WNYwillie: how beautiful! And your windows look like mine tee hee

Garden Photos - Part 28
Thanks, ladies. Got mine from Fairweather Gardens, mo.
We have let wild Burdock grow, as we are getting into making our own herbals...burdock is a mainstay of herbal remedies!
An inherited Rose (don't know what kind, but they have been neglected so i will be brutal and cut them even further back than I did this spring)
That is a neat pine, definitely!
Something very unexpected showed up this Winter, if you can believe it...
Our leeching field, which we call our "meadow", and hold all our Ceremonies there...a couple different views...
More of our 'meadow' - lots of Bull Thistle,. Centaurea, Butter'n'eggs,oh, lots of things growing there...
I get tons of burdock in the outback. Grandma used to make them every spring; breaded and browned in butter. What were those called ??? Cardoons? Those were GOOD!
that tree is great morrigan.
Thanks redchic...Here's some of the containers on our back deck...
more same...
and more of the woodlands that are "ours"
Yes, I think you're right, WNYW, I think they are called cardoons when they are battered and fried like that....Wildman Steve has recipes in his book...some more images b/c (she said shyly) I just went out and snapped these to share with you wonderful folk! Tell me when its enough already :-O
herhum....more
I always liked watching cardoons on Saturday mornings!
and I SWEAR the last one
You're sly, Victor....so nobody knows what this one is?
Morrigan, I thought thats what these forums were for is pics. Am I wrong???? BEV

Beautiful Bev... I just didn't want to seem like a "forum hog", but I am just sooooo happy to have found all of you. I hvae lots to offer, and lots to learn, and I thank you all. I can't wait for an RU that I can meet some of you at. I am virtually alone up here, and there is no one to talk to about this stuff, save for one friend who I rarely get a chance to chat/garden with b/c of her hectic schedule. So, okay one more....some more of the jewelweed we have here, that I think is both lovely, the Hummers LOVELOVELOVE it more than anything else I have ever seen, and it is a natural antidote to poison ivy, which we unfortnately also have alot of. Oh, and the bees love these flowers too, and that is very important to us...
Dragonfly: love your toad house and the garden(s) are just wonderful :-))
I got this Turks Lily at last years Round UP. It was nicely potted and tagged with one stem and 2 buds. I also got 2 small hostas from the same person, sorry I forget who.
I just want to say thanks again and show how well this lily is doing. It has 2 stalks with 5 buds each. The hostas are doing well also.

Morrigan you have dmail
I love all of it. I do have trouble keeping up with who posted what but I love that pine Victor and the Faery hangout by the tree and the memorial garden and the meadow, great stuff all of it. I also think I know a relative of your tree man. He is a quiet guy that stays out front, doesn't say much, just keeps an eye on things. I wish he would pipe up a little when bambi comes to visit at least, but he is a calm soul and would not harm anyone. His name is George Oakdale, do you see a resemblance?
haha. definitely a relative. where did you get the stuff for the face? Or did you make it?
Oh no I did not make it. They sell different faces in the garden centers and I think they have them online too. Here are some. There are many more now, some glow at night. http://www.bizrate.com/outdoordecor/products__keyword--tree+face+garden.html
Wow, GREAT shots, everyone! I've gotten too far behind to mention all the ones I love, but there are so many! What a treat to see all these gorgeous blooms and imagine them in the context of your yards and gardens! Bravo, Grand Gardeners!!!

this one too
Baby EE from Nancy(gabagoo) at the RU. I was worried about it since it wasn't doing too well, not realizing it likes it really wet. duh. Glad I saved it.
Ok.... so you all might remember up above where I mentioned that I called a bunch of nurseries looking to see if they had any of the big sky series echinaceas, and that two of them mentioned that they were having sales. You won't believe what I walked away with for 33.95. My budget was really only for the echinacea plant, but I decided that if the prices were just tooo good to be true... that $40 was the top.
Not only that, when I mentioned that payday was a week and a half away, they said that they would hold plants for me until then with a raincheck!!!!! (ok, it might help that I actually know these folks some... but still)
So, I can't resist but to post pictures of my score. although, all of it has to stay with me while I'm house sitting.
