You may remember over the summer when I salvaged "the rock" from my childhood yard and placed it in my front garden.
When you have four days or more in a row of 65ºF (18ºC) temperatures in February, strange, potentially bad things start happening.
Since temperatures have been around 70ºF (21ºC) for the last few days, I decided that it was time -- as early as it is -- to get the stream running again. I'm not going to show you that, as it involves lots of black, smelly water.
Every year as winter comes to a close (or appears to as our crazy warm temperatures seem to indicate) I take a look at the bamboos and assess the cold damage that was done.
I talked a bit about the trouble I have growing hellebores, but today I'm amazed at something else:
My first battle with the coconut didn't go too well, and since I was tired of having the partly-open thing on the kitchen counter, I got serious yesterday.
I've grown just a couple of hellebores during my time as a gardener, and I have to admit, I'm not having much success.
Remember the coconut I brought home from Florida? I was trying to decide if I should try to let it sprout, or just eat it.
