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

My project that I completed yesterday. An old patio umbrella base, a fence post from a big box store, two old wall brackets for flower baskets, a couple of bird feeders that were on sale at CanTire, and a repurposed squirrel baffle. About $100 in total cost, not including the black oil seed. It's positioned right outside our sunroom for bifd watching, by us and our cat Casper.

Cemeteries nationwide are coming up with creative ways to "liven up" their wide-open green spaces.
From a beekeeping collective in Seattle to “Night of Grief” karaoke in Washington DC,
cemetery owners say events help them reconnect with the local community
and sometimes bring in some much-needed funds.
Visitors say they enjoy the cool vibe, family- and dog-friendly areas and innovative ideas.
Cemeteries have always been community spaces in the United …

The oregano is doing well this year! 🍝 So is the poison ivy... ☠️

Today on 3D Printing Adventures Penguin Style!: We're building an AT-AT - Star Wars Plant Pot! Because nothing says "gardening" like a giant, four-legged war machine. May the force (and the filament) be with us! https://www.twitch.tv/tuxramus

The one great consolation of yard work in this already stifling humidity is the chance to take a short break to pick some fresh and wonderfully ripe blackberries to enjoy with a cool breakfast. 🌱

All that was left after the kids took a run at the currant bush. We actually had a pretty good crop this year...

It's the season of summer fetes, and that means the old rivalries are kindled. Family vs family, down the ages. The poor judging decisions of yesteryear shall be visited upon the unsuspecting innocents of tomorrow. It is the way.

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

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.

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.

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. 🤣🤣🤣 🌱

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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. 🦌

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.

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.

It’s already 25°C and I am dripping with sweat… but a slight modification had to be completed! Made a shelf in the main #poolpond area to hold a milk crate, which will hold one of the pumps.
I decided it was critical to have circulation from the bottom of the pool including taking water from the bottom to send to the filter. But since the main pump area is in the intake bay/skimmer I would have had to bring a pipe up and over the wall and down into pool. (The pumps must be submerged in at least 6” of water at all times)
This would be inefficient and potentially have air lock problems… so I pulled back the three layers of liner and cloth and excavated a little nook in the already semi hidden back corner.
This will have to do. :) the sun was already coming over the house. The rubber liner gets very hot 🥵. Glad it didn’t take too long.
There will be a rock or some sort of wall below and in front of the crate to further support and hide it.
Oh, and now that the liner and stuff is all back, the 🐜 ants can go back to their regularly scheduled ant-ing.
