Thornless was also a 'selling point'. Mine were a gift from another gardener. And being raspberries they try to spread beyond their allotted space. So I dig them and put them up on freecycle. It's super popular, and they can spread their DNA in someone else's garden. :-D
it's been really hot here, but I've gotten into watering all of the outside plants every day (I water my aloe and haworthia once a week) and they seem to be doing pretty well! even the tropical hibiscus, somehow.
I'm especially happy about my lavender and the roses, I've mentioned previously I think that roses are special to me because of my grandmother (my grandfather would grow them in the backyard in these huge rose bushes for her and bring them in) and these are the first ones to ever grow and thrive. they're not purely red roses, but I do really like the pattern on them.
That's a really beautiful rose! I bet your grandparents would love the colors it's putting out.
For reference, if you'd like to have your images inline after uploading elsewhere, you can do that by putting an exclamation point and empty brackets in front of your parenthetical link. So this:
youtube links should be accompanied by links to alternative front ends like piped.video for those who are yt-averse, but that it is okay for the canonical yt link to be included for those who wish to interact with the poster's channel. I think I have a preference for the piped.video link to be the post link and for yt links to be included in the body, but am fine with peertube links being the post link.
If there are accompanying documents, such as the slide deck I'll be using tomorrow evening, those should also be linked - it's my feeling that posts of this nature should be viewed as resources for the community. In my particular case, I'm happy to share both the shared file in my gdrive but also a .pptx file on an accessible filesharing site (especially if there is a consensus on which are most preferable from privacy and accessibility standpoints).
It is an expectation that folks posting their channels or videos engage with the community in other ways as well and are not spammy
I've got a lot of this in my yard from the previous owner. It leaves great dry flower heads over winter, provides great visual interest and homes for overwintering insects in the stalks
There's a distinct possibility I've spent two years planting and splitting them on the undeveloped side of our street in addition to the ones for our customers and us.
Just sent you a dm, but I'd like to respond here to let other Beeple know that if they're based in the US they should send us a quick message if they like milkweed bee heart emoji
Never saw the plant before relocating to this part of the country, and now it's one of my favorite plants. It's hardy, easy, looks great, grows like the dickens but doesn't spread like a weed. We had some landscaping done and accidentally split a couple of mature plants in moving things around, and now I can't tell which were the split ones, and which survived whole - they all look great!
This year, I'm putting it everywhere. It can have the whole yard as far as I'm concerned.
Southern balcony gardener reporting in with mostly-positive results! Some of the plants I grew from seed are doing well, including my kale, micogreens, sunflowers, catnip, and even a few pumpkins! The kale and microgreens are looking great, though I need to harvest more to prevent crowding (right?), so I've actually started to add the microgreens into my lunches! I think I'll make a baby kale salad today as well.
Unfortunately, I've lost most of the pumpkin sprouts due to this heat and my own inexperience, but(!) I never had high hopes for container pumpkins on a balcony in the South. It's just a fun thing to try, and maybe the few I have will flower again and let me help pollinate.
That brings me to my real passion, peppers! My cayennes have been doing swimmingly, and I've been able to harvest enough for wife to make our own brand of hot sauce. It's pretty cool seeing a finished product this early in the summer! I'm excited for more to come in, especially my jalapenos and ghost peppers so we can make it kick a little harder. I actually found a hot dragon roll pepper that had ripened way sooner than expected, and Bees, I am happy to report that a glass of milk was almost necessary to help with the heat!
That's it for now :) here's a picture of a sunflower that I grew.
We lost a few winter squash in this recent heat wave in the northeast, I sympathize and echo your hope for some fresh growth!
And as someone with a rocky history of growing peppers and who has a spouse that can't handle spice much at all, I'm super glad you're having a great time of it and will be enjoying peppers vicariously through you <3
We are going to move from our apartment to a lovely house in August. I'm looking forward to the new place. it's gonna be awesome for the family and me, but it means giving up my backyard garden in the middle of the season.
I have many plants in containers so it's not like I'll lose everything, but the move has a bittersweet note.
