I'll put together a thread later today. After lunch, I have some gardening chores to complete, including moving a rose bush that currently occupies the location where the new heat pump is going. Stay tuned.

Some pre-work gardening this morning, lifting rocks and digging trenches to neaten up this border.
And now, off to my day job, where I'm going to lift virtual rocks and dig metaphorical trenches. Fun fun.

Time to cut the garlic scape

We inherited an Asian plum tree with our house. For the first couple of years, it produced nothing. Last year it started producing some tart plums, perfect for jams. This year looks to be a bumper crop. This was just my first 30 minutes of harvesting from what I could reach on the ground! #gardening

After decades in the U.S., Iranians arrested in Trump’s deportation drive
Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years,
married a U.S. citizen and raised their daughter.
She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers handcuffed and took her away, her family said.
Kashanian arrived in 1978 on a student visa and applied for asylum,
fearing retaliation for her father’s support of…

After decades in the U.S., Iranians arrested in Trump’s deportation drive
Some Iranians are getting arrested by immigration authorities after living decades in the United States. 'Who picks up a grandmother?' says the husband of a detained woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years.

Dahlias, Eryngium, Verbena bonariensis, Agapanthus and Crocosmia, all in June rather than July onwards.

We took a break from unpacking and organizing and did tour of local greenhouses and garden centres. We came across this humble establishment in Bradford that takes up 10 acres of growing and retail space. My wife said she has found her new favourite place. The Bad News - it's too close, only 15 minutes by car. The Good News - we have a tiny yard, so we might not go broke.

Time to thin the Apples! 🍏 🍎
Both the blushing delight and northern spy planted last year are doing fantastic.
The new northern spy planted in March has not faired well. I had to remove it from its spot to try to rehabilitate it in a pot. Prognosis is not good.
But the new plum is doing well.

I started the morning with the objective of putting the plants we brought from our old house into our new yard. But I quickly realized all the tools I needed were sprinkled throughout my disorganized garage. So I spent 3 hours ripping out old cabinets left by the previous owners to make some space and then hunting through our piles of stuff to find the garden tools. Got most of it organized, so at least I can actually put my hands on stuff. A small step forward.

Another week, another essay. This time, it's an essay for the Florilegium, my native plant gardening blog, a deep dive into the Japanese garden aesthetic in the United States, why it is not just lazy but harmful in so many ways and what alternative might we seek. Link in the comments.

Ended up with a little over 10 lbs of Asian plums from our plum tree which I hope will make some lovely jelly this fall.

AI would have done the patterns slightly wrong, relative to the mathematically perfect patterns that nature produces deterministically. https://ecoevo.social/@danmccullough/114698742002848774

Prepare for a long journey to the Dark Side (of gardening)! We're starting a 22-hour 3D print of a Stormtrooper Helmet Plant Pot tonight, soundtracked by cantina tunes and synthwave beats. Don't miss "3D Printer Adventures"! https://www.twitch.tv/tuxramus

The first true garden products of the season - rhubarb jam and syrup! The second is the perfect ingredient for homemade soda/cocktails on a hot summer day. In a few years, when the plants are a bit older, we'll get much more.

The first crop of blackberries are ripe, ready and delicious. Now the race is on between us, the birds and the neighbor children to see who can get the most over the next couple of weeks. 🤣🤣🤣 🌱

It's only a week away until the moving truck arrives and puts an end to our 16 years in Caledon. Today, I'm taking some time to squeeze in 9 holes of golf with my brother, who has a cottage close to our new home. My car is packed with 11 different plants that we split from our current garden, over 70 individual plants for the new house. Two planters will have to wait for the next trip.

It is so nice how the #pandemicpond is maturing now. This is its 5th summer! Can't believe it. The bog filter has made a massive difference for the water clarity and keeping down the algae. The first pic below is from this time last year and you can see the algae clouding and sliming everything.
Two years ago I started planting some moss around rocks in the stream and it has filled in really nicely and naturally. It also served to trap seeds I think and grass and other "weeds" but I like that it just looks more and more like a normal stream. We even have a marsh marigold at the top of the stream (last pic) that we did not plant that came from one that was in the top pond and was eaten by deer. 🦌
