Gardening This WeekendThere was something psychologically refreshing about the slightly cooler weather some of us encountered last weekend. Let's bring on some more of that between now and the end of the summer! In the meantime, I've collected this weekend's assignments. Photo: Pothos out of my greenhouse finally took its place on our wall this past week. |

Lovely ladies dance in the gardenTheir flowering time varies by several weeks, and they always seem to catch me off guard. The "naked ladies" (in polite terms, Lycoris squamigera) were back in bloom this week in our landscape. It's a great bulb. Let me tell you about them. Photo: You'd hardly recognize naked ladies as sisters to the more common spider lilies of fall. |

Oh, for a little water!It looks like this should have worked. Two water lines, one on either side of each new juniper. But theyre goners already. It might be transplant shock, but those lines also would have trouble getting enough water down to the critical roots. Hollies are even more commonly hit. Photo: Junipers have gotten too dry one or more times. |

And, in closingThanks for reading clear to the end of this week's e-gardens. It's been quite a week. I've enjoyed putting it together between interludes of watching the news and trying to figure out American politics. I'll be on the air on my statewide program Sat. 11:06-noon, then on KLIF (570AM) Sat. 1-2 p.m., and WBAP (820AM and 93.3FM) Sun. 8-9 a.m. Give me a listen, and give me a call! Podcasts of my programs are available on my website.
That's what I have. It's a great life. Use it well! Until next week, Happy gardening! |
