Well, 4 Bin Gardening requires 1 thing:
4 Bins. Usually.
1 Car. Usually.
1 Saturday. Usually.
1 total disregard for lists that include numbered requirements.
4 Bin Gardening with a Wed Wabbit |
Okay, so now, just the Weekend, and it HAS to be Saturday around these parts, as it is the only time I can get to the dump! And even THEN, it has to be by NOON! And even THEN, if the bins are already full from the night before, then I have to be there before 8 AM!
But otherwise, just 2-3 hours is needed to circumnavigate the back and front yard and tidy up!
The 2012 yard is looking like this about now, but with a bit more growth.
A couple of roses have somehow magically appeared! How the heck did THAT happen?
The tall one will be Oranges 'n' Lemons below
Oranges 'n' Lemons |
Described as 'Sweet 'n' sour it ain't---but your eyes might pucker a little when they behold this fantastic color. Stripes of pure yellow splashed onto bright orange will stop even the most finicky rose buyer in the their tracks. Mahogany red new foliage shows up all year long, maturing to a very deep green. This vigorous bush has a fountainous habit that can be trained as a climber in milder climates.' and should grow into this:

Emily Carr is one of the new Canadian Artist Series of Roses being developed by a group of Canadian rose growers.
It blooms all summer and is showing disease resistance and cold
hardiness to zone 3. Emily Carr's compact size makes it ideal for
today's smaller yards.AND FINALLY, the SuperMoon, topped off the weekend.
Bog!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! Great photos! I love the super moon pic!
Were you on the Walbran park?
I'm looking forward to seeing your roses bloom!!!
Venus Flytrap! I was at the parking lot, up the hill, around the corner! A good view of Trial Islands. TONS of cars there, and I was lucky to find a spot to wait. CHILLY WINDY NIGHT! Had to wait until the スーパームーン crested the cloud bank.
