Blooming and almost blooming in the garden: peonies were glorious but are almost finished, geranium ‘Delft Blue’ just beginning to bloom, thalictrum, forgetting the species but it isn’t a native one, astrantia nearly ready to start, and baptisia in fabulous bloom next to the bronze fennel. Loving these friends who bloom while most of the garden is just green.
hey tumblr, dunno if this is of interest to you but i am gonna gardenpost at you cus it's really brought me a lot of happiness and i wanna share that, if possible!
here is the greenhouse we recently finished constructing
i love this guy. the garlic I planted in troughs outside it isn't far off done! maybe another month or so
inside the greenhouse, the tomatoes and peppers are becoming a thing! those flowers will turn into fruit and then into a dinner yum yum
the inside of the greenhouse! I have like 3 types of chili going cus chilis are best. also outside there's a bunch of plums on the little plum tree but I know I will never have these, they are destined for birdsnacks. i accept this
some blooms arriving in the garden proper, this peony hates me and will only do one flower total but that is its right. I planted those bellis daisies this year and I'm stoked at how well they've taken
an immense barrel that is gonna bloom a huge beautiful lily, just you wait and see
In this front garden the evergreen shrub Berberis darwinii (Darwin's barberry) has been allowed to grow much taller than usual as it is often prune into a hedge. It has been crown lifted and become a small tree and so the bark can be admired. This species was named after the naturalist Charles Darwin, who discovered it in 1835 during his voyage to South America.
