Can anybody put a name to this? I bought it at a local greenhouse and it's hardy, but it didn't have a name tag. Sedum? What variety?
The potato bag got away from me. It's growing well, but I didn't get dirt added in soon enough and I had long stems so I stopped adding more soil. No flowers yet. I cut slits and put a few marigolds at the bottom. They also are doing well.
The dahlias are starting to bloom. This unnamed one was a Mother's Day gift from Chris and family
The Rat's Tail Radish is very large. This is actually a few plants. They are a great aphid attractor! I finally have little seed pods on them for eating. Boy, are they spicy! Bob likes them. I might, but with this cough spicy food is not an option right now.
Teaspoon Tomato in a coir basket. It is right by the front door and the pond which is good because it dries out really fast. I planted little pansies at the base on several of the tomato plants and really am enjoying them. And the tomato has set some tiny fruit. These tomatoes are only supposed to be about 1/2 inch in diameter. My first year with them - they were from the Wintersown package.
A red dahlia from last years tuber. I stored all of my dahlia tubers wrong - dug them, put them on an old cookie sheet to dry on the back porch (heated, but cool), ended up leaving them there all winter so they were all dry and wrinkly this spring - and yet they grew. Last year was my first year with dahlias. I guess they're not as fussy as the articles imply! Good to know.
And last, a little resident in one of our ponds. I sure love hearing them croak around the house at night.
Sande- your potato bags is so full already! I am using these same bags and so far they look wonderful. I hope we have a good harvest! Good luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteYour potato bag looks great. My bin and compost bag potatoes need lots of attention tomorrow. They can sure grow fast. The rat tailed radish is an interesting addition. I have read about it but never tried. Do you eat the whole pod & seeds?
ReplyDeleteDan, the seed pods to the rat's tail radish are pretty small - maybe 1 1/2 inches long and about 1/8 inch diameter. You eat the whole pod. They're actually very tasty if you like radishes and meant as an addition to salads. This is my first time growing them.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened with the potatoes I'm growing in a trash can. Not sure what I'll have when I pull it out. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the frog.
Rat-tailed radish is very interesting! I've never heard of that before, thanks for showing it.
ReplyDeleteAs far as your mystery plant, I have one of those but I bought it at my local garden center as a succulent houseplant... so I don't think that it's hardy. But when I go back to the garden center next week (I work there part time) I'll ask what it is--I believe that we have more there in the greenhouse.
Cute frog!
ReplyDeleteI found a toad in my strawberry patch!
The first plant is a Echeveria nodulosa...
