An enabling site for the horticulturally obsessed. Life around my urban plot is green! (except in the middle of winter in Canadian zone 5a then it's mostly sludgy brown and white.)
What's going on in the garden?
Updated Sept 9 - the pest report
My cabbage was attacked by head rot because some of them split though most of the Mammath red rock was a-ok. Carrots have some bite marks but the beets look and taste fab. My alliums were raded by leek moth which not surprisingly nabbed all the leeks and left the perennial onions sparse. Garlic chives were more or less unaffected. This is the fourth year running that the chinese lanterns have kept the colorado potato beetle away from my solanums and I saw nary a cucumber beetle this year but then again I was away.
Do I have hortiphilia?
Worried that you may be afflicted?

Lovely thing, the trillium. Our red ones are in bloom, the white one is barely up but is going to flower (new to our garden last year) and the yellow has returned too. I hope to get a painted one this year from a friend who specializes in growing native plants.
Trilliums are lovely. My red ones are still in bloom, but won't be for much longer. Hope you are enjoying the long weekend.
I've been hankering after some Trilliums for a few years now. These are lovely.
Your trillium is gorgeous.
I don't have any. I wonder if they're more of an East Coast plant?
I'm beginning to think that my garden is out of synch with all of the other garden's in my zone. My white trilliums have already bloomed and died off.
Your trillium photos are beautiful! The white grandiflorums always remind me of home, too... :)
