Gardening, landscaping and plants in general

[endo]

We're doing some earthworks and clearing around the cottage grounds. But most importantly, we're getting everything ready for a bonfire party tonight.

Our yellow Iris are the first to flower, reckon the next colours will be about a week or so....

And some of the Tree Peonies are out, way before their herbaceous cousins.....

[Giles]

And, just found another.....

The sacrificial pot filled with only dirt is highly underrated

Got this season’s tomatoes into the ground this morning.
8 San Marzanos for canning and
1 Big Rainbow, 1 Old German, 1 Brandywine, 1 German Johnson and 2 Sungold cherry tomatoes for eating off the vine.

[Giles]

A couple more Iris and reared their ugly heads....

@SFMCfranky nice setup - I started some San Marzanos as well but they're still pretty weedy despite being started in a propagator, so I am rather jealous haha

My neighbors had a company fence off the lot next to me (owned by a developer), and now there are four goats just chilling in there eating the ivy

[northsouthdenimguy]

Kind of a waste though, since my ivy’s just going to creep back over there. I actually like it for ground cover, and I spray it for mosquitoes

[northsouthdenimguy]

Apparently, I don’t know how to count. There’s at least 10 goats.

My favourite herbaceous Peonies.

Paeonia 'Coral Charm'

A few of my David Austin’s are starting to show off here in Texas! Favorite time of year.

[Giles]

[Giles]
