scrubjayspeaksWelcome to the September edition of Pandemic Garden Club! Growing good things in strange times!
Anyone is welcome to comment with what they're growing right now, things they would like to try, problems they're encountering, and questions they have. Share resources, answer questions, shout encouragement.
As for myself...
An update on the four o’clocks: they might be late, but they have come roaring in with their usual vigor. They seem to have done so overnight--I didn’t see them doing anything until suddenly they were in full bloom. I had planted marbled ones a few years back. The various crossing that they’ve done seems to have resulted in patchy color like this. I find it quite charming. For some reason, the yellow and white do this together and the pink seems to keep to itself.
Look! It’s a pumpkin! It is, in fact, THE pumpkin. The only pumpkin I have to my name. *sobs*
Oh, corn. Likewise small and few between. It’s just not been a good year for anything but melons. Man cannot live on melons alone. Well, and plums. But what is life without corn?
I got a dense little patch of clarkia that came up in the wildflower field. They then went to seed. I thought the result was rather picturesque.
