I'm not 100% sure yet @Rillowen, but being a perennial veg I would guess that they are for use as a green onion. I haven't tried eating them yet, being too small and needing to establish themselves a bit first. I do wonder if they are prolific enough that I might be able to start pulling out...

Crosnes planting day!😁 I don't have especially high expectations for taste, but I'm open to see what they're like. I felt averse to them for years because of the grub resemblance, but I think I'm over it now. (I think.)

I saw some bean plants today at a local garden center, in transplant pots. 4 seedlings in one single, which is both odd and counterfeit really, since they are all in a cluster and are bush beans. Saddest looking plants there, along with the basils. Not dead, but on life support because the...

Rue, I've so associated the word with a plant that I had to look up the alternate meaning. Yeah, not the most cheerful term is it? I used to grow rue, but when DD became a toddler she'd get a wicked rash if she brushed up against it, so I got rid of it. I never did sample the plant for taste...

For a little dog that came from several generations of hunting lines that never saw the inside of a house, we are so happy with this dog as a companion pet, and also as a bit of a working dog too for stuff like this. We love him to bits. Still likes to wander a bit too much, but we'll take it. 😊

Not a good photo, but this is my main black currant bush and its surrounding offspring. I noticed today that the runner shoots coming up around the main shrub are leafing out, whereas the original plant is not yet. Puzzling. My 'Jaltomate Aguaymanto' plants are finally sprouting! 🥳 They are...

We have turned a corner with scent detection! We started with wintergreen oil, and special scent detection boxes, and are now officially off the boxes and onto actual room searches and new, random scents to find! It's mostly DD's work at this point, but I still enjoy it from the sidelines and...

Oh wow, that's interesting @Decoy1 about the Iceland poppies. I had no idea this was possible. It would explain what's happened then!

A wild violet is a type of mini-pansy, right? Looking around the garden this weekend I saw that some of the large flowering pansies I planted last year have re-seeded themselves. The tags did say perennial on them, but I didn't believe it. I've never known large flowering pansies to survive...

Funny you mention this about the poppies, because today I noticed 2 small seemingly unrecognizable plants right around the base of one of the poppies. On closer inspection it does indeed look like babies! This is a first, and tells me I must have been lagging on my deadheading last year, as I...

Those darn onion seeds, one of the few that really perish as they age. I've got a couple cell packs planted with them, its been 4 weeks + and still not all are up. I'm giving them until June, then I'll let go. But I noticed last week one of them has a couple sprouts so hope springs eternal...

Newly stained trellis! Really relieved that this is done because painting this thing was a nightmare. Way too many surfaces to account for with a small paintbrush. And the nauseous odor drifting off the stain I'm pretty sure melted some of my neurons. It's that time of year where I play...

Today was nice, windy with a chance of summer. 😊

Love to see people saving seeds! :love

There's no deer here. My neighbours who are deer hunters have to drive several hours to get them. Thank heavens!

Managed to get the tomato & pepper seedlings in the greenhouse for awhile today. I would have liked to leave them in longer but once the sun ducked behind the clouds, the temps plummeted. Didn't want to rake any chances. Edema has cropped up in some of the tomato seedlings, clearly in the...

It's such a small thing, but I FINALLY got a single pink skirret seed to sprout...... and I feel effervescent. Like, 'whoopa whoopa do a little jig' happy. My prior record of complete failure with perennial seeds probably causes me to celebrate this victory a little more than what's normal. 🤪...

My gosh she is a cute dog @Marie2020. This is going to sound like a really funny question, but have you ever heard of FOMO? What you've described sounds like that? My dog had it when he was about a year old.

Quite the opposite ducks, you always bring me up :hugs

One of those songs that just stuck the first time I heard it, lol, catchy Tell Mom the Words The wind of change will decorate my shadow at night Based on the songs, I will build a carousel Everything you dreamed about is covered by a wild flame We are at the end of the tunnel, after...
