What does your garden look like ... Today?

Do you know I thought @DirtMechanic had changed his avatar!!!!
Could very well be him in beekeeper mode......or maybe preparing to go on a space adventure. Hope he posts some pics if he goes

If you want a clematis, please get 3 evergreen ones on an obelisk - you don't really want your old and brown clematis branches to greet the postman. It's so nice to have letter box at a height postmen can reach. Some letter boxes are next to the ground. Very vicious - these people should go around one day working as a postman!

Who's in the avatar please? Is that you, DM? Or a beekeeper next door!

Don't you just want to have an artist in the house - such a glorious piece of artwork - Fab!

The avatar is actually @vette-kid who is so allergic to poison ivy he dressed this way to fight it off. I borrowed his picture from his post for a while

What do mean please when you say obelisk? I am afraid my Atlantic translation service must be down right now.

Whoa! Poison ivy is serious business.

Should have said garden obelisk

That would be very nice indeed!

Transatlantic communication in order now!

Bought a few pumpkins for decoration. The past few years I had been growing them, but the plants refused to grow this year. It's worth noting that I put in almost no effort, so I'm not too surprised that I didn't get any. Maybe next year.

I can remember a time when my dating life could have been described in a similiar fashion.

Pictures from early fall and one from early winter. This was a gardening experiment at my family cabin in northern Michigan. The Tractor Supply deer and rabbit resistant mix grew like crazy, although a lot of marigolds. I probably overseeded but didn't know what would come up if anything to my surprise it did! I just let everything die and falls to the ground naturally. We'll see what happens in the spring!

Lovely close up of rudbeckia and lovely flowers, @BradinMichigan !

Thanks! The purple cone flower was planted with bee balm a couple years ago. In a 4x4 plot then I expanded the area this year. I'd like to turn that whole field into a wildflower area but don't have resources yet. We've got 4 hummers and more butterflies than I've ever seen up there. The wild milkweed has exploded in our other fields. It's a great thing to see all the abundant nature! @alp

All you need to do is to collect seeds from the wild flowers nearby. You don't have to buy them. I am sure JB will share some tips with you.

I'd have to till up a lot of grass though. Maybe I'll add a small section every year.
