six on Saturday, 7 May 2022

1. I begin this week's six where I began last week's with the Blount County Master Gardeners' plant sale. But instead of announcing the sale, I'm reporting on my purchases: marigolds, wave petunias, hydrangea paniculatas, impatiens, columbines, coleus, Asian lilies, basil, a massive hanging pot begonia, and one very tall Japanese maple that was just …

A pretty quick six today. It is Blount County Master Gardener plant sale weekend. There was setup on Friday, labeling, pricing, and arranging plants at the Oneonta, Alabama, Agribusiness Center. Then the sale is today. I think that our own Master Gardeners buy just about as many plants as we sell. These plant sales are …

Spring, in shades of yellow-green and pollen covered, has arrived here in Blount County Alabama. The following six items offer a pretty good sense of what's going on in the garden. 1. I'll make the pollen point with a photo of one of the birdbaths. The rocks are in the bowl because a year or …

Today's six are a simply gallery of native wildflowers and one small native shrub growing in the wooded part of the garden this week. They are Alabama snow wreath (Neviusia alabamensis) in the large photo. Top right is false garlic, also known as crow poison (Nothoscordum bivalve). Below that is Philadelphia or daisy fleabane (Erigeron …

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 …

I am posting on Saturday, but this week's six reflect the whole of another erratic week of weather in Alabama. Maybe you will find a kinder and more consistent Spring at the site of The Propagator or the many fine gardeners who join in this weekly garden celebration. So, on to the first. 1. My …

six on Saturday , 12 February 2022

We've finally had several days of seasonal afternoon temperatures and sun--offering the opportunity for some major clean-up. That is what four of my six for today are about. 1. The first has to do with eliminating as many greenbriar vines as I could in the wooded part of the garden. The weather was warm and …

1. Today's six will be quick and simple--just enough to prove that something is going on in the garden in spite of the schizophrenic weather we have been having in Alabama. One plant that can be counted on regardless of temperature shifts, however, is the hellebore pictured below and in the featured photo. I can't …

six on Saturday, 13 November 2021

Color and texture are the threads that hold my six together this Saturday. It's fall so you'd expect that color to be dominated by yellow, orange, and red. But I've got a little purple to add as well. Before I get to the photos, though, I have an aside--fall versus autumn. According to Merriam-Webster, both …

I returned to the lake after being away two weeks and found wet leaves, leaves, and leaves. And there are many more to fall. The featured photo and the one below were taken after I had already cleared the driveway (car smashed wet leaves on concrete are a double, staining mess). Unfortunately, it has not …
