An Early July Look at the Square Foot Garden Beds

In an effort to make my garden update videos shorter I have decided to do them at various times in three separate categories today's is a look at what is happening in the Square Foot Garden Beds. The other two categories are the non pruned Tomatoes in the garden and greenhouse with a look at the things that are growing with them and the last category is The first nations style permaculture three sisters garden. So each future update will cover one of these topics.

Who is this Mystery Clematis ???

I suppose I must have planted this in my garden years ago but I don't think I have ever seen it bloom before. It is growing in a garden that I have allowed to go wild a mixture of shrubs, trees and perennials in a woodland setting along with wild flowers. This is sort of hidden behind some tall shrubs and is growing up a natural arch that the American Bittersweet has designed all on its own. It might have bloomed other years and I just didn't see it but I'm sure I would have remembered if I had, it is a stunner. If you know what variety this might be let me know.

Lavender and Roses blooming must be summer.

We have had a wonderful change in the weather lately. Dry sunny and at last warm. The lavender is almost in bloom and the roses are at their peak. I have never made them before but I plan to try Lavender Wands as soon as the Lavender is in full blooms.
