they are beautiful GoJays. I recenrly moved and am still figuring out what's growing in my yard. The catalpa tree flowers look like a tree that's growing in my yard. It finished flowering like a month ago though

I love trumpet vines, I don't have the space for one though :(
The middle picture looks like it could be a climbing hydrangea.. compare it to this pic from google images

Your flowering tree is pretty, I wonder if it's a different variety of catalpa.. the leaves are right but the flowers are a little different. Mine was blooming in June as well, I only just got around to posting the picture today :rolleyes:
This is in response to the question about what fertilizers used on veg.
Mostly sheep manure from a local organically run hobby farm. We only use natural inputs.
No pods on my flowering unknown tree GoJays. As well, the bark on it is papery and flaky unlike a regular tree. Do catalpa flowers have a scent?
DH has been dehydrating basil for 3 days and we have barely made a dent in the plants. lol . I am going to have enough for the whole winter :)
The bark on mine is like regular bark, not papery. Dunno what your tree could be. http://www.palyne.com/talk/Smileys/p...cratchhead.gifQuote:

Absolutely beautiful. ^^
Gorgeours, your pic got me googling dahlias...I think you're in a much colder zone than most of us.... do you dig out your bulbs and replant them in the spring or do they survive your harsher winters in the ground ? If so... how long ?Quote:

:shrug:....so, i think my i ''MUST'' look at my garden as a hobby and certainly not as a feeding mean for us...or we will starve to death
i'm all excited about the 4 or 5 tomatoes on my 1 tomato plant and about the 6 finger size zucchinis ( more to come ) on my 2 plants....plus some tiny cherry tomatoes, extra tiny peppers on 1 Pepper plant and none on the other 1.....few earth cherries on the plant that survive the big winds 2 weeks ago...... nothing but leaves on cucumber plants....
and as a try the 3 flowers on my 1 small watermelon variety plant....for this one the lady at the green house told me i must live only 3 flowers and get rid of the extra one if i want to have watermelon....and she told me the best size she had in her plant were a little bigger than a baseball ball...:lolsign:.....will see.....
that'S the result of living in North pole....or close to :eek:
P.S BTW, ladies , i'm so jalous of your gardens.....not in a bad way though......i'm happy for you to be able to get all those wonderfull plants.....please , keep posting your photos..... i love seeing them
I’m growing Lavender plant in my front yard, I don’t have any tips, I’m new to gardening, I just tried it and it worked! It looks nice and it smells good as well.
We interrupt your scheduled programming for this important announcement :biggrin:
