Not really active gardening, but close enough…
I got a nice little patch behind the house that only gets mowed once a year, if at all. Every May we see some of the nicest orchids.

Following on @FOXY ’s orchid theme, saw this beautiful terrestrial orchid in Turkey’s northwest area.

@Giles how are the plums?

[Giles]

None. I pruned the tree very hard earlier in the year. It exhausted itself last year and need some very tough love.....

There is a coffee shop 3 blocks from my house that saves all of their used grounds and bags them up in 10 lb bags for (free) garden use
