I thought I had dug up the whole shrub and put it in a new place, guess not. </span></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruhddrM72NeB2xVMjSBNSa5uWGQmqfkUe28-eLk2M21VJy-cxwT8pHAEosoHn0KHv8Yb2K8yBGNNJs0FGwmQuXnESJYHbzR53ZIgQ3nExFPpnmBWmjSySalqRfqP4kh0DWGT_xQYy4NSxZFw2TR1gal3U6vIuSY4xVJrcEFkMFPyXYyvv9riwBELrTiE/s2150/PXL_20240111_215541016.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1912" data-original-width="2150" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruhddrM72NeB2xVMjSBNSa5uWGQmqfkUe28-eLk2M21VJy-cxwT8pHAEosoHn0KHv8Yb2K8yBGNNJs0FGwmQuXnESJYHbzR53ZIgQ3nExFPpnmBWmjSySalqRfqP4kh0DWGT_xQYy4NSxZFw2TR1gal3U6vIuSY4xVJrcEFkMFPyXYyvv9riwBELrTiE/w400-h356/PXL_20240111_215541016.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hydrangea quercifolia</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Moss covers the ground in this area in a thick patch.

The irrigation and electric guys sort of coordinated their work, wet weather delayed a good bit of it. (Short story- we installed a new pump in the late summer. When it was time to disconnect it for the winter, it went quite easily. After patting ourselves on our backs, we forgot to turn off the power to the pump at the house. The pump was scheduled to run that night... oops. Not sure if the pump has an automatic shut-off but we worried that the pump burned out. Since it was already drained, we just waited until reconnection in the spring to see if we needed to buy another new pump.) Once the electric was back connected we tested the pump. Hooray!! The pump wasn't burned out, works well. After the electricians finished, then we waited for irrigation to be put back in. After installation, I tested the valves and all were working! <div>Because of the rain and no sod in the lower part of the yard, I had no need to run the sprinklers until a few days ago. A couple sprinkler heads are no longer connected, so until they come back out I have some hoses and sprinklers to get the areas where needed.<br /><div>Sod time. The guys came and prepped the yard for two days to level out the ravines where rain had worn ruts in the raw soil. There were a lot of large rocks that needed to be removed, you can't grow grass on a rock. Sod was put down today. Once it is rooted in and growing this lower part of the yard will be a great spot to play with the grandkids when they visit and the dog(s).</div><div><br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwZx5sV3SQQttKRMl9X8Yn6WXkM6cjmLj5JHStr58928fS5tHNK1OgVWTslgMMzx5NchPLXudHhcRAQhoN0teSJWf7igezaQ9XHYFFH020xLbIn9HirTlrfwJG_JCDOnDqaP7d9VI2Y-aurGYurXSJeE_Edo-cMcmHlev0Bbsh7TS7d9_7W1uMqpAY/s4080/PXL_20230609_173822177.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="483" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwZx5sV3SQQttKRMl9X8Yn6WXkM6cjmLj5JHStr58928fS5tHNK1OgVWTslgMMzx5NchPLXudHhcRAQhoN0teSJWf7igezaQ9XHYFFH020xLbIn9HirTlrfwJG_JCDOnDqaP7d9VI2Y-aurGYurXSJeE_Edo-cMcmHlev0Bbsh7TS7d9_7W1uMqpAY/w640-h483/PXL_20230609_173822177.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">2023 June</td></tr></tbody></table>The yard is a lot bigger!!

We heard a bird singing in the front garden of one of our first stops. It was hard to see the bird through the leaves and branches of the trees in the very lush front garden. I was chatting with both <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jean_mcweeney/?fbclid=IwAR2PjO2dCt4F3ElNwetBnFkJSF7QURzXMIFeF0FpnxRu9voQovAFvYea1JA">Jean</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ourlittleacre">Kylee</a> and we couldn't figure out who was singing. A little later, in the back yard both Kylee and Jean shared that it was a White-eyed Vireo. They made the identification through one of the Cornell bird apps, <a href="https://birdnet.cornell.edu/">BirdNET </a></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJwBFca0fNRy7ZuXQmb3PSUl_KY3XMF2QELIK6AxUqOhkC0Oz4d4XN3GgjSUIcJih-_mvGyADa7AEb4hwZ70ahzlblRwT3NCIEPFXDtiDpcLtn67OwM6bL49jhD7e7EhVQ6pDZ1E7_Wc4EjNb7AsjLa-CUIeBB-aIOjnUJ2XOMFqeZmZrjXS6-TZHu" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="240" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJwBFca0fNRy7ZuXQmb3PSUl_KY3XMF2QELIK6AxUqOhkC0Oz4d4XN3GgjSUIcJih-_mvGyADa7AEb4hwZ70ahzlblRwT3NCIEPFXDtiDpcLtn67OwM6bL49jhD7e7EhVQ6pDZ1E7_Wc4EjNb7AsjLa-CUIeBB-aIOjnUJ2XOMFqeZmZrjXS6-TZHu" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was easy to use, Kylee gave me a quick tutorial and I downloaded the app right away. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Back at home I am always watching the birds, making identifications, taking photos, and I put together a bird book for each of my grandkids.

