One hosta, dug up, placed in wheelbarrow, moved, divided, and replanted yesterday. That's why it's #silentsunday today.

I’ve made a lot of gardening mistakes this spring. I want it too badly. I’ve planted things way too early. I’m wondering if gardeners in 1930’s Germany made the same mistakes. #gardening #zone7 #fascism

I’m new to zone 7. Climate change (shakes fist at sky)! Also the zone is different than the last frost. The zone only applies to what can survive winter.

I’ve been having words with Burpee on this this point. I think I’m going to break up with them. 💔 Capitalism + Plants =

Beard tongue and lupine foilage, very lush looking against very green section of lawn grass. Spring 2024 was really wet

Early days still, but 10 day forecast is promising

Collage of 6 blooms big butter yellow daffodils, bunch of small purple crocus low to ground, primula in yellow just emerging
Single purple crocus, the last of the small white snow drops

They spent the night on the dining room table bc of frost warnings, but the kale babies and lettuce seedlings are back out in sunny cold frame.

These were sown indoors in mid February
While the ones in plastic were sown outside at same time. If I manage space correctly, I can get jump start on cool season crops in #Zone7 #Connecticut

Hello #Gardening in #NewEngland
50° F weather here in #Zone7
First day of garden chores done
Pruned 3 roses closest to house
Warmest spot in the garden
Can feel it in my knees.
And wee spot in lower back
Birds singing the whole time!

Here is a picture of baby kale seedlings
(Still indoors)
