Some pics from my zone 3 garden in early July 2014
Comments (27)Hi marcia, thanks for the tip! I will watch out for that lychnis!!! I saw that in my parents' yard in BC and it was in a shaded and moist area, so it was tiny. Therefore, I dug it up and flew it back with me LOL. A year later, it's now this huge clump! My parents could not believe it LOL!!! I guess I may not believe it later either.... ROTFLOL! As for the Black Lace, please try it. It's so worth it! Even though we had such a rough winter this past year, it still came back from the base and is now over 3 feet tall. It's just a lovely thing. Donna, thank you! I actually have a Bugbane Chocoholic and is doing quite well. However, it has been "eaten alive" by that 3 feet tall Geranium Rozanne!!!!!!!!! LOL! That Geranium acts like it's on steroid or something and so I probably will need to move that poor Bugbane elsewhere next year so it will be more visible.... As for the Rodgersia, I am so happy to hear that it's hardy here! I actually saw that for the very first time just recently in the Botanical Garden in Newfoundland and I was very impressed by it. However, when I looked it up online, it was listed as a zone 5 plant. So I was disappointed. However, I am pleased to hear that it's really a hardy plant! Donna, do you have a photo of that please? I would love to see yours! Thanks so much....See Moreyour garden ready for the 4th?
Comments (11)Very nice pictures everyone. I didn't even try to find red white and blue but its the theme of the day. The of July is a big deal here on my street each year as the local fireworks are at the beach and park across the street each year. Its a mad house here from late afternoon on until the park clears out after the fireworks. There is music in the park each year all afternoon and evening until fireworks time. I can't ever remember it all being cancelled due to bad weather, guess weather has just run lucky....See MoreJune 4th date for plant exchange and 'gardening tea'
Comments (57)Pauline, thank you so much for hosting! I had a good time and took home many wonderful plants. I have been busy and have not been online or done planting. Yes, I'll bring eggs. Who has a young boy? I found the following Chinese Master Sauce Braised Beef Recipe online: http://www.dinnertool.com/recipe/view/33137/Chinese-Master-Sauce-Braised-Beef It is pretty close to my recipe, except I would use rock sugar (raw sugar crystals)instead of regular sugar, rice wine instead of Scotch whisky or dry sherry, and add: 1 cup dark soy sauce 2 T star anise 1 T Sichuan pepper You can buy all of the ingredients in most Asian stores. You can use this recipe for any meat (e.g. chicken and pork) and peeled hard boil eggs. Happy cooking!...See MoreSept 3rd & 4th pics
