I enjoy gardening and yard work. I sometimes call this document site my little digital garden. I met my wife in a History of Landscape Design class while in college. We just started watching Gardeners World and I've got a lot of time outside with Iris. I've always got some kind of yard project going on, so I'm going to leave this page here as a place to make notes.
24/04/02 - Since Iris has been tearing up and making trails in the yard, I've been thinking about switching out part of it to more wild grasses ( and weeds 😂 ). More of a Laissez-Faire Meadow[^1] since I manually pick some of the weeds.
23/05/23 - After watching Gardeners' World and realized that I don't know half of the plants that are planted in the beds. I started mapping out our yard to label the tree types, called in a tree guy to look at one of the oaks, ordered new sheers, gloves, and trays.
Dogwood ( 12 ) / Chase Tree / Oak ( 9 ) / Poplar / White Pine ( 1 ) / Cedar ( 1 ) / Cedar Evergreen / Sweet gum
Azaleas ( 27 ) / Box Hedge / Holly / Japanese Maple ( 4 ) / Japanese Anise Illicium anisatum ↗ / Golden Euonymus Euonymus japonicus ↗
I built several raised garden beds in the middle of our front lawn which I keep a variety of plants going. Sometimes I plant a bunch of summer vegetables, but it's mostly herbs and flowers.
| Flowers | Veg | |--|--| | What | Sugar Snaps | | Delphinium | Tomatoes | | Fox Glove | Garlic | | Dahlias | Pineapple Sage | | Hyacinth | Rosemary | | Amaryllis | Sweet Basil | | Yellow Flower? | Catnip | | Purple Spiky Flower? | Orange Mint | | White Flower Daisy? | Sage | | Orange/Yellow Flower Daisy? | Oregano | | Silver foliage with Yellow flower? | Pumpkin |
The better half has an obsession with indoor plants. Our house is full of them and we've even got one room we just call "the plant room" even though it's a sunroom.
