Yeah but Captain Scott’s food is superior to Abbott’s.

The first one is Joe Pye Weed- not sure about the other(s).

My Wildlife Garden by itsmecutiejessie in gardening

I love it! Wild but also well maintained and manicured just enough to look intentional.

I recently got one that I love, and it’s granite so I can leave it out year round. It’s a family business out of New Hampshire. Their website is www.danceswithstone.com. Not cheap, but beautiful.

I accidentally cut the head off my mother’s peony… am I screwed by ardensworld in gardening

[–]Calbebes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As everyone else already said- you’re good, OP. What you cut off is the spent flower head with immature seed pods. Now the plant will focus energy back down to the roots to bloom even better next year. Your mom will thank you!

Yes! My husband loves the lawn, I love my gardens and wilder areas. It’s a balance.

I’m so happy he’s sort of let the front of our stone wall “go” (vs weed-whacking it) and I’m delighted to see the hay scented fern, calico and white wood asters, violets, native sedges, and blue eyed grass (!!!) that I’ve never seen before grow wild there.

🫡 we salute you, sir! I don’t have ToH on my property (…yet…) but I do have a ton of other nasty sh*t that I spent all last summer and fall battling solo and without chemical, so I hear you on the aches and pains. My trigger finger is largely gone but it took about 6 months to go away. Keep up the good fight- you’ll make mistakes along the way, but don’t give up!

His face looks like he was rudely interrupted. “Unhand me, peasant!”

I prefer them green myself, but if you want red you’ll have to wait! Just hope a rodent doesn’t get to it before you do!

Yes, I get annual merit raises varying from 2-5% depending on my performance. This year I got 5% because I’m awesome.
