These are the best. @gardening

11 second video. Outside, daytime. Close up of 2 honey garlic flower clusters. The one on the left has its florets mostly open. They are on long stems & face downward in 4 petalled bells. The petals are green at the base, then fade to purple & yellow at the rounded tips. The cluster on the right is all closed buds which stand upright. A bumble bee emerges from one of the open florets & goes inside another, totally covered by the petals. It comes out of that one, checks the others & flies off to the left. Its buz is faintly heard. The background is a cement drive with a border of gravel.

Other people are going away for the (US) holiday weekend, barbecuing, hiking, whatever. I'm hauling gravel. The garden show is a month from yesterday. The countdown is on! I'm terrible about taking "before" photos but trust me this is a big improvement. And why yes, that is an electric on the right there in photo 1. 5 stars. Would recommend.


A photo looking the other way. A gravel path between a low retaining wall on the left and another one on the right, ferns and shrubs on the right as well. A massive tree trunk in the distance left and a huge ceramic vessel which had been featured in other posts. A blue wheelbarrow at the end of the path.

The current state of our garden: Cinquefoil, oriental poppy, California poppy, and lily of the valley

Photograph of a bright orange oriental poppy with a dark circular center and its petals spread out flat and catching the sun.
Photograph of a half-open California poppy with solid orange petals cupped around an equally orange center.
Photograph of white, bell-shaped flowers lining the stem of a lily of the valley backed by a single broad, upright leaf.

The big rhodo is the last to bloom. There are lots of bees buzzing in it but it's a little blustery so they are not stcking around much for a photo :)

Now that I’m growing both varieties, I can totally tell the difference between soft neck and hard neck garlic.

The gardener casts a long shadow upon his garden plot! I was out preparing the section of the garden where the Cucurbits will be going and I could not resist taking this whimsical self portrait!😀

Well, let's try boiling the nopal today versus just eating it raw or quickly cooked...

ai6yr,

The main advantage of boiling seems to be:

  1. Tenderizes older/larger cactus pads.
  2. Removes some of the "sliminess", if you are not a fan of it (I like it, myself).

I will likely continue to quick cook mine, EXCEPT when I have older, tougher nopal I want to cook, where the boiling breaks down the toughness.

Tip: Scramble the eggs separately, adding the eggs to this, the eggs bind to the liquids and makes cactus-tomato-egg-drop-soup, LOL. Which is fine, but not what I was aiming for.

Eine Reminiszenz an die Straßenhund-Zeit? 🤔
Aber dann soo lieb gucken...

Ein kleiner, heller Mischlingshund hat in einem Beet eine Kuhle gebuddelt, dabei einiges an "Unordnung" verursacht. Er liegt in seinem Nest und schaut ganz lieb und unschuldig Richtung Kamera.nach links oben.

I am so very out of shape. Gardening is making me huff and puff so.. a little bit at a time I guess eh?

That one morning I got more raspberries than I could eat. I had 8 raspberry bushes in a hedge along my driveway that kept me busy all summer long. Needless to say much of them went into jams and pies.

Well, the lost cockatiel is off to a vet that helps lost birds find their humans. In other news, the rose cutting I took a coupla years ago has its first bud ever. Not sure what colour it is - my practice is to take pruning lengths & stick them in compost, then hope for the best. Seems to work well. @gardening

Interesting, saw someone selling rooted grape cuttings at the farmer's market at $30 each. (I have so many in pots in my backyard which I cannot give away, LOL). #gardening #grapes

My first attempt to root some Concord grape clippings is going well. Hoping to revive my dad’s ancient arbor that was down to only 2 vines.

Big time hog wrestling between 2 males. The bully hog got himself a drink, then went back into the hut, leaving the other one to forage for about 10 minutes. Then out he comes again, rolls the other hog away, gets a drink, & back inside. The attacked hog continued to forage after the 2nd battle, then wandered off home. @gardening

20 second video. Outside at night in front of a hedgehog feeding hut. A hog forages in the middle of the screen, with a toad house to his left & the hut to his right. A second male comes out of the hut. As he approaches, the first slowly curls up until, when the second males attacks, the first male is in a complete ball that rolls across the ground.

Photo of right hand side of backyard. With view of street over the wall (above the plants) to the right. There is a wooden table in the foreground with plants in plant pots not yet in bloom. To the left is a Daphne which had finished flowering. Other plants are budding in anticipation of summer

Oh wow, the first flower. I can hardly believe it. What do I do now?

Suggestions on pollination methods for indoor chilli plants are more than welcome.
