Yard Pictures: Prairie Garden
I took some pictures today, mostly of places where I'm trying to grow wildflowers.
This is a long view of the prairie garden looking west. The foreground is big bluestem. Just past that you can see part of the path mowed around the edge.
This bare patch in the big bluestem has been sown with Monarch Butterfly Wildflower Seed Mix from American Meadows.
This milkweed is growing at the edge of the big bluestem.
Sunchokes are sprouting alllll over the place. These are in the path. I'm not sure if they're spreading by tubers, seeds, or both. But perhaps in fall I shall start excavating for edible tubers where they don't belong!
Wild strawberries are growing amongst the sunchokes.
This is the strip recently mowed and raked where I sowed wildflower seeds.
This is last year's path through the middle of the prairie garden. It's mostly grass now.
This year's path needs to be raked and sown with grass seed.
This is the wildflower garden in the savanna.
Wood hyacinth is blooming there.
This bare patch in the wildflower garden has been sown with wildflower seeds.
Here is the telephone pole garden. On the left is a black hollyhock. Around the pole are Asiatic lilies.
The hollyhock is starting to form flower buds.
This bare patch has been sown with assorted flower seeds.
We're almost to the end of Three Weeks for Dreamwidth; May 15 is the last day. Does anyone else have garden updates or photos to share? It would help promote this community to more people. If you use the tag "three weeks for dreamwidth" then that post will appear in the feed.
