There are eight or nine different varieties. We are in central Wis. where there is normally an abundance of heat, yet we've barely broken 60 the last few days.
She does an amazing job in the flower gardens as well.

I think it was tubebender who commented upon the rabies problem in his area.
I would like to report that last husband (occasional FReeper coolbreeze) did his part last night in curbing the rabid raccoon population we have here in Accomack County. Well he did have a bit of assistance from the “ever alert” 11yo girl child and the 12 gauge.
This one was really unusual as it was a full grown male. In the past we’ve only had to deal with females and offspring messing with the outside cats’ food.
Dang those reports startled me, even though I knew to expect them.
Anyway, all Jax’ kitties are safe and sound (hubby said they were all under my car or his truck when ‘coon was around) and the county is minus one more raccoon that can no longer “spread his seed” so to speak :)
You just reminded me to go out and turn on the impulse sprinkler with the motion detector and set the big trap. We got 2 wire cages finished and covered 3 rows of the strawberries last night with 4 cages to go. I must learn to post photos. I was at the feed store today and found the answer to my Blueberry depredation in a roll of 1/2 Aviary wire (looks like mini chicken wire). It comes in 2’ 4’ and 6’ X 100 and will replace the bird netting...
Great looking tomatoes! Are they all the same variety? I can’t grow them here on the shore of Humboldt Bay but when we had a place in the hot part of the county we had lots of them. I made circular cages out of cement reinforcing wire four feet tall and two feet in diameter with a metal electrical conduit driven into the ground.

Will get some lime on those babies as soon as the sun goes behind the trees and the plants cool down a bit. T/Y for the input.
Beautiful! What a inspiration to all of us. Did you do the retaining wall and the fence and is there deer netting in the lower section? My wife starts hundreds of annuals each year and plants them in pots on the deck and in beds in the garden. We have cut way back on our vegetable gardens in recent years but spend more time in our Church gardens.
Thanks, Yup, we built the whole place, this is our fourth summer. There is deer netting below the lattice work...to much to risk otherwise.

Good morning from 100 gazillion degrees in Vegas. (spring has sprung, fall has fell, summer has come and it is hotter than ususal) Hoping I get back to a garden that has been gently rained on every day for the past 5 days. SW Ohio is dry as a bone. Busy month ahead ... our county is hosting the Ohio Maser Gardener Conference this fall. Lots to do in an aleady full schedule.
WOW!!!!!!!! Magnificent.
For some unknown reason flowers and I do not get along. I seem to have a complete and total black thumb when it comes to them.
Geez! Awesome home, I love it! The Jetsons entryway is wonderful. Character is tops with me. You’ve got a great place.
Ok, now I want to see interior shots.
My son and his sister’s daughter were in Vegas for a convention from Thursday through this morning and all my granddaughter had to say, it was 112 one day...
Love it!
I live on the Alabama gulf coast and could use some help concerning my Gladioulas. On internet sites, I see that people dig their bulbs each year so not to freeze them. The ground never freezes here, barely getting any freezing temps all winter. I have left them in the ground, but I have noticed that I do not have as many plants this year as I had in the past. I originaly planted about 50 bulbs 2 years ago, now only have about 30 this year. Is digging the bulbs neccessary when the ground doe not freeze? Or am I experiancing another problem. I used quality bulbs from an online source, and they are the most beautiful colors that I have ever seen, and I really hate to lose them. I planted about 50 more this year. Can anyone with deep south gladioulas experiance advise me?
I really enjoy these threads and photos, and wish that I could post photos here to share also.
Happy gardening to all!
We no longer grow Glads here on the shore of Humboldt Bay where it very rarely freezes but my wife stopped growing them because of the little corms that send up mini plants. They do not dig them here but there is a attrition rate due to little critters, insects and disease.
