#gardening report: Watching pea micro greens for harvest time. Started new batch of spicy microgreens. Checking on bulbs in the fridge, amaryllis and cally and canna and begonias in the garage. Gifting more of the July garlic harvest, and transplanting the bromeliads as something isn't right with them. #PlayingInTheDirt #microgreens #bulbs #amaryllis #perennials #WinterGardening

This is the final pink #cosmos bloom of 2025.

I was quite impressed with how long they held on, refusing to stop blooming, after several big rain/wind storms & temperatures dropping. I appreciated these flowers, when almost all other plants ceased to produce flowers.

We grow 3 different coloured #snapdragons - these red ones, white & yellow ones too. We have more of the reds than the other two. Like pansies - snapdragons are hella resilient flowering plants. When well mulched, they survive & produce blooms in midst of Winter - defying snow & ice conditions.

Snapdragons started being cultivated by gardeners in the 15th century.

Fernwood Community Centre is one of several local community centres which have put in free food & pollinator gardens outside their grounds. It's wonderful to have more edible gardens all around our communities 🙂
Fernwood Community organization also stewards a small community orchard.

A full shot of an outdoor mixed garden bed filled with marigolds and leafy salad greens plants, against a yellow painted wall. The marigolds are bright yellow with many blossoms in various stages of bloom, with a few small buds and some dried out blossoms. The leaves of the marigolds are a vibrant green with some leaves that have turned brown. The bottom of the flower bed has a black netting material and some brown, dry leaves.Close-up shot of a wet lettuce plant, going to seed. Showcasing its green and maroon coloration with water droplets clinging to the edges; the leaf's jagged edges are visible, and the background is a blurred yellow wall and green plants.

A close-up shot of a maroon and white dahlia flower in full bloom, with a bud and green leaves also visible. The dahlia is the main focus, with deep maroon petals on the inside that turn white towards the tips. The center of the flower has a textured, rounded shape in yellow. To the right of the flower is a closed bud of the same plant and surrounded by green leaves. The background is a yellow exterior building wall.
