I dunno @Wee fluffy me, you better be careful the psycho from Canada doesn't see those and come over to dig them out in the middle of the night.. claiming they are weeds.

[Wee fluffy me]

I know @notsmokinjo but he's been offy quiet, do you reckon his wife done a number on him ..

[notsmokinjo]

I reakon Mrs @reciprocity mighta smashed someones shovel over their head... I'd love gorgeous iris' like that in my yard.

[Wee fluffy me]

Now I never usually condone violence but those beautiful wee irises were sitting there being beautiful and minding there own beeswax when... oh and talking of bees they needed the pollen..so it turns out he is an iris bee murderer.. Mmmmm skelped over the head with a shovel is too quick.. hung up by the short and curlies is more apt...

 

And I too would love irises in my garden @notsmokinjo But every time I plant I only ever get 1 year bulbs for in my soil

[notsmokinjo]

Now the shepherd pup has weeded all the flower beds of anything that wasn't a geranium that's about all I have out the back. Out the front there's some trees and a shit load of aggis, aggapanthus.. they are all along the fence line... but no flowers at the moment.

 

[Wee fluffy me]

Oh My Giddy aunt.. 

 They are sooooo beautiful Jo 

 

I luv luv luv aggis Sooooooooo much, but haven't got them (have planted them many times but think the pesky squirrels nick them) I've just got alliums...

 

That's it I'm gonna plant more

[notsmokinjo]

Oh they aren't mine, they're just random net ones... ours are all wintery atm with no flowers.. I'll get pics come spring when they pop into colour.

[Wee fluffy me]

Haha... thought it was a pic from last year... but glad to know that you have some purple in your garden Jo..

[Sazerac]

Here is a quirky Fibonacci.  I am so happy I planted Sunflowers this year.

 

[Rosewothorne]

Good morning all. THe calla lillies are in bloom here. 

[Wee fluffy me]

All my teasel is coming into flower just in time for the poor wee bees who are dying off in their droves in this weather..

 

I luv ya ... now please don't sting me...

Does anyone here have experience planting and harvesting grape vines?  I've got a little garden spot on my property and I've decided to try my hand at growing muscadines.  I'm going to start building the trellises soon.  I'll do some soil work during the fall and plant the vines in March or April of next year.

 

I'm brand new at this so any firsthand knowledge will be greatly appreciated.

What do you want to know? If noone else answers I will ask my family viticulturists.

^^^ Um no, not a flippin weed... and purple... Fluffy will nut ya if you pull those out... They are flag iris ... I vote with Mrs @reciprocity

Ummm ..... forgot about this little romp I was havin with y'all

 

I know they are flowers and yes, the wife plants them and does a great job too. I would never mow them down and if I did, the wife would have me stones in a noose so ..............not to worry. Besides, they died off on their own after a couple of weeks.
