An urban gardeners particular struggle; I have load copious amounts of clippings, poison ivy!, etc into my car and drive it all across town.
This morning a soaking wet load as it stormed last night.
I was unloading it when a wee snake slithered out!
Into my pocket she went for the drive home.
Back in my garden she went.
I love garter snakes, the only snake I will tolerate being around.
The little guy must have wanted to warm up in your pocket, good thing you didn't have to stop and get gas, the cashier would have screamed when you reached in you pocket to pay them and that little wriggler came out. lol
Oh my goodness!
I read that and my heart jumped. Incredible.
Posted by FernappleIt is time for the flowering of one of my favourite roses.
Posted by FrostyJimBerries do very well in Alaska... I'm growing strawberries, honeyberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and black currants ...oh and rhubarb too - it goes well with berries in a pie, jam, or cobler!
Posted by FrostyJimSo that's how it works...
Posted by FrostyJim...why didn't I think of that?
Posted by FernappleIts the time for one of my favourite flowers, Primula florindae, the giant cowslip to flower. The cinnamon scent fills the garden on warm days.
Posted by FrostyJimIt's almost salad season. It is amazing how fast my salad greens grow in just 3 weeks since setting out my seedlings in our long Alaska summer days...

Posted by FernappleNature is the best gardener still. All nature asks is a little space, that's all. Maybe no more than a slightly leaky fall pipe, and a bit of neglected wall, and you have a perfect tiny garden.
Posted by JolantaNematodes are helpful too.
