gardening update

[witchscauldron]

These are pretty simple...I am not a gardener, really - I just know how to plant seeds.

Lots of flowers - this bed is the better of the two - it doesn't seem to dry out as much. Nasturtiums need TONS of water to grow well. The little gully of rocks in the middle is from a bad gutter that drops water really hard when it rains. Not ideal, but they seem to be flourishing, and eventually they'll cover the whole bed and climb the walls.

WHEAT! - the wheat from my Bríd shrine is growing brilliantly well. I expect it will happily stand up against the stoop there, and be tall. One nasturium is growing over there, out of the umpteen seeds I actually planted. That bed is much dryer than the one on the other side.

Not Lots of Flowers - This is coming along. I had given up hope of flowers here, but in the last couple of weeks 4 or 5 have come up scattered around the flowerbed. The weirdest thing is that that green-white plant in the middle is an annual, and yet it has come back every year now for 3 years running. Weird!

In between this picture and the one of the wheat should be one of a lil' cedar tree - there's 2 more nasturtiums coming up in that area. I have a feeling that if they come up enough the plant will climb the tree, and that amuses me.

I wish I could see the pictures but the link never lets me see them. right now it's telling me the redirect isn't working.

Weird. I've never had any problems with the links and graphics.

I have been denied access to your pictures at least twice now. I think it was the last couple of times you posted them.

I can't ever see your pix either, but I can imagine beautifully from your comments

I wonder why that is. It's just a link - you should be able to access them that way. Normally they're hotlink-protected, so you have to view them in my journal if I've posted them as a graphic - but this way you should just be able to click the link and the picture will show up.

Ah Problem solved. I just had to go to your page and the links worked. no more friends-page skimming when Morg has pictures!

Hey Birdy, Mom says your "mystery plant" is a Dusty Miller. Unless it doesn't continue to get more grey, then it's a weed.
Everything that grows where you don't want it to is a weed though... o_O
Oh, and there's both annual and perannual types...

Well, my landlady planted it and she said it was an annual, so I gotta take her word for it. :p

LIES! All of them!

Don't eat it.

My god, it's full of stars!!!



I went camping. There was vodka. I may still be hungover. And now I have to go grocery shopping... *hangs head brokenly*