Last month I was happy to see a male Eastern Towhee scratching around the base of the seed feeder. When I first saw a Towhee, I thought it was a mutant Robin!

I heard a bird in my front woods. It was singing a little chirpy song and I didn't know who it was.

That's its chirp, quite distinctive! It is an Eastern Wood-Peewee. I didn't know this bird at all, so I needed to see if I could see who was singing way up in the pine tree. Next step was to get my camera with the zoom lens. As many of you also experience, once the camera comes out, all is quiet. I had a Dragonfly float around and land near me. Thanks Mr. Dragonfly.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNuV5ScecrOqNnh-qi4-lpx1BbHnQu70qVKFR_LADQcuYWdjc5gEnpn7R4wKH_sXTKkO6ytV26UXK1H6HX0s0k2bd2FErDmA2cYKRwQBb4lnhjROQDznJcjkEtco5VUZE187kdJAkTFmPi0yCrGxhK2Zz5CeH1lJw7zxzG6JgC7D1CFNix_4qSbIo/s2379/IMG_5931.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1784" data-original-width="2379" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNuV5ScecrOqNnh-qi4-lpx1BbHnQu70qVKFR_LADQcuYWdjc5gEnpn7R4wKH_sXTKkO6ytV26UXK1H6HX0s0k2bd2FErDmA2cYKRwQBb4lnhjROQDznJcjkEtco5VUZE187kdJAkTFmPi0yCrGxhK2Zz5CeH1lJw7zxzG6JgC7D1CFNix_4qSbIo/s320/IMG_5931.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I walked back to the house, giving up on getting a photo of my new-to-me bird when he started singing again. This time he was closer, sort of. He was in a tall pine and behind a small branch. I walked up the driveway, slowly as to not scare him away and zoomed in on him. According to Cornell's <a href="http://Allaboutbirds.org">Allaboutbirds.org</a> it is smaller than a Bluebird and larger than a Chickadee. The muted colors made it a bit of a challenge to find through the viewfinder, but patience paid off. Finally got a few good photos. One of the photos shows him in mid-chirp, which helped me know for sure he was the one chirping/singing.

In 2010 we moved to South Carolina from Virginia. If I were to have to guess, I would say it was only 5 or 6 years! Wow. I hadn't done a yearly review of the yard/gardens for a couple years. Here are a few links to previous posts with photos of progress.

I added a short dry creek bed in the front yard to help with the mulch getting washed downhill. Our lake front area is a mess. I had it redone a few years ago with Hayscented ferns <i>Dennstaedtia punctiloba</i>, <i>Panicum virgatum </i>'Shenandoah', and four <i>Podocarpus macrophyllus</i> 'Pringles Dwarf'. The ferns needed more water in some areas, the grasses didn't thrive like they should and the Pringles were eaten by the deer. The irrigation wasn't working like it should have. I had it set to go off in the wee hours of dawn, only to find an error code for valve one- the largest section of the yard. Now I manually start the sprinklers and they work fine. Not sure what the issue was. Finally, there was also a tree that fell onto the bank- crushing some of the grasses and ferns. I won't share that area today... maybe another time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2mwRxQD6zoSEIRCpA-R4ohr-I4olK1fd45NXaGHT7d_SsLR9yo-nNOQ_PLdu2jJvnmIpijd0PsTm_H2opQMKXI_OkRRtPnp1OZqtZ82_yH0fsZpEuMhNxdx4fjlOv4BH6dKqFBzlOBEjhIsfBnqGIU8lG8PjjP_dxjTyj88CzeYUS0-18hhfWAndn/s4039/IMG_5804-1.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="4039" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2mwRxQD6zoSEIRCpA-R4ohr-I4olK1fd45NXaGHT7d_SsLR9yo-nNOQ_PLdu2jJvnmIpijd0PsTm_H2opQMKXI_OkRRtPnp1OZqtZ82_yH0fsZpEuMhNxdx4fjlOv4BH6dKqFBzlOBEjhIsfBnqGIU8lG8PjjP_dxjTyj88CzeYUS0-18hhfWAndn/w640-h616/IMG_5804-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Front garden</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The front garden is filled with four Drift Roses 'Popcorn', one <i>Loropetalum</i> 'Purple Pixie', <i>Cercis canadensis</i> 'Ruby Falls' Redbud.

In the small garden, in the photo above is <i>Prunus mume</i> 'Hokkia-bungo' which just shines in December and January. On a warm day the honey bees are all over the blooms, happy to have something blooming at that time of year. Groundcover along the driveway in that garden is <i>Hypericum caylcinum</i> 'Brigadoon'. In the photo below, you can get a better view of the newest garden. A few years ago I decided to mulch the center of the front yard and put in a pollinator garden. The armadillo population and I have a running battle with the plants in that garden. I say they should stay, the armadillo thinks there might be good eats under those plants. To protect the center of the garden I have a small garden fence/edging. In this mulched area I have four Japanese maples- Red Dragon, Butterfly, Virdis, and Crimson Queen.

