A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat What's new in your garden?

Heres cow.

I am just joking with you......We do have a sense of humor on here......Haha
TRy forgetting your shoppin list sometime, and find out after your in the store.......I burns me to no end..

Hi Wrennie!
:wink:, the white marble is nice!

Jennisca, thanks!

Tamara, HD has river rocks. Need to hire a "strong one" to pick up the bags and carry to back after I return home.
I think I like those river rocks the best. They are mixed shades of brown which would go nicely with my fountain.

Barb, hope you get your next 50 down!

What's new in your garden?

I found my horseradish, or it found me. Anyway we are reunited and I'm very happy.

Nothing new in my garden until the middle of June, we get frost until then.

tamara......

I am with you ,,no more snow .....Enough is enough.

I had 20 tulips planted, the snow killed about 175.

Sad sad sad .......Hurry lilys hurry..

Sorry to hear that dodge...... 175 tulips what a sight that would have been.

Thanks ROsepetal,

I took such pride on my tulips last spring........I felt let down.........
To console myself I planted 50 more strawberries... Now those are done 100..........in all.
50 for me 50 for the birds..ha ha;o)
Have to run , I want to upload the most recent photo of my new garanddaughter.

The folks on her know about Haley.

Hey Dodge,

Your tulips will come back next year probably even better than this year and with lots of babies too. Just put about 3 inchs of leaf mulch on them this fall. They love that. Mine made two babies each when I did that.

No tulips up here yet, just dafodills up about 2 or 3 inches so far. We had snow flurries last night again.

Sure tammy.

It was first time that happened here..never had snow so late..Middle of march it is usually all over......
I get the leaves from the maple tree blown there by mom nature......I let them be.
Well I am seein lots of Lilys on the way and maybe I will have a nice show to put on here.

tamara

Are your tulips always that late?
My daffys were blapped too......But Maybe LILYs will our shine this time.....

My little grape things are ok.......But never get as pretty as most do............
Like they say, we can't have everything.

But we can try.............;o)

Dodge, our growing season is very late, we usually get snow right up into the beginning of May, we had flurries last night and snow for Monday they say.

Hope it isnt too hard on you......Your probably a stronger person for that ......

It does make the perennials more beautiful, I'll bet.
It is only 42 here right now, it is easier to tolerate if the sun shines......None right now.

I am attempting to clean house..ha ha

Always have to dust he computer..ha hah :wink:

this is the second year for my blackberry lilies so they should bloom this year but not until fall. I'm looking forward to that.

I'm doing lily of the valley's this year. Our friends tell me to contain them some what or they'll take over.

I'm finally seeing a tiny bud coming up from the hosta I planted last year, sure glad to see that.

My bleeding heart and hydrangea are coming along fine. Thought I'd loose my roses with this last snow fall, but they seem to be doing OK. My daughter bought me a mini rose bush for Mother's day last year and that's coming along nicely too.

So far so good, now if we could just get a few calm days with NO WIND I'd love to do more garden work.

My mini rose bush is a red and white stripie.....My sis gave me and it didnt freeze......Love it.

I had one of those last year and it just made its first bloom and it froze........wah.
Now I see 3 coming up in that spot.. it is the 2nd year for mine also.
Maybe we got it from the same person??????

b

Goodie gum drops.............

Mine is a pale pink/peach color. I have a few pictures of on bloom in rain somewhere it was so pretty.

This is a picture of my mini rose from last year.

Rosepetal, what a beautiful picture.

I had a rose bed at one house and I always thought the red roses smelled the best.

Thats beautiful...It looks like mine that died.

b

Your on your way triss.......

We have more cold cold rain and mud......No planting at all. Yesterday I ended up planting my 50 strawberrys in a flower bed, because husband coldn't get into the the muddy garden ....gees the mess we have...No sun for several days adn 42º holding.

I agree...................

Awwww that's not good weather for this time.

We had high winds here today, so bad I stayed in the house all day.

Bestofour I think you're probably right about red roses. I'm not even sure if this one has a fragrance or not. I'll have to check this summer.

It's been cold and dreary here, my snow is almost all gone and my weeds are popping up already. My daffodils are starting to make their buds.

Hope your daffy dont get snow like ours did.

Have a nice spring.

My peonies are on their way from Brecks. I'm excited I bet you can tell. These are going in big planters. That way when I move they move without being disturbed. Woohoo!

Very good Tk.....

What color are they? Mine are a really deep pink.

Beautiful foliage on them that lasts all summer.......
Did you ever find a house yet?

I pulled all the spinach, blanched and froze it, and tilled the rest of the lettuce under,then I planted Peanuts and Blackeyed Peas today.

AAAAmigatec

Horray your done well today.........
All I did was hoe and weed part of a flower bed.. Had company and watched the Races...........

I also hilled the 'Tators. I have a hiller attachment for my Tiller.

:/
Pat,

I never heard of a Hiller on a Tiller.........Is that something new for tators?????????

Baffled in Pa.

It's an attachment made for Troy-bilt. It will make a furrow 8" deep and 8" wide and has bolt on wings that will hill your 'tators. Works really well. Furrower/Hiller

Thanks for showing me.........Hd knew but I didnt .. Were farmers........
My tiller is a Troy built........
I really enjoy that bugger.....i went thru a couple cheap ones and found ole Troy and love it.

Thanks for the proto......We dont plant tators, have 2 neighbors who do , we raise beefcattle and corn and hay.

I have a garden and yard with lotza flowers from gardenhelper.

;o)

Wow! We went from 15 degrees to 86 degrees in 3 1/2 weeks! My first planting of peas is up, and most of the first planting of corn. potatoes also, just barely. Cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower are doing well. Some of the lettuce has gotten HUGE, and the strawberries are blooming.

After this next "cool" snap passes, I'm considering planting my main crop tomatoes and peppers. My early tomatoes are blossoming well. I haven't checked yet to see if any fruit has set.

it looks like I'm going to have to pull out the bloom booster for my tomatoes. They just aren't producing flowers and they are over 2 feet long so I think they should.

I've already forgotten the names of the peonies I bought but I'll definitely write it down when they come in. One is a dark red and the other is a pink and white.

The newest additions to my garden at least if they sprout are some romaine lettuce and some tomato trees. I've got my fingers crossed.

Happy eating Terry

Va is so much warmer than Pa......We cant trust the frost yet.........

At least 2 weeks yet.

Nice to see what everyone is doing. Interesting how spring is coming to everyone.
