What are you planting?

[Lhianneth]

A friend is going to help us get our garden under control, so we're going to start prepping some succulent cuttings in a little mini-green house. We have several varieties that have spread throughout the bed rather unevenly, so we're going to try and smooth that out and get better coverage.

I've been working on a lot of potted plants this summer! It's grown into a bit of an obsession. Right now I have three succulents, a pink star, a purple passion, some kind of palm, and a plant whose name I unfortunately forget right now- as well as five succulent cuttings I'm waiting on to grow roots so I can plant them. Growing succulents from cuttings is so fun.

Bumping this from a little while ago, finally getting around to posting some tulip pics.
My first "special red & white Canada 150th" tulip came up totally orange, which gave me a scare. But the rest came up nicely, although they did start more yellowish, but eventually did whiten with a bunch of red.

Panoramic - still young (you can see the yellow on them):

  my moonflower and mixed basil sprouted today!!!! im really surprised, because the packaes of seeds said it would take 10-20 days but both have happily popped up. im so excited to see them all grown up~

Beautiful tulips you got there Kiwi. I planted some snapdragons and foxgloves last year and they are coming up now. : )

This year I planted potatoes, tomatoes, salad, zucchini, beans, radishes, strawberrys, raspberrys, red and black currants, peppers. The only thing that won´t grow this year is the cucumber, maybe the Cold spring season.

It is winter over here right now, so planting is not high on my agenda. I did a whole hoard of cutting back yesterday which will help when spring comes. However our garden is still full of flowers: aloes flower in winter and we have a lot of them. So we also have a lot of sunbirds in the garden right now - they love aloe nectar 

Our irises seem to be budding anyway, even though they are supposed to be flowering only in spring.

Love your tulips, Kiwi, they are stunning! I wish we could grown them but it is a bit too warm for them here and they don't flower.

I did have some lettuce seeds popping out of the soil the other day... but they seem to have gone! Must have been eaten. I have some others so I guess I'll try again and protect them better this time
I've also planted some sweetcorn and carrots. I think I've overdone the tomatoes though - there were 30 seeds and I planted the lot! I've got 24 and a half plants growing in the conservatory! A few have started to flower too

In my little section of the garden back home, it is usually a battle between what nature plants and what I do. This year nature has gone to town on foxgloves of the white and purple variety. Also, a very huge hollyhock which must have been planted by birds. Both the foxgloves and the hollyhock are taller than I am now.

One foxglove that nature planted

I have a little group of heuchera and I have recently added two new ones. I also have some baby lupins to plant out when I go home next (yay). I also planted some begonias for this season which are stunning now they're flowering, and also one of my pet favourite annuals, diascia. It literally will grow wherever you put it and it flowers amazingly.

I also have a habit of rescuing plants that look a bit sad. This year, unfortunately, most of my rescue cases didn't make it, but a couple that did found places in the hanging baskets out front. I also got some leftover begonia, lobelia and pansy plants which would probably have been composted otherwise, and I hope they too will join the garden soon.

Rescued baby plants waiting for their big adventure. Some of the above my father has adopted for his strawberry planter now. We share plants a lot in my family.

In my garden, every plant gets a chance to shine

 I miss the garden when in London No plants here

Or mystery vine bloomed it is a wisteria, now I need something for  it to climb. I also have 9 bean plants all in the same planter, they are super happy, and I am excited about that.

We currently have carrots, onions, strawberries and garlic coming. Also, a wider range of flowers and a few days ago we planted an apple tree that I got as a gift for my graduation
