Hello everyone, I’m sure that you were wondering where I was all this time, well I was here. Between all the storms and the really hot weather we are having, I was working very slowly on my back yard. I have a few photos today for you to look at today.
I have a new Rhubarb plant that I planted in spring it has grown like crazy, I will harvest some of the stems for a pie in a few days ( Rhubarb & Cherry ).
My Clematis is doing very well, I believe it may be at least 25 years old or even older.
I also have another color of Gerbera Daisies but it is in between blooms right now.
All of my Amaryllis are outside this summer gaining some energy, But I really have to thin out the bunch, so if anyone in Edmonton wants a free Amaryllis plant then leave me a message at hhr52@shaw.ca Only Edmonton and area residents need apply for free Amaryllis plants. If I can’t get ride of a lot of these plants by September, then they will go into my compost bin.
It looks great. How long till your winter starts?
ReplyDeleteHi Adrian, the nights get pretty cold in late September and the snow starts flying at the end of October. Some years, but not very often, we don't get snow until December (once every 10 to 20 years). Can get down to -30C around December.
DeleteHad 2 hail storms so far ... omg, Horst, nice to hear from you again ... how are you? Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing fine Cat, just needed a break from blogging. Had a lot of work to do on my little garden. Made a compost bin and had to do a lot of weeding in my little garden. Hope your doing well.
DeleteThe Clematis looks great Horst really taken off, and a lovely color. Oh and pie sounds great can't beat homemade pie., grown from your garden to.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your little Garden doing well.
Enjoy .
We have a bit of a heat wave here now, +30C, need to keep my eye on the garden so that I don't loose any plants. We're not use to this kind of heat, sure glad I go air conditioning.
Deletewhat apretty garden you have!Such lovely flowers!
ReplyDeleteYour rhubarb is doing a lot better than ours, but then yours is planted in the actual ground and ours is still in a pot on top of the rabbit hutches! I love rhubarb crumble, so am not likely to eat that this year. Love those yellow flowers, and the composition of the photos with them in is, as always, lovely.
ReplyDeleteVera, why is your Rhubarb not in the ground yet? I'm sure that you have a great place to put it.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great garden as I see.
Rhubarb is tasting very good. I have a lot of them. I do pies of them. Taste great.

We are having a heat wave here as well, I stay inside with the air conditioner. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteMaybe I should fly over for the free Amaryllis, yours are superb plants and a stunningly deep colour, Garden looks grear, and as I read your latest post, the geese always are super birds to me, I love the way they stand, regal as ever. Never mind the grey day. it all looked super-duper to me. Cheers,Jean
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb and cherry? I'll be right there!
ReplyDeleteCrazy about Gerbera daisies.
Hello Horst your flowers looked just beautiful. You must have been very busy in your garden this year. Not here in the blogging world much, but have to come by and see old friends once in a while.
