You should be good to go. With that size water container this season maybe in another a larger container will be needed as the root grows larger. They like soggy wet clay soils under water levels.,Keep water still water lilies don’t like movement. Also there are some efficient fertilizers made...

Cold last week and this week here to. Highs in the 50’sF and if we are lucky a 60F will sneak in. Next week same story. May is a fickle weather month. One day it’s snowing the next it’s 70’F. I just hope we don’t experience another unusual blazing hot summer . I have been down sizing the...

@Debbie292d One year I went on a search for the best cheese cake recipe. I went thru a lot of cream cheese and neighbors , they were tired of chesee cake . Would you believe the best cheese cake recipe was the winner at the state fair that I happen to run across , everyone liked and finally...

I agree time to sell or blow up the area and turn into a rock quarry. I live a few miles from an old rock quarry where we could hear the blasts . It’s was shut down a few years ago for obvious reasons to close to us settlers.

@digitS’ You are a handy fellow. Your were a tuff flower picker to deal with and very happy you never experienced any accidents crawling up on the top of glass greenhouses. OMG… Cirque du Soleil pays higher rates for doing similar stunts. 😉 I spotted a Douglas fir seedling on top of the...

Oh how I despise burdock. It’s coming up everywhere in the pastures . I have been mowing very close to the ground to discourage growth . This weed is a seed spreader which comes in on the wind currents during winter storms. But it seems to be getting away from me and the mower. So will spray...

Ducks very nice new heavy pots. With those your practically guaranteed that the wind cannot blow them over. But no guarantee’s against critters. 😉 Just curious next, to the pots … the metal lid strapped to the concrete , is it a container ? Cistern or water? We have a cistern similar that...

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...

Yeap your wake up scenario is familiar. Reading that early I’m not awake enough to process anything. Your a good sport to share all with us and interesting stuff to place a marker for the next early wake up session with @digitS’ Sometimes I get up and putz around. But mostly I take care of my...

Rain all week and occasional sun breaks to race outside to garden clean up. 60’s all week.

@Marie2020 Nancy Rose is a up and coming model for the best pose on this garden forum. All she needs is a rose collar to guarantee her place in Doggie World top models. (Made the title up). Roxy’s favorite video to watch.

@SPedigrees … and pedi-agree with @Marie2020‼️ Congrats on your new pack of friends. 👏 I made a similar pact with my son , to take my beautiful pets if I am ever called away.

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 .

@TEG Project Manager. Thank you for the cudos‼️😀

I use a programmable watering system that can be controlled by computer, iPhone, many devices , called b-Hive. If it rains the weather report is programmed into the system and doesn’t water. The same for drought conditions the program reports if soil is dry or to much water. It takes the...

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...
