six on Saturday, 25 June 2022

Black-eyed Susans head up this set of six on Saturday entries in part because I especially like them--in fact, rather consider them name sakes. They bloom in mid-June right around my birthday, and I am a Susan. But they also signal a shift in my work routine in the wooded area of the garden. Until …

six on Saturday, 26 March 2022

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 …

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 …

A Garden by Another Name. . .

A conundrum seems the best thing to call it.  It is a question that has arisen several times while working on a “Six on Saturday” post.  In reporting on what’s going on in the garden at Highland Lake, I often make a distinction between the area in front of the house that has several clearly …

six on Saturday, 26 February 2022

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, 29 January 2022

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, 6 November 2021

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 …

six on Saturday, 7 August 2021

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 …

six on Saturday, 19 June 2021

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 …
