I've been busy this past week planting my garden. I usually get out at first light and work on it for a while before I start my work day.
One morning I found this in the garden.
It appears to be a type of fungi. It reminds me of sea sponges that grew in a reef aquarium I had at one time. Just to give it some scale, its about a foot long. When I returned that afternoon it had changed to an orange color. The next day it was yellow again with a black top. Man .... talk about a soil fungal web!
This is a trellis of sorts that I built for Asparagus beans and Cucumbers.
I just used what I had available from trimming trees back during the fall. It may not suite everyone's taste, but I like the primitive looks of it .... and it was free. It has a tripod at each end and one in the middle. Hopefully, mother nature won't blow it down.
This is the Chestnut that I planted as a seed back during the holidays. It has really grown great! Its about a foot tall now. I will probably have to add it to my food forest area this fall. I wonder if it will produce nuts here in Florida.... Hummm.
Here is a shot of some Bromeliads that I have. I like growing them in pots because they don't require much water. I really like the red ones. According to the Southern Living Garden Book, they are a hybrid.
How are you doing in your garden? Leave a comment and let me know.
Soooo...... Until next time......HAPPY GARDENING!
You've been busy! I got a couple of chestnuts to germinate this spring as well... they will grow in the northern half of the state. There's a grove of them in Alachua county.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know! They will come in handy around future Christmas holidays. The mature trees are nice looking, too.
