six on Saturday, 19 March 2022

Wildflowers and budding shrubs are the headliners of the garden this week. There are a few fading daffodils and the hellebores as well providing some pale color, but this week I focus on the coming rather than the going. Before I begin, I want to remind readers to visit The Propagator, our Six on Saturday …

It has been two months since I've written a Six on Saturday post, although there have been several Wordless Wednesday photos. My schedule, the weather, and the garden just did not seem conducive to a longer post. In the meantime, I hope readers have been going to the site of The Propagator to view his …

1. My six for today are taken from the final days of some things and the early days of a few others. The first is the mum in the featured image that has beaten all odds to become a lovely perennial in a pot. For at least three years this plant defied neglect and a …

1. I have three natives, one invasive, and two basics for this week. I'll start with the basics, or at least one of the yard basics for this area of the Southeast--lantana. Bees, butterflies, and even occasional hummingbirds visit it. The perennial plants below are very basic big box varieties purchased three years ago. The …

1. I've signed a temporary peace agreement with the sunflower seed eating squirrels and the nectar drinking raccoon this week.  So, after sharing their profile photos below, I'll offer a quick rundown of what is blooming throughout the garden.  Squirrel and raccoon thank The Propagator for providing the forum for making their food gathering skills …

Five of this week's six are things that surprised me as I did some general clean up in the garden this week.  The sixth is just something bright and cheerful.  I'm sure you can find a more coherent set of entries by visiting the site of The Propagator, the hub of our Six on Saturday …

This Saturday's six will be a quick rundown of what is blooming in the garden now.  Most are natives; there are two notable exceptions of Asian import. 1. The first, and I do mean first, is the oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia).  It is the Alabama State Wildflower, and it is blooming generously throughout the garden …

My six for this week are yellow, purple, and promising of good things to come.  Before I start, though, I want to remind readers that they, too, can join in Six on Saturday by going to the site of the Propagator and following the participant guidelines.  While there, look at the comments on the current …

I have not posted anything for Six on Saturday for a few weeks now; the reason can be found in the featured photo above.  The storms that ravaged the Southeast U.S. on Easter Sunday, 12 April 2020, took with them several trees on the fringes of the wooded portion of the garden and one in …
