Taking a gamble...Put out five by March 13. Drum-liners protect from cold and March winds. If necessary, would pull another drum-liner over the top of the cage.

Wisteria may be an invasive, but it sure smells nice and looks pretty.
Carminat pole beans climbing the bamboo. The big Freeze mostly defoliated the bamboo making for ideal bean poles.
Potato patch
Lemon grass went through the wringer, but it’s on its way back.

Wow! [mention]karstopography[/mention] You are the only person that I now know that has gotten a wisteria to bloom. It's gorgeous!

Are you growing it up a support and (if you know) which variety is this?

[mention]MissS[/mention] This one is a volunteer escapee from cultivation. It has spread over and up the trees and bushes in this little thicket on my lot. I have several escapee wisteria like this scattered over the lot. The one I took a photo of is probably the biggest of the bunch. I don’t know which variety it is, but they are a great climbing type and is very fragrant.

Couldn’t resist walking out for another look at the wisteria, with the very fine weather. It was covered in honey bees, most of those apparently up on the high blooms out beyond my reach.

Flowers and only the flowers are edible. Taste like they smell, with a little burst of sweet floral nectar. Individual blooms can be tossed in a salad or used as a garnish. Flowers are also supposed to make a very nice cordial and/or syrup, but I’ve got enough projects right now so I’ll try that next year.

Count me in as one more failure on the wisteria. As well, I saw one fail to bloom in a commercial planting locally.
Yet others grow beautifully.

My mom loved wisteria. Over the years she had planted 4 of them and not a single one at any of our houses ever bloomed for her. I know that there is a Chinese version and an American one and I don't know which she planted or if it was both. She was a wonderful gardener but the wisteria threw her for a loop.

I wish I could take any credit. These I believe are Wisteria sinensis or chinese wisteria, but whatever they are, they get nothing in the way of care from me.

My wisteria is also sinensis. I keep if very tightly pruned. You need to make sure you do this at the right time if you want to keep it compact

2 tomato Brad.jpg
No April joke from Austin, Texas. Here's a closeup of variety "Brad" from Joseph Lofthouse. This is the only "Brad" in the garden here. Have planted 15 tomatoes, about eight different varieties...including Black from Tula, Celebrity, Jaune Flamee, Black Cherry, Charley's June Bug, Super Sioux and, for the first time, thanks to someone here, J.D.'s Special C-Tex. All are looking good...so far, so good.

I took the girls out for a sunning on the weekend. We have a stretch of sunny days ahead so they're going out every day. Too cold to leave them out at night yet.

Sitting on the 15 gal pots that will be home under some shade beside the potted garlic.

Trying some broad beans in bags due to tree roots competing for moisture in the bed.

French tarragon doing really well in pots. Did nothing in the ground.

Rosemary in the ground on the right and walking onions on the left, in a pot.

Things are coming along. Daffs in bloom and tulips starting now too.

Those peppers look great, I tried so hard to get the shishito to germinate but they failed. Have to try harder next time....

Monarch caterpillars are back on the milkweed. I hope they make their chrysalises where I can see them.

[mention]Amateurinawe[/mention] same here on the Shishito with germination. Reifels, our feed store, had Shishito pepper (Mellow Star) sets for the first time. I mentioned to the owner of Reifels last Spring how I loved Shishito peppers and would love to get some sets, he’d evidently never had heard of the peppers. But, he either listened to my want and ordered them this time or I just got lucky, but anyway, I picked up 5 sets. Probably should have picked up 10 since they look to be setting plenty of peppers.

I’m very excited about these, they are only intermittently and rarely available fresh at the market and I haven’t seen any since Covid.
