I bought some Stella D'Oro daylilies...
...for an area I'd originally planned to plant a Drift rose...
...but the hole I dug had zero drainage.

Is the growing season long enough in this area?
How fun! Wine and dancing are always welcome
I have a manuscript I'm working on that's set in Tennessee... maybe I can write it off as a research trip Dang, that's too bad! We have a rosebush like that one that I love to bits, but I didn't realize how much it would spread--didn't give it enough clear space. Now it ends up creeping out into the yard and getting munched by the mower in places.I bought some Stella D'Oro daylilies...

I guess the red ones can get three feet in diameter.
I'm hoping to find one in the grocery store.
LOL! Just a fruit, or a whole tree?

Started harvesting lettuce a couple weeks ago, sugar snap peas (my favorite!) last week and tomatoes in the last few days! 
Hey, boys and girls.....'tis the season for fried green tomatoes! And like Bookworm said, it's required growing if you're gonna grow in the South. (What, you've never seen Steel Magnolias??)
Try this next time you're fryin' some maters:
To ½ c. cornmeal add 3 T. chili powder, ¼ c. chopped fresh basil, and ¼ c. shredded Romano cheese.
Dredge like you normally do.
Salt your slices after they've been fried.
Heaven on a plate.

That is SUCH a cool statue!
I envy you the berries! Bugs got most of our strawberries (dammit), and I can't get raspberries or blackberries to grow for anything. We blew through the peas quickly (have to remember to plant more next year), and the spinach and radishes. Now we have chard, tomatoes, carrots, cukes, and tons of herbs. I found out that my volunteer plants were garlic! I didn't deliberately plant it, but somehow it was in the garden. I had no idea what it was, but let it grow because it looked intentional (lol). Very glad I did--I've never had better garlic. We should have lots more tomatoes soon, and tomatillos. I freaking love our garden
You're making me hungry! LOVE fried green tomatoes. Have you ever tried it with tomatillos? DELICIOUS!
A few years ago we had seeds that must have been in the compost pile take over the garden. Since we couldn't tell exactly what was what (all squash leaves looked the same to me), we decided to just let them go and see what happened. Acorn squash and pumpkins crossed, and that was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten
Never tried parsnips or turnips--are they difficult to grow? We did kohlrabi a few years ago, and I've heard that it tastes quite a bit like turnip.

I'm so sorry steve, but I just have to say it. Turnips are Satan!A few years ago we had seeds that must have been in the compost pile take over the garden.

With silver bells and cockle shells...and one damn weed.
