the garden itself is a little rough this year. instead:

tea seedlings!

and even farther from the garden (had to haul a piece of wood out for contrast): one of the grafts I did this year on seedling american persimmon, in situ:

being on it's own original un-transplanted taproot should make it a seriously resilient and long-lived tree. I guess technically there are two grafts in the picture. this variety is a very large-fruited cultivar.

OOOHHH tea seedlings, eh? I've been meaning to try that -- my potted little tea shrub blooms like mad and then fruits, but somehow, I've never gotten around to growing them from seeds. Are they difficult?

The persimmon -- American persimmon rootstock? And what's the scion?

Man, start a thread or two! Don't just show us tantalizing pics :-()

Herbs, please -- I know, but part of tea herbs, I thought. I think I might have started a thread somewhere and you could add to it, but you might want to start a new one a follow their progress?

Monarda is doing excellent this year. Next year will be it's third year in the ground.
A true hummer magnet. It's not unusual to see three or four hummers at once on this plant.

Apparently, it only spins web to provide itself a safety line. It hangs out on flower heads (goldenrod, milkweed, and QA lace) and feeds on pollinators as they land! It can also change color to yellow when it is on the goldenrod (but this chemical change takes a long time to occur-a couple months).

Thanks, Llcenter, those petals looked so perfect and weren't showing any browning yet, so I couldn't resist.

Hello...I am new here and trying to learn how to post pictures. I have read the instructions given but none seem to apply to Picasa Web where I store my photos.

In Picasaweb, if you tap/click on "download" tab, you will see your photo in a new window and the web address/link box at the top of the window will contain the file link. Copy that and paste here between the img codes (you can get the codes by clicking/tapping on the (img) button above the full editor reply box

...like so:

I just have to post a photo of my Joe Pye weed (Big Nate). This is only it's second year in the ground, but what a show it is putting on!

beautiful! I miss mine which got left behind in the move. I just planted boneset, which is closely related, also a Eupatorium.

Thanks! The amount of butterflies, and honey bees it brings in, I will surely be planting more next year.

I don't know that you need to plant more at this point! :) What you have is going to keep spreading and getting to be a bigger and bigger colony. If you want some in other spots in the yard, just divide it and move some.

Yes, it is pretty well behaved. It doesn't spread by runners and it doesn't seem to much re-seed itself. So it isn't invasive -- mainly the colony just gets bigger. Where you have ten stems now, maybe fifteen next year. But you can dig and divide the clump.
