Gardening Thread - Show me your gardens!

I sure did! But @OneGiraffe is good people, so we can split.

 

You are too far away for me to join the "Me, Me, I want some too!" party. But I would join if I lived closer.

 

Raspberrys starting....^^


Bunch primacanes in this blackberry



Black berry forming

 

Tilled yesterday eve and got preen out. Woke to a thunderstorm this morning so hopefully it wasn’t too hard a rain.

 

you need this...

 

currently working on a garden/greenhouse for the gf. its still a work in progress, gotta pull the support boards (the 2x4s) and replace them with 4x4s for the upper supports to do the roof. not sure what kind of glass or plastic stuff to use yet but its at least a start. we plan to dig out the ground a bit so the plots are level with the pathway.

atm all we got is strawberries in a small box lol

 

Blueberries are starting to ripen. Another 3 weeks and we'll have 1st berries of the season.

 

I think im trailing behind you a ways. But i got them covered, so we will see what i get.

 

I am ahead of everybody else around me by a month. My blueberries are not normal for the area (someone at worked bitched and complained last year when I brought in fresh blueberries at the end of May). We lucked out and planted them just in the right spots, with good micro-climates, a reverse of a "cold pocket" (shielded from the wind, sunny, places where it stays a few degrees warmer than elsewhere on the property), plus we have 6 or 8 varieties, so we hedged our bets as to what blooms when and what gets hit by a late frost and what does not.

PS We collected a couple dozen of paw-paw seeds last week, so if anyone wants them, and travels this way, PM me.

 

Mine says early july to ripen.

 

Strawberries are looking good so far.

 

Getting lots of rain.

 

Apache Blackberry bush is loaded with buds. Last year it got established and produced a few berries but they honestly did not taste too good, hopefully this year they are better.

 

I was off by 2 weeks exactly. Picking first blueberries tonight, when it cools down. Tried some at lunch and were GOOD.
Hot weather and extra rains helped.

 

Looks good!

 

Both elderberries were roughly hacked out of the ground and moved - both making flower heads

 

They are tough

 

cut out this section in the hillside with a plan in mind (down the driveway on a hill). I cleared it, leveled it, ran irrigation up, put together a cheap trellis gazebo, decided on the plants and this is the growth since planting the roses and clematis in fall. First flowers last week. I think once it establishes itself the roses will provide a lot of shade for the birds and such.









This is looking down at night and the trellis is on the hillside on the right marked by the wooden star I had laying around from xmas.
