Every time you show new pix the property looks even more filled in and lush looking. That's a lot of work planting all those plants..........my back hurts thinking about it. Pretty lotus and now you have one that smells too :lol:

The day lilies are blooming like crazy in the bog. They all have a double petal flower, I took them from an area that had only single flowers, wonder if the extra water did that to them.

I have some star gazer lilies, put in 100 last year, they are close to opening. We are leaving for a week to check in on his parents, I am gonna be so sad if they open and are done before we get back.

This tiny lily plant is just cranking out flowers

ummm no jw lol, 4 acres, some is untouched woods. I am just messing with the first fenced in area around the back of the house. Basically this area

Have put in some wild flower fields in the back field. but it is mostly grass , did do 500 feet of corn this year.

Gosh every time you show that before picture it just amazes me on how much you have changed the look to be such a beautiful spot to gaze at now
I didn't plant a veggie garden this year and think we are done..............well I know we are done cuz I planted grass seed where the veggie garden was. Had one for 10 yrs........need a break now that hubby is retired........gonna see some sights eventually :lol:
Will still grow tomato's and some stuff in the green house although didn't do it this year

I have one going, put a lot of them in jars last summer, used it all up, so need more.

like to pick lettuce and come in and have a salad, but I am sure some day will be done with it, right now still enjoying it.

One thing I just love is going out and sniffing the air, it is so sweet smelling. We have four baby bunnies living under the plants

Addy how big of a pot is that taro root in? Does the wind blow it over and how deep is it in?

 

[j.w]

Lovely photo's as usual and if I were a bunny I'd sure pick your place to reside. Those bunnies are prolly all woo hooing and jumping up and down for joy for what you created for them............bunny heaven

It is a black 3 gallon pot, from some plant I planted, 12 inches wide, one of those sort of squat ones. The shelf is around 20-24 inches down, the top of the pot is about 6 inches down in the water. So far it has survived our winds, we get some bad ones. Our main wind blows west to east. Most of the time the wind push is back towards the bog wall

This is the other pot of taro. They are both planted in kitty litter. My first time with them, not sure how big they will end up here, and will have to figure out how I want to try and save them for next year, i.e. over winter.

jw the only time those bunnies are disturbed is if I am out messing in the plants, they are so cute. When they get older they head for the woods for their permanent home. Last year they hung out in in the hostas in the front yard. They nibble but not enough to worry about.
