    The Pond Thread

    Yellow flag iris can grow so fast take up the whole pond in no time. My little pond has fish muddies really just goldfish. I have lost so many fish over the years to raccoons and a heron that lives by the creek. I don’t stock spendy fish any more, but here’s a pic of the water yellow flag iris...

    Are azaleas a type of rhododendron?

    It is amazing the value of spring trees, shrubs and bulbs akin to the PNW. It is always a joyous scene and coupled with a butterfly or two can actually give hope for more to come. Close up pic of the garden dogwood bracts in bloom and rhody’s always attract bee’s .

    Are azaleas a type of rhododendron?

    Interesting discussion. I never really thought about it that way. Most Azaleas are deciduous, but true Rhododendrons are usually evergreen. Azaleas have funnel shaped flowers. Rhodi flowers tend to be bell-shaped but I think have very similar flower form. All the azalea’s are evergreen in my...

    Gone to the Dogs

    What an amusing story. Which can address the many sounds dogs make that can almost talk. Like.. I wuv u… that sort of thing. But the sounds your describing sounds like a human asking for help. Could be that dog has mimicked that sound to ask for attention.

    Who here has been watching and is a fan of "Gross Pointe Garden Society"?

    Good deal ‼️ Let me know what you think of it. I really enjoyed every aspect of it. Even if it was in England the plants still are very similar to my zone 8b. It’s a keeper😊

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    Your battle with blackberry and pruning climbing roses is truly understood. It’s a plucky combination. Time for battery op pruners much easier. I been doing the same thing and yikes I feel like a pin cushion. Your pink roses are gorgeous.😍

    Yes Rosemary and thyme is on DVD. I have it if ya can’t fined it , would be happy to send it to ya‼️ I agree big little lies was very intense lots of twists and and turns several plots. It’s a bit disappointing to watch this garden society tv show. I’d rather watch paint dry.😉
