Gardening Thread

Planted hollyhocks and lupins today -and some lovely deep purple-flowered perennial pilfered from a friend's garden. Tomorrow: delphiniums, columbines, aster, sweet peas, bell flowers, and busy lizzies. Hope it rains tonight! That, or I hope my hose elongates over the night so I can reach all my garden patches.

I have one pear tree and I thought for sure it would not bear fruit (I heard you need two pollination) but it looks like we have some swollen buds

I picked some lily of the valley it smells SO GOOD in the house.

My peonys are in full bloom,so far my rose tree still looks like a stick with some leaves(not many of those)

I have a plum tree and a cherry tree, but they are babies :lol: . Only about 3 feet tall.

Pear and apple trees in my yard,the neighbors have peaches and grapes,I can hardly wait for the fresh fruit

I love peaches

I am anxious to try these as they are supposed to have none of the fuzz on them

YUMMY... No I am craving a peach..
* (peach, I can eat a peach for hours) * :lol:

The pears are what Ilook forward to

Plums are my favourite but I'm not picky and I'll have a little of everything Yorkie.

come on over boston

*packs a bag for a trip to Yorkie's house*

Is excited that Boston is coming for some fresh fruit

And you of course.

My rose tree is finally getting a few leaves on it

I get a fail this year, my garden is flooded and not yet tilled, I did plant a few new raspberries and so far that's it.

LMAO...and that's all!!

Roses are blooming in the new rose garden today,won't get many,but at least they tried for me

Well, with the humidity index, it has reached 42 degrees this week. Even the leaves on my older trees (at least 50 years) are wilting. Mother Nature is not about happy mediums, is she?

we have had 7 inches of rain in the last 10 days everything is saturated,weeds growing like crazy,can't get into my new flower
beds to weed,finally got the grass mowed today 5 hours on a friggin
riding mower,had to go slow and take half rows as it was to wet
to take the full size of the mower deck

Going to try to plant some dianthus tomorrow

I think we should take pics of our blooms! My peonies are blooming they are so beautiful

My peonies are done,there won't be much to take pics of this year as most
of mine are new and will take awhile to get established,but I do enjoy
seeing what others are doing with their flowers and what they plant

I will be in the garden this weekend so I'll take some pictures for you ladies... My plan is to weed (ugh), add more rock to my front bed and maybe buy some fruit plants.

I'm excited my Iris' are finally coming in bloom.

what kind of fruit plants?

I dunno... fruit... probably strawberries and blueberries.
