How does your garden grow?

I think im going to plant a climbing rose against my house this weekend. Like this except my house isnt this cute

 

I think we have some of those too. My garden this year is a surprise. Lota of stuff coming up now, but no idea what the previous owners planted.

 

I find they don't need too much attention. but damn they hurt my hands lol. and my dog is weary of them too when he comes out the side gate.

 

You will have to give it a couple of years to figure out what's actually there. Some things that may appear to be weeds may not actually be weeds if the previous owner used any type of wildflowers or ornamental grasses.

 

I got some blueberry plants
And I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing my irises blossom

 

Beware of thorns...

 

Meliai: "Then i want to do some ornamentals" Marigolds are supposed to keep bugs away from your tomatoes. Nasturtiums ares said to keep away cucumber beetles.

 

I haven't lived anywhere I could grow a garden -- not enough sunshine. This year I have two large containers. One for tomatoes and the other for cucumbers. I plan to brine ferment the cucumbers because I like the taste and the probiotics. Wish I had room for cabbage to make sauerkraut.

 

We need to get the new sheet on the tunnel. Garden is 80% dug over. Courgettes, runner beans and cucumbers have been started in their pots. I'm really looking forward to having rocket and other leaves growing.

First frost free day where I live is May 10. That means it has never frosted here after May 10. I wait until then to put out temperature sensitive plants.

 

this is a pine:

 

Dug out the 2017 compost heap. Earth is fucking beautiful. Also I found a missing kitchen knife and a favourite teaspoon I didn't even realise was lost.

 

I'm always reminded of Can - Mary Mary, quite contrary when I see this thread

 

Ferns are awesome. You might want to put them under some green shade cloth so they don't burn their leaves when in the sun

 

Tiny little yellow courgettes appearing.. (zucchini for everyone else)

 

Zucchini are yellow? LOL! I haven't ever seen that.

 

You can get yellow ones : )
We have green growing too

 

Here in Seattle fungi grow on hillsides, and the slime mold oozes down towards the docks where the tourists hang out.

 

If I'm not mistaken, yellow zucchini would be what we refer to as squash here
