@MelsGarden. Good afternoon #zone9b. We potted up a few herbs for a gardening fix. We still don’t have the lizards living here yet. The forecast is snow and ice and rain. Moisture would be good. #zone4b. The drought map has Iowa droughtier. The noon meal included the final frozen asparagus of 2023. #growyourown, #minnesota.
Rudbeckia from seed, a good addition to more water-wise/arid gardens. #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Gardening #Zone9b
The chives are happy this season, looking forward to harvesting a bunch of seeds. #BloomScrolling #Gardening #Zone9b
Lazy web, does anyone know what this amazing alien looking plant is? It's growing in a few people's front yards locally in San Diego and if it's native I'd like to add it to my yard. Thank you!

@richrollgardener Thanks. 1st greenhouse. 3 seasons and still go in it when empty. Couldn't travel for covid so we built that for an anniversary. Tried to make it versatile with fold down shelves, holes in center of rafters, and rods along sides for hanging. Turned out convenient, after trying twine and t-posts, ended up chaining up cattle panels for the tomatoes.
@TruffleDogs @richrollgardener I try in December, missed out last year on getting some 'naked bear' squash, lucky this year.
Want a chuckle? I wondered how the soft shelled pumpkin seeds were hulled. I had no idea they were separate varieties. pffft.
@richrollgardener I have basement space w/heat mats and fan and still I risk damp rot or drying out. Temperate here so I can put out most by mid-March but some just don't grow and then I have to fight off late snails and birds and keep fingers crossed there is not late frost or rain. Better: I have fold down shelves in the greenhouse and still... late frost or too hot during the day. Nothing is better than nature.
Seeds are here, this year I am not going to start early. Seedlings just don't grow until days are bright and warm. Prefer to stay inside on these frosty or rainy days, watch the birds through the windows and the garden at rest, and break out the worksheet and plan what this year's vegetable rotation will look like.
Waiting for a few items from Burpee. Botanical Interests, Renee's and Territorial have arrived. #Vegetables: beet-gold broccoli carrot chard collard leek lettuces onion-spring pea squashes tomato. I'm not growing as many varieties this year. Looking forward to seeds from the 'naked bear'.
#Flowers: amaranth foxglove larkspur snapdragon sweetpea yarrow zinnia. A few for pollinators, mostly fillers for bouquets and sweet pea for gifting.
