Cranky gardener. Oregon 8b. “Come on Superman… say your stupid line.”

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

If anyone is near McMinnville, OR I have some plants that I am selling. Baby iris and hydrangeas, ferns, aster, dahlias, and some other stuff. 🌱🌷

🌱Yes friends and neighbors… we have dahlias. Just not the masses we had a couple years ago. We are culling down to a cherished few in good pots. As an example… here’s White Aster.

Repost @mickydolenz: This month in 1967, @themonkees released “Pleasant Valley Sunday.” Written by the extraordinary Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 11 in the U.K. And somehow, it still feels just as much fun to sing all these years later.

Too hot to do much the past few days. Garden kitty has enjoyed rolling in the hot gravel, the front patio filled with pots, the catio bed, and pineapple lilies! Zorro got too big so I had to move some to another spot, but never fear my pineapple lily love goes on ♥️🌷🌱

A photo of garden kitty being silly rolling around on his back in a gravel bed. A photo of the walk to the front of the house, the patio is broken up into sections, along the left side house wall full sun potted plants (although the rhododendron is blocking most of the plants!) along the wall straight back are potted camellias with some smaller friends. To the right are the larger potted plants and the summer dahlias. Please excuse any crispiness, it has been a busy spring and summer and not everything got the love it deserves! A photo of the catio bed. This bed is filled with peonies, hydrangeas, a large lilac and some miscellaneous smaller perennials. Bonus Gary included. A photo of two large hydrangeas, a limelight and zorro with potted pineapple lilies in front. There is actually a small hydrangea behind the pots as well!
