All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

It's June and we have some fruits developing on our haskaps and strawberries; I think something has gotten to our serviceberries and plums though (curculio maybe). And so many more flowers!

Geraniums, Spurge, Lily of the Valley, and tricolor Willow:

Blackberries and Irises:

Rhododendron with a solitary bee:

Some of the weeds have been going haam too; I think I removed about 2 miles of Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) yesterday just from one garden area.

What's growing on with you all?

I also start and prop way too many plants sometimes without a real plan for all of them... I say just offer them up somewhere! We've posted about them on some of our social media sites, or put up little "plants for sale" flyers at a nearby gas station and our town library. Even if you're not going whole hog and going to market it would be a great way to share your work and maybe swap for some more awesome plants to play with.
