Operation "train the grape vines over the pergola" is a go

Hoping for some summer shade

@GraemeE looking good!

It's great being out at sea, but we are away from home at my favourite time of the year in the garden. Had these sent to me this morning.....

Successful in gaining shade but it's still hot as fuck this week (at least by Oregon standards)

@GraemeE what kind of smoker is that?

[GraemeE]

@jfk1117 I think it's a fairly generic brand - while I've used it for smoking plenty it's essentially just a welded barrel with a chimney

A friend’s harvest of “Tommy Atkins” mangoes looks very promising this year!

[Clint_D]

Those look delicious!

Envious....

I thought I’d share a photo of my 7 foot monstera as she was looking so good today! Another obsession I have is house plants. I’m constantly propagating but I’m most fascinated with Alocasia and philodendron.

I recently added this Philodendron billietiae too, love the orange stems on these.

Any others collect these?

A couple Japanese maples and a wip pic of a flagstone path my wife and I did last summer/fall.

Love the Japanese Maples! I’ve tried quite a few over the years but can’t seem to do well with them in the Texas heat. The Bloodgood varietal did okay but never really thrived and got wiped out by our heavy freeze a few years ago.
