Catmint can take a beating and keep on going so I had no doubt this one will take off She pretty much stays put here growing ~2ā tall then falling over to fill in the gapsā¦unfortunately, I canāt find any end of season pics though on par for most that are online
Sheās thriving out there in my front rose bush planter. Actually gets early morning and late afternoon sun. What color are her flowers again? White or Purple?
Iāll get a pic of the phlox growing in soon. Sheās got leaves starting, but Iām waiting until itās fully established. 75% sure it is taking. I saw a hint of new green stalk coming up
Got our first drizzle today. It was chicken shit, just enough to filth up the car, but it means I should probably plant a new crop of cilantro.
Staked one of the delphinium flower spikes, but it needs a taller one. First thing tmw before cannabis harvesting. It has 2 spikes one almost looks like a runner (the one I staked). it has a gazillion flowers forming on it. The 2nd spike flowers are open now, a gorgeous light purple color now.
Got lightning storm (2 sec delay) thunder cracks, 1" frigid rain, 30mph wind. Was out in the garden patching the āroofā.
ā¦ ā¦ ā¦
Have 2-4+ weeks to goā¦variously
Montana is getting a massive snowstorm todayā¦ feet, they said. yikes!
They look yummy. Gonna definitely need the garlic!
Nice! Purpleā¦the phlox is white
Damn! We finally got our 1st frost way up here though snow is on its wayā¦weird weather this last year just hope its not another icy year with all of this rain
Gorgeous! I am really jealous of what you can grow there though very grateful for the cooler weather up here and your continued inspiration to light a fire under my ass to get a greenhouse going Maybe next summer
I really want to weed and go to town on my shade planters. Just canāt find time right now. Need to tear down the tomato vines too. With the unexpected vacation next month. Mind you itās paid for but if I donāt work I donāt get paid, so Iām working like a dog in between harvesting. My new shade plants should be here this month too. Want to mulch and really spiff up those beds. 2 of my bleeding hearts died off and my hosta. No idea if they come back or not or if they just hate my climate. I need to mulch back there too. Itās nice to have a bit more space to walk around in the garden now with 5 big plants harvested. It does make me feel like a complete slacker though looking at the weeds and overgrown grass out there. Winter is coming and the cannabis will be taking less of my time soon enough. I at least want to start a few tender perennials in a few starters though. Some stock, more annual phlox, pansies etcā¦ if nothing else.
Are you gonna plant cannabis again in the spring? Just curious.
Absolutely! For 20 characters
As much as you did this year? Lol
Yeah, itās hard not toā¦ heh. Good for you! somebody can use it!
Maybe, seeing as so far Iāve lost half to Mother Nature
Gave myself a 20 dollar budget (spent 31 ) and bought some more container plants. I truly canāt stand when things are dying back. I rotate them so the best flowers are by my back door. I see them the most and they make me happy. Anyway, got a bunch of $1.50 annuals, stock, snapdragons, dusty miller, ornamental kale, purple bacopa, pansy, violas, mums and 2 white impatiens that I planted directly into the shade garden. I wanted a couple flats of them for back there, but they only had colors and I want all white ones there. They are easy to come by though, so Iāll find some more. Oh yeah, I also got a dianthus that I stuck in the flamingo as the last violas died off. Iāll post some pics of my creations once I pot them. Dad is bringing his drill on Sunday, I need a few drainage holes in these cool galvanized metal buckets I found at the 99 cent store. They may be like ice buckets or something. Super cool though for plants! If any one else makes cheap planters out of cool shit, your welcome to share. lol Iāve always wanted to grow a plant in a work boot. Maybe I need a thrift store run.
How goes your SCROG build?
That is a winter project, after all the harvests and Iām back to being a flower farmer. lol
Winter has started up here alreadyā¦
Winter here is a relative term for Dec - Feb
