So... Anyone ever grow a pineapple?

[adrina]

this thread is a joy

it's like a peaceful time-out from the rest of the thread.

say 'hi' to fata for me and tell your azalea i think she's bloomin' beautiful

I'm surprised I haven't caught hell from Fata yet.

With climate warming, I don't know whether to prep the yard for wine grapes or go all the way to pineapple.

Hedge your bet, go with a grove of sugar maples.

The moose won't let those grow higher than 2' off the ground. It's candy for them.

Something bright and cheerful.

Snapdragons and the gazania.

Maybe build a wall and make Canada pay for it?

Fata has gone for the season. I hope to see her daughter(s) next year.

One of the best last pictures I got of her. She was weaving again. They do that a lot.

Me too.

They're coming along. This was from last week - I snapped it while all the gazania were open. The snapdragons are a little bigger this week - and I'll need to deadhead some soon.

Garden oddities.

This is a volunteer coleus. In the pavers and marble chips. Interesting area to grow - and I don't expect it to survive - but we'll see how it does while it does.

I relocated Marsha to a sunnier area about a month ago. It seems to be agreeing with her as she's gotten bigger.
