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 …
My garden is essentially green these days, except for a few spots of color from some very worn black-eyed Susans and yellow rosin weed flowers, and from my favorite wildflower, excepting those black-eyed Susans--the Carolina lily (Lilium michauxii) pictured in the featured image. I remember that when I first saw this graceful, colorful flower I …
1. I have to begin my six on Saturday today with Blackeyed Susans because I consider them a namesake, and they bloom at the time of my birthday in mid June. (For those reading After Eden in email, I remind you to click on the blue post title and view it in your browser to …
1. My offerings today are neither unusual nor terribly enlightening, but they do represent what is going on in the garden right now.

I'm posting much later than usual this Saturday after a Thursday of watching at least 14 tornadoes skip across Alabama, sitting for a while in my safe place with a bicycle helmet on, and discovering that the storms blew out my internet modem and now not-so-smart tv. Surely there are already dozens on lovely SoS …

1. Plants are finally beginning to bloom! The daffodils and the hellebores are the most energetic right now. And they begin my six today. First the daffodils, which are blooming in bunches throughout the wooded area of the garden. I can't specify a particular variety other to say they are Daffodil Gert's garden, that is …
