It's always interesting to see how plants develop so I thought I would show a few before and after shots of some plants as they have developed in the garden.
The Aquilegia / Columbine (pictured above) look great in its prime (left) and about four weeks later they're full of seed heads. This is one plant I can't bother to remove spent flowers - way too much work!

| Above and Below: Potatoes growing in a container with two weeks growth and some earthing up in between photos. |

| The chives keep multiplying. Above photo taken 1st June and three weeks later in flower (below). |
I'm hoping to organise my photo library soon to get more 'before' and 'after' shots - if you have any, please do show them on your blog!

That's very nice to see how a plant developped.
ReplyDeleteI hope you show us more in the future, because I like to see it just so jou let's see us.
greetings Elly
Very nice, Kelli, to see your garden grow and develop. I love the chives blooming...mine never bloom.
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze does it? I predict lots more aquilegias from those seed heads.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take long for everything to grow once they get going. I always gets lots of self seeded aquilegias as I never remove spent flowers either.
ReplyDeleteLooks really great. Again I'm jealous of your lettuce. Seeing this I get a crazy desire to move to Ireland. I could grow all the lettuce I want without this horrible heat :D
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to keep up with the garden and the photos, isn't it? I don't bother to dead head the columbine. They will self seed and then will be more next year. They are one my favorites. Your garden looks great.
