It’s June and we have some fruits developing on our haskaps and strawberries; I think something has gotten to our serviceberries and plums though (curculio maybe). And so many more flowers!
Geraniums, Spurge, Lily of the Valley, and tricolor Willow:
Blackberries and Irises:
Rhododendron with a solitary bee:
Some of the weeds have been going haam too; I think I removed about 2 miles of Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) yesterday just from one garden area.
What’s growing on with you all?
oh they grow all over the place down here, I just heard somebody say that propagating them was hard so I figured I’d give it a shot. turns out it’s really easy so I’ve got like four of them now, though my backyard has probably 200 ft² of them growing naturally.
I’ve always fantasized about selling my props to local plant shops, but I never have a plan when I start propagating something. I found out how easy sage was to propagate, bought one plant and now I have a dozen and I don’t know what to do with them
I also start and prop way too many plants sometimes without a real plan for all of them… I say just offer them up somewhere! We’ve posted about them on some of our social media sites, or put up little “plants for sale” flyers at a nearby gas station and our town library. Even if you’re not going whole hog and going to market it would be a great way to share your work and maybe swap for some more awesome plants to play with.
