Learned this weekend of the beautiful Carmichaelia genus, Aotearoa's native brooms. C. stevensonii is a charming swap for a weeping cherry/willow look; C. williamsii amazingly textural, almost like a seaweed or succulent, but a shrub. Both butterfly food. Excited to see how they do in the #garden
Sitting in my #garden, sipping coffee, reading #KilledByATrafficEngineer, watching people blast through an all-way stop... Lots of feels this Sunday morning
@Bianca and I only picked green beans for 5 minutes this morning and this is how much we got.
We have thousands and thousands of green beans out there in the garden, so we're going to have really get to picking them over the next couple of days.
I mentioned to my husband that every time I go out to pick the half dozen ripe strawberries, they are gone.
Like poof.
There is no evidence of critters. No partially eaten berries. It looks like someone picked and ate them.
I noted that I saw one ripe one and got a photo when I watered today.
I asked if he or Summer had any idea what's going on.
They said they had no idea.
As I was walking out of the room, I heard him tell Summer they must have missed one.
These two are incorrigible. #Garden
I like the #flowers of this #plant but it is growing out of a gap in #concrete by the porch and garage. I think it must have propagated from a neighbour’s #garden many years ago. I tried to take a cutting and plant it in some soil in the back garden but it withered away. Evidently, it only likes rocky conditions. Can anybody tell me the species?
