Some of the clutter in the yard.

Post by hardyjim »

I think the thing I enjoy hearing the most from people that see the garden is "Thanks" it always makes me chuckle for some reason.

Anyway,here are some pics from a couple days ago.

To bad the Castors are planted in an area a few feet lower than the rest of the yard because it slightly distorts how tall they really are.

Even the smaller Castors are 12'

I have really fallen in love with the color of these
Autumn joy (variegated) Sedum-just wish the plants were stronger...

Washy will probably end up with 20 leaves for the year.

Some of the Agaves have grown 15-20 leaves this year!

But thanks for sharing with your garden's photos anyway. And for your time, of course. I understand how much of your time you spend for taking pictures, downloading, uploading, discussing, explaining and etc. Plants are beautiful and your forums (not only PN) efforts are priceless!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I knew 2012 was going to be your best ever! :D
Interesting about the Lisa. Let us know how it does.
As for Brugs, well, I don't have any this year, but in the past, yes, this is when I'd get some of the best blooms.

Jim,

There's something almost PREHISTORIC about the second from last photo...except the stairs and plant pots, that is.
Almost expect some huge creature to walk through there munching away.

Everything looks so healthy.
You haven't got so much as a grasshopper bite on any of those leaves.

What a season you've had...20 leaves on that Washy is astounding.

When are you up-potting those Tesan?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Wow, everything looks like it grew a lot this summer. Are you going to use the same method to protect them for the winter your wire dome and plastic?
