Thread: In The Garden 2020

Still cool though Tom. My wrens have set up housekeeping too.

Can't see inside but they are going in and out but less than before. I take it to mean they have finished building and are maybe now laying eggs. I guess we'll find out when the peeping starts

Looks like you have a front row seat!

Spring flowers!

They're coming along, won't be long until fresh strawberries for eating, jam etc!

It's nice to see everybody getting out and enjoying this beautiful spring-there is nothing better for us than fresh air. My wife and I have decided that since we can't travel, we are going to have the best garden in the neighborhood. We have huge groves of old-fashioned azaleas in different colors all around the yard. Here are a couple of shots:


My Zepherine Drouhin Bourbon Climber is blooming its ass off again this year too!

And for nests, we get wrens nesting in the same old unused Scout toolbox in the carport every year. I didn't want to get too close, as I inadvertently scare the mama out of there way too often as it is!

My blueberries are slowly coming along, and I'm waiting for my fig tree to start fruiting any year now. I've got a few herbs and some tomatoes ("maters" around here) in a little kitchen garden by the deck, and the wife and I are breaking our backs on new landscaping and planting projects. I also planted a bunch of giant sunflower seedlings around today-love those things! I may post some more pics when things fill in a bit.

Have fun in the dirt, fellas!

Haven’t taken pics yet but azaleas. Clematis and roses are popping. Built new boxes and planted garlic and onions. Lettuce is up. Tomatoes are planted along with
Squash, cucumbers and the herb garden. Jalapeño in the next couple weeks. I’m a gardening tool this year and a lawn mowing beast

Did you plant starts of the onions or seed? Just wondering.

I still need to see if there's any tomato plants out for sale. I need some supplies so I'll be checking tomorrow.
