Series of shots of the unknown gallica like rose...







Comte De Chambord





Set of shots on Excelsior strain of Foxgloves, some of my favorite types..









Ive also strung twine around some trees around the garden.. another preventive method on the pesky deer.. deer are rather laze creatures, and habitual.. so hoping this deterent will work.. If not I will string it both high and low, spray everything again with the deer deterent, if that doesnt work, I will string even more on the side of the road will they cross..

HA! I hate deer

More Daffs, Maine Sunset other stuff

Category: Roses and Garden | Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 10:45 pm

Still not much going on except daffs, a few pansies , perennials are waking up , but are not there yet.

Some tulips are starting to show buds.. we are going through a cooling trend though and hoping for the best, was down to 26F last night...

Maine Sunset over the woods a couple nights ago...



Double Daffs have taken off... This year I really need to get some white ones.. I like the yellow but they dont have nearly the contrast in color..





Orange cupped Trumpet daff..



Here is a great garden shot =).. Compost and Manure...



Tons of stuff to do still, but I'm going to wait for it to warm up a little, Roses should ship next week, Daylily seedlings need to get into the ground. Some of the more winter hardy wintersown seedlings need to get in as well..

Its supposed to rain all weekend and its going to be a cooler raw rain, with a chance at wet snow from time to time.

Lots of Stuff going on! updated wall, flower pics , seedling

Category: Roses and Garden | Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 11:37 pm

First, a friend and I got a load of horse manure.. I let him have more of it this year, I really only need it for top dressing, probable got 2-3 yards.

Update on the rock wall,



I have it composted now, and Ive decided on some strawberry plants for at least more most of the way down.. I guess I dont need all flowers all the time ! HA! Its ozark beauty.. variety, only reason I got that kind was someone told me it was fairly hardy and vigourous for them, so will see.



Have you seen double daffs set to bloom before.. IT looks like 3X the size of a regular one.. Cant wait to actually see it!



Here are some single ones actually bloomed...





Pansies from last year.. really came back strong.. low to the ground still but huge...



Some Wintersown sprouts out there.. Black Seeded Simpson lettuce (I have 5 containers total of these)



I have about 40 containers total sprouting out of 105 so far.. but tons of time left..

Here is some Hopi Dye Red Amaranth



my 500 daylily seedlings or so for this year... getting ready to plant in the ground



I also sprayed my entire garden with a concoction of garlic and hot sauce.. Non too early to stop the deer from eating my leafing roses and other perennials starting to come back..Spring is in the air!

Been Awhile.. Glory of Snow, another rock wall added.

Category: Roses and Garden | Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2010 11:26 pm

Its been several months.. unless you guys wanted to see pictures of seed packs and winter sowing jugs, or daylily seedlings started.. which do not look like more than thick blades of grass at such early ages.. doesn't mean I haven't been busy though..

Glory of Snow (Chinodoxa) was second flower to bloom this year after crocus.. Crocus of course skipped blooming the week and half of cool temp rainy type days and decided to come out on our way above average temp weekend ... to fry in the sun! HA.



I have planted Peas (variety frosty) and have Lettuce sprouts coming up as well.

Did another rock wall this year.. 3 times as long, but not as wide, this isnt for retaining, just for looks, planning on putting some low growing stuff in front, like creeping phlox , I dont want to overpowering the Stone Work..





Pick of a Quartz Granite Mix, that I literally rolled several hundred feet to this spot.. I found a vein of quartz up in some hills near my home. It was easy to find hard to move, I couldnt pick it up but I could roll it , I estimate its around 350..



Im pretty much done with the winter sowing, I expanded my veggie garden another 2 feet by 6 .. still small, but will be large enough for what I'm doing. Ive gotten a couple truckloads of compost to start on my back daylily beds as well.. I still need more to expand a bog area. Roses are coming soon as well.

I couldnt resist a few half price oriental casablanca bulbs as well at lowes.

Silverkelt..

Rosa Prairie Joy, bush shot of Vicks Caprice...

Category: Roses and Garden | Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2009 11:56 am

Rosa Prairie Joy, candian parkland rose, another enabled rose that I got. Its supposed to be low growing , clean as a whistle and hardy. However, pickering sent me the smallest graft Ive ever seen from them. Usually they are a top notch vendor, still one of the best. I was a little dissapointed that they sent me something so small, even with a 2 dollar drop in price, this one was too small to be sent. Its going to take a couple of years to get up to snuff...



Bush shot of Vicks Caprice, no complaint here, strong healthy plant on a perfect graft. This is the usual top grade pickering normally sends. You can see some of the deer damage at top. They havent been back since I fertilized with the plant tone, they never seem to like the blood meal smell of it, but its a temporary fix at best, the smell washes away and they come back, eventually.



Couldnt resist, another shot of nikko blue hydrangea, which of course is very pink next to the the concrete foundation, leaching of lime and all that, you know =).



Some annuals finally waking up, will have some pics eventually =)
