With the recent frosts I've noticed the roses have no buds and I see no fruit on the plum tree. But this morning I found the first ever apple on one of my apple trees and amazingly my one surviving blueberry bush is covered with green blueberries!!! This is so incredibly exciting and inspires me to go buy a couple more blueberry bushes. I got this one from Marvin at Marvin's Organic Gardens. My garden club visited his store about three years ago and he presented a talk on organic gardening. When the talk was finished he gave us each (20 some ladies) a plant. I got the blueberry.
Marvin is a great source for all kinds of plants. He's also a very good citizen who donates thousands of dollars worth of plants to various good causes. His prices are in line with the good mail order companies and you don't have to pay shipping!!!
Luminous blue iris when you see it in person. |
I've always admired a huge stand of these blue iris in a friends yard and when I noticed she was digging them up to divide I asked if I could have a few. She gave me a good start of them and this is the result. Blue color doesn't photograph true so you can't tell how luminous the blue color is from the picture, but trust me, these are a really beautiful flower in the garden.
