Garden Photos

Today was hot, but cooled off enough in the evening that I could shoot some pictures.


This is the linden seedling in the forest garden.  Someday this will be the main, full-size tree in this patch.  In addition to sweet flowers, it's resistant to wind and ice damage.

Sprouting from the jug is a dogwood.  Behind it are two different hostas and the hose from the sump pump.

This is a redbud surrounded by copious catnip.  Much of the time the forest garden looks like a giant patch of weeds, but there really are mindful choices growing in there.  The dogwood and the redbud will be understory trees.

Here is the mourning dove and her two squabs.  Look!  They have their feathers now.  :D

Lovely!
At the moment, I have a pink yarrow and a white yarrow blooming.

That sounds pretty. I know yarrow comes in many colors. I've only gotten it to bloom a few times, and it hasn't come back. But this one seems happy, so maybe it will thrive.

That's odd. It's a perennial where I am.

It is supposed to be perennial here too, just hasn't behaved that way. I suspect that it hasn't liked any of the places I've planted it.

I've got mine planted beside our gravel lane where the limestone gravel mixes with our clay soil. I think yarrow likes to still pretend to be a weed.
