering currant, partly for the bees, partly because they’re so pretty.Magnolia is so pretty.I moved the marble as the bed has sunk and there are so many masks.Apple blossoms are always striking.Refuses to rise.Tried every rotation with the horns and managed to find a better…

Feed, Weed, Weed To Feed
Fun observation: There are a lot of copycats in these plastic toys, some outright, some piecemeal. You can see Gerald in this, but not quite fully.Assumed that was going to die off, it was teeny a week or so ago. Fuchsia, not…well, you know.Paint will make all the details pops, for now the sun does the same.I’ll need the planters so I can’t just keep these for next year. They’ll go…

Bone Breaker, Spine Maker
Most are facedown right now.I take photos to find the good parts.Hosta is just suddenly up. Nettles are appearing and one fine day I’m not super busy they’re plant feed.Lovely tulips and that wall that was painted just before the rain came and never left.Started and just had a few to go and the rain and wind came, I was prepared.Heuchera! Bless you.Parrot Tulips are usually fussier than this.How…

The Hole Truth
I hope they rebloom some day.For what it was this wasn’t bad really, just needed a little more after years of settling.Haha duct tape? No, really.The flowers are somehow surviving all this unseasonable weather.Sorry, strong winds means no opening anything. Things are starting albeit slower than they should.Ah, the eclipse.I will add so, so many clips when I fix the panes.Moving things around to…

The Fall of Beelzebub
Plum trees looking healthy.On sunny days it’s a tonic.Stay in magnolia until the storm passes.Thought that was a variegated yellow at first.Hanging baskets are still blooming.The blocks fell and Beelzebub went horns first into the dirt, they had to be restuck in three places, but somehow he was fine. Now moved.Second flowering currant.Lilac getting ready to bloom.Buddleia because I need another?…

Shovel, Smash and Repeat
Super old peony is back. One of three pots at this point.Teeny cherry blossoms.Found a bunch of these in a strawberry pot, can’t ID yet so repotted to see to later.Hot enough in the growhouse for the saved runner beans!Kiwi is back, would love to see it flower.Good old apples…well, young apples.Forgot about the saskatoon berry.Not much slug damage despite the wet thankfully.Still not sure what…

Strawberry Barrel Saga
Spare tomatoes have started inside the greenhouse.Honesty Plant is underwhelming, supposedly the seed pots are pretty.A dog shaped cloud appeared after I made the barrel.Front lilac is common lilac I think.Ah, dark geranium came back!I should’ve marked it, but eyeballing worked, there’s a natural line on the barrel too.Sanded the edges, but still needed a little protection.
Yo, Dear Reader,…

Beware The Ehs of March
Teeny cherry blossoms.All the coffee really seems to have taken care of much of the slugs, a few years ago these’d be swiss cheese.Peony from last year, the really cheap one.Hardy kiwi is back. Might be the third year?The muscari are surprisingly nice when planted in bulk.The firepit looks well, think the clematis is gone, but there are wild raspberries in there.See? One came in as I was taking…

Moments of Perfect Clarity
I’m not sure what type of magnolia this is, but it looks better than when it was given to me.Primroses are lovely even when beaten up.Never buying one, but will take as many as I can find.Plums are looking good.Sink plant…I forget what it is, came to me mostly dead a few years ago.Ran in to wipe and back out to check. Going to be great come Summer with that huge tree gone.Delphinus, also larkspur…

Tis The Beeason
Orchids are happy inside.Oldest rhubarb remains the best.Elder from last year. In a coal scuttle.Roses are really filling in.Someone’s been eating the flowers.The Rambler is filling out so fast, like a crashing wave. The rose spray wasn’t helping it any.They’re lovely, but so so small.Resting on the sun warmed wall.Funnily the yellow rose always buds out of one side and always upwards like…

Bless Me, Bees
Some willows are already growing leaves as others just open.Aran Victory is much further ahead, I could cover and rush them, but it’s too wet so I’ll wait.Teeny tiny cherry blossom buds.Funnily I dreamt of a flower meadow last night.Just look at them.These are all saved seeds.Lovely bit of colour.A shame when they’re low they’re harder to smell.Glory in the snow.That that had to be tossed into a…

(It’s been nine years? Wow, thanks to all those who have supported me throughout this, I know things have been a lot more lax these last few years and I’m grateful for the space to share my own little adventures. Thank you all, Dear Reader!)
White orchid is out again.Getting it to red is pretty neat.Neighbour’s deceased wife’s rose is back again, every year I worry. She was a lovely person, nice…
