Gardening in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
A month after spring officially started there’s finally enough happening in my garden to share six things, and to finally join Jim at Garden Ruminations again in his Six on Saturday meme.We had a nice cold temperatures and a decent amount of snow this past winter, for a change, I might add, which delayed by […]
Although we’re well into autumn, a lovely south wind is bringing balmy, 20c/70f degrees and sunshine this weekend – thanks Texas and Florida! A few light overnight frosts this past week have, unfortunately, succeeded in killing off the more tropical annuals (Tithonia and Lablab purpurea are not a pretty sight…), while leaving some of the […]
Remnants from another hurricane – Debbie, she was called – made it very wet in Eastern Canada yesterday. Happily, I took a few photos of the garden on Thursday so that I might join Jim at Garden Ruminations for Six on Saturday. I’ll start off with a few splashes of red – nice for hummingbirds […]
I braved hordes of hungry mosquitoes earlier this morning, in between swimming and gymnastics events being broadcast from Paris, to snap a few photos in my yarden, joining Jim at Garden Ruminations in this weekly worldwide roundup of What’s Happening in your Garden. We’ve had just a few drops of rain this week – the […]
A quick Six for a busy and beautiful weekend – to see six things in gardens all over the world take a look at our host’s site – Garden Ruminations. Mid July to mid August is prime coneflower season, including in my island bed which is chock full of mostly self seeded purple and white […]
Another soggy Saturday – glad to have cut the grass yesterday; also glad to have taken a few flower photos so that I can again join Jim and his crew with Six on Saturday – six things in the garden this week. I’ll start with these Asiatic lilies – ‘Tinilco’ – now at their peak. […]
I remember last week with fondness….it was chilly at night, sunny and warm during the day. Perfect late spring conditions for doing just about anything outdoors. Then the heat dome creeped in and summer arrived like a switch being turned on…ugh! We have survived, of course, and so has the garden. In fact, the high […]
Officially summer next week, with temperatures forecast to be very summer-like, but this week it’s still spring, with very cool days that have helped blooms last longer and two inches of rain Thursday overnight, encouraging the veggies, in particular, to put on bursts of growth. Jim hosts SIx on Saturday at Garden Ruminations and I’ll […]
I imagine if I go through my blog posts from years gone by I’ll come across the phrase ‘…never looked better…’ quite often, but truly, this year my spring garden has never looked better! Flower stalks seem taller, colours seem more vibrant, critter damage is much less obvious…perhaps my eyes are getting older and my […]
It’s been a perfect week in the garden.
