Gardening Thread - Show me your gardens!

Worked outside last night.
Apples are coming along


And we need to eat more salads, while lettice and spinach are still producing.



Bugs are eating kale, so I treated it.

 

hmm seems scammy, "please return out money we mistakenly refunded you"

 

Yeah weird but i got deposit back

 

@shakerhood hows your raspberry looking? I split mine up. Not sure if they will fruit this year or not.

 

They seemed to start out really good and then only went downhill from there, the black raspberries have that same disease or fungus that I have unfortunately been fighting for the past few years too. On the good side, the Apache Blackberry has so many berries forming now that it honestly looks like the branches will be leaning over by the time they start to ripen, literally counted 43 berries forming at just the tip of one branch!

 

My blackberries are coming along nicely
I have to tie mine up otherwise wind whips them and breaks them at base. I have some good primocanes sprouting

 

Use pig fencing to build a trellise. I think I had posted a pic earlier in the thread. We had some strong winds and I have not had any canes break.

 

i got 3 dragonfruit clippings a couple of months ago… I started to root them in small pots before i put them in a container with a trellis…

i accidentally snapped one in half by stepping over the containers… so i let it callous and then stuck it in the dirt, too.

I saw these little budding pieces today

 

It has started

 

First berries are always the largest on this bush.

 

Is that a pink lemonade?

 

Yes it is! Probably my favorite blueberry. Kitchen smells like blueberry wine when we make jam from it.

 

Linden is blooming. Picked some today, not much, still have several bags left from last year.


Drying it now.

 

What is it used for?

 

Linden??

 

Yes, fatfingered. Little leaf or European Linden.

 

Best thing around for flus, cold and coughs.
We make hot tea with dry linden flowers (and flower leaves, I did not pick any this year), loose black tea and honey.
