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?

Both, The flowers for looking and the Collards for eating. And they look good too. Good Growing!
Hmmm, I'd have to lean towards the plants that you can eat but those flowers look great too. Tough one.
:)
Definitely a tie, for me, because I also love the glaucous look of the collard leaves. Actually, you could use a couple of those in an arrangement and they'd look quite stunning. But I'm sure they're even more delicious than they are beautiful
Hi again, I was wondering if you wanted to exchange links.
I already added you to my garden blogs link. Thanks
They are both lovely.
Aiyana
Both are absolutely beautiful! Well done! :)
The colors of the coneflowers and the coreopsis together are beautiful.
