Whats blooming?

Some salmon berries are ripening...miss Nala likes snacking on them.

When our neighbor was dying back in 2013 she asked us to take her favorite rose. We moved it to our yard. Four years ago we brought it here when we moved across the street. Continues to do well despite the Japanese beetles enjoying it too.

Guesses as to why the far ones grow great and the close ones don’t? I have a theory. View attachment 121932

What's the box there? Some kind of weird SW ac unit? My guess would be too much water from condensate.

 

[pigwot]

Wouldn’t it be more likely the heat from the AC unit drying the area?

 

[lxskllr]

Yea, you're probably right.

The weird box thing is a security cover over a water backlfow prevention check valve.

It's the west wall in a very hot climate. The blue wall has nothing behind it, just metal. Gets real hot. The white wall is part of the building which is air conditioned. All I can figure is the differences in the walls. They get the same water out of the same soaker hose. Perhaps the sickly ones need a lot more.

I was making grass shorter, and found some surprise flowers on the back 40...


I think I planted them this past winter. I didn't know what they were. Just some interesting looking bulbs I found at work. Surprise flowers are the best cause it's a surprise!

Fireweed in front of the local museum. Some devils club berries also which I'm sure @Burnham will appreciate

Nasty plant . The most hateful thing one can run across when traving a unit.

How'd you get that stump hollowed out? A saw and chisels?

The home owner started with an ms250, made plunging waffle cuts and the outline. Nothing was coming out that way. I used a combination of my 346 and my 7900 to make some angle cuts, along with an axe to get a pocket in one side to get my 2511 down into, then mowed the chunks out with it.

After posting, I was thinking "grinding" the top might work well. Feather the bar over the top, and shave it out. It works very well with spruce, but maybe not with harder wood.

Snowdrops...



They're way early. There should be a law that you have to have snow before you can get snowdrops :^S
