Spring collection, starting from Brassicas that bolt, lady's mantles that are ready to shine, other plants with lovely shapes and color patterns on the leaves - and a mini daily bouquet is there to brighten any corner in the house.
I like this kind of mini bouquet very much. Every...
Another day with super heavy rain, so, it's time to stay indoors for reading and chores.
The flowers picked yesterday - they look gorgeous after resting over night.
There is an introduction of Green lacewings - it's great to learn about that their larvae are known as "aphid lions" (also...
About three weeks ago, I pinched the tops of Dahlias that I grew from seeds and propagated them as cuttings. Some make it, and some don't. For those successfully rooted, it's time to give them their own cells.
Meanwhile, the pruned Stevia cuttings were soaked in water. I didn't have any...
Rained in the morning, so I only did some weeding when the rain paused. The rest of the time, just enjoy reading gardening magazine and Netflix.
Bobo and Momo were doing their sniffing here and there while I was weeding. It seems that they like the same spot.
The soft pink one is even more...
Geum 'Apricot Pearl' - I bought the bare root and planted it last spring, but there was no flower at all. Then, I forgot it, until it decided to bloom.
Same as Thalictrum
Lupine starts to show some colors - this year, I have about 10 plants in different corners.
My first Kenzan pinholder -...
#24015 Spring Collection
After a few days...
Different flowers have different vase life, therefore, adding some new flowers can create a different vibe for sure.
The peonies look good in the garden, however, we would have rain later this week. Besides, this is a very young peony plant...
My beloved Peony is blossoming! I ordered it in 2022 spring, received and planted the tuber in 2022 autumn. Last year, it offered one flower, and this year, although I transplanted it (and Peonies don't like such kind of moving), there are 5 flower buds. Today, the first one is blossoming.
I...
Okay, I just did some not that pleasant work in the afternoon - dividing the mini water-lilies I bought three years ago and brought back from my FIL's garden. Uh, I didn't plant to divide them at all, but it is slimy and smelly, yuck.
I took them out from the original container and tried to...
Hey, cheer up. Our garden is a true nightmare for many people, because tremendous effort and time are needed to maintain it. This might be the reason why nobody bought it for a while, and we (DH and I) had totally no idea about that as we are city kids. After we moved in, I did so many...
Yes, it can be seen in northern part of Europe till Switzerland, too. I will stay up a bit tonight. However, I read that a warning was announced as it might affect the communication and power supply.
Something funny, I saw this kind of 'indoors' germination several times for tomatoes, but, it's my first time seeing this in a melon. The melon itself is fine, not overripe at all.
The seeds just can't wait to grow!
Well, you got what you want, and let's see where will this lead us to? :D
Compared with what this small piece of land looked like in early 2023, it's an absolutely correct decision to re-build smaller chicken runs but with roofs. It will remain a terribly bare and muddy land if we didn't make the decision to redo the runs.
Also I well accepted the fact that I just...
On a broken Peony tuber, an bud decided to grow.
I grew some Dahlias from seeds this year and pinched them to encourage the side shoots. Instead of discarding the pinched tops, I took them as cuttings and tried propagating them. I don't expect a 100% successful rate, but obviously, some are...
