So daylilies I created some years ago, by cross pollinating ones I liked, then growing the seeds. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] A barrel of sedums that...
Today I wrapped sections of fig tree trunks with strips of plastic, followed by an application of Tanglefoot. That keeps the ants out of the...
Today I hung a LOT of bird scare tape strips, for blueberries and figs. Implanted the mini-flat of French marigolds. Happy that's done. I have...

Here is the fig tree that I first posted about. It is a Hardy Chicago fig tree that was way too big and had a lot of winter kill, so in March I...
I watered sweetcorn. It doesn't look like much yet but where there is life, there's hope. Ran the drip system for most of the garden. Squashes...
