Back to myfolia for a new year...
Just shared myfolia with a friend and it spurred me to check my own profile, which I didn’t keep track of last year…now I will have to figure out all that I have done and insert it correctly. My new year plans are a native plant (edible/medicinal where I can, plants for the birds, but...Cloudy 28°C / 82°F -

The vine will be able to be pruned back even more this year. 2011 was a banner year for it. Most of the fruit was disease free and the berries very large. There was just too much of it! I had previously left over 20 main vines growing but will cut that back to only 10 or less. The fewer the bette...Sunny 7°C / 45°F -

This gift bloomed it’s first year in the ground. Pretty tiny white blooms in clusters on long stalks. The leaves are still green as we’ve had an incredibly mild winter. I let the blooms dry on the plant and scattered the seeds around the plant a week ago just in case they will grow on...Sunny 7°C / 45°F -

Storms 26°C / 79°F
Well, there aren’t too many blooms left but there are a few… and a few favorites. Both of the Caryopteris are nice, and despite it’s reputation I do like the Japanese Anemone which has been fairly well behaved in my garden. I am sorry to say that neither the Zinnias nor the Sunf...

After getting home from the allotment I still had the urge to garden so I emptied out some depleted containers into the City yard-waste bin and tidied up the parking area plantings. I wish this rain would let up so that I can get some real gardening done!Rainy 17°C / 63°F -

I was able to spend a couple of hours at the allotment today and spent most of it weeding, and thanks to the straw mulch on the beds most of the weeds came out easily. I thinned the sunchokes and tackled the interior paths before getting chased out by the rain. The peas seem relieved to be staked...Rainy 17°C / 63°F -

Garden 2011 Plan: Early February
Sage and Windowsill gardenLast year my garden had some great successes, and some miserable failures. I made a lot of changes and expansions to the garden in 2010, and some of the plants I thought were surefire wins were terrible losses, and vice versa. On the whole I had better luck with perennial plantings, with the exce...Windy -5°C / 23°F
