Edges & Borders in your Garden
Mowing the yard this summer has been a daunting task. Not that it’s been harder, but what I see around the yard while mowing reminds me of work needing to be done. You can tell from the photo below I really dislike weedeating. Mine… Continue Reading “Edges & Borders in your Garden”

Oh the butterfly bush. It was once explained to me this plant is like twinkies for Pollinators. Has nectar, but isn't the best nutrient source. Also, it is an invasive plant. I think some are sterile, but they're also in the cusp of our hardiness zone so there can be a lot of die back. I don't ever use them in my designs and advise to replace them with something native, but... This one sure is pretty! #butterflybush
Lots of garlic scapes and I never know how to use them all! I've tried the pesto and too spicy for me. Tried pickling them and too spicy for me too. Sometimes I use it like garlic in dishes. I will probably freeze some and give away some to friends. #garlicscapes #garlic #growinggarlic
Clematis pitcheri, such a pretty native clematis! I was stoked the day I realized I got these to germinate from seed, it took 2 years! #clematispitcheri #nativeclematis #purpleleatherflower
Patience is waiting 4 years for your black raspberry to produce a single fruit. But they have been so worth it! Maybe it heard I took out all my blackberries because they didn't produce... #blackraspberry #raspberries
With this fancy mesh netting and a few pvc pipes, the kale, collards, and dill are protected from the butterflies. I planted some extra dill outside this garden bed for the black swallowtail butterflies. #vegogarden #kale #collards #growinggreens #raisedbedgardening #suburbanhomestead #growyourownfood #growingfood