I finally ended up digging a trench and making my little dry creek bed. Hardwood mulch washes downhill too easily, so I changed it to be a pine straw mulch. Part way down the hill, in the bed, is a <i>Crypotmeria globosa</i> 'Nana', a really nice evergreen. Dotted along the edge of the rocks of the creek bed I planted a few Pitcher plants, <i>Sarracenia flava.</i> The one at the top of the hill I put a berm behind it to keep water at the plant's roots for a bit longer than if there was no berm. I have had success with them in the garden so I am going to get some of the other species. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZdcQXraFD1Fg6QGlWmfBL-ISn5EFN9u45hdbYRx6XZtZQi1SuBr6bZT9te0TglFEXsj9e31tR-hE2H2AXbwNRvZaR4EuZPes9FJa9_X4lG9yThYO2wSOfwPm1276C_htYjCruI2EAj0n_v6ucJKQQW4EQLH3HHUU1E3uwz8vJz5TXjeG12PoDCzC/s5184/IMG_5833.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZdcQXraFD1Fg6QGlWmfBL-ISn5EFN9u45hdbYRx6XZtZQi1SuBr6bZT9te0TglFEXsj9e31tR-hE2H2AXbwNRvZaR4EuZPes9FJa9_X4lG9yThYO2wSOfwPm1276C_htYjCruI2EAj0n_v6ucJKQQW4EQLH3HHUU1E3uwz8vJz5TXjeG12PoDCzC/w300-h400/IMG_5833.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>From the front yard we will walk around the house on the low side to the back.

She loves to fetch. In the winter the water runs down through the yard, making it tough for the grass to grow. Maybe by fall the grass will have filled in. The shrubs along the house include a nice stand of <i>Deutzia gracilis</i> 'Nikko', three Camellias and a couple hydrangeas. The deer know these hydrangeas quite well. We had a late freeze this year and knocked back all the Deutzia blooms. The garden that borders the woods has four or more St. John's Wort, <i>Hypericum frondosum</i> 'Sunburst', it reseeds a bit and I have replanted those tiny seedlings further along the garden. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2384" data-original-width="3691" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-1eaj6ueyYgSLqe2u6nSYAYePsSJwizjDIVTf1N2HGYvwDe1iiTuWI086mspBvEQfMvuKoD-R6O4tfUEYtlnGZUbdgCeaeK52eZNoR_4TS78qW40KbYU_B2sCRTslpG6blbPQURrE89mTrMCgsEhpMNpNzWnyRUmam09L_0quqZfcMt7zFbs_P8U/w640-h414/IMG_5802-1.JPG" width="640" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From the driveway looking down the side yard, the <i>Edgeworthia chrysantha</i> is quite large.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCceIJXWlWhejH2qDdLP1Q0lcIz6XGS6p2khET3DQPMoAAHRvcolKke3mApiFFs34El1iWtUhBNX1lQZlFCnCbwaVJZAhvEGC7LxkmkYI0OeegzZrVI7V7t9BZk87UjSdqBfMOGf43A7gw0KiuN1ZGzoT1yR03SIGLjzBK5hUgFqwlHdYny_4vMSBt/s5184/IMG_5831.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCceIJXWlWhejH2qDdLP1Q0lcIz6XGS6p2khET3DQPMoAAHRvcolKke3mApiFFs34El1iWtUhBNX1lQZlFCnCbwaVJZAhvEGC7LxkmkYI0OeegzZrVI7V7t9BZk87UjSdqBfMOGf43A7gw0KiuN1ZGzoT1yR03SIGLjzBK5hUgFqwlHdYny_4vMSBt/w640-h480/IMG_5831.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Last but not least is the garden up by the road.

On the grounds of this Arboretum, there are four mature American Chestnut, <i>Castanea dentata. </i>We all know about the loss of the Chestnut due to Chestnut blight across its native range where it was approximately 25% of the forest. Before the blight the Chestnut was widely planted both for its shade as well as lumber uses and seed production. Wisconsin is not in its native range. In the 1800-early 1900's Chestnuts were planted in Wisconsin as well as Minnesota. According to a <a href="chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://images.library.wisc.edu/WI/EFacs/transactions/WT1975/reference/wi.wt1975.cdtiedemann.pdf">study paper</a> I read the theory for its success in these areas were both the isolation of these trees from the ones in the Appalachian mountain range and the Westerly winds. The study was written in 1975, so some of the data is not up to date. There was a National Champion Chestnut tree in Trempealeau county in Wisconsin on the Lunde farm. In 1960 this giant of a tree measured 11 feet circumference at 4.5 feet high, was 67 feet tall, and had a canopy spread of 55 feet. In 1975 it was superceded by a tree in Oregon City, Oregon that was measured at 15 ft. 8 in. circumference, 90 ft. tall, and a spread of 64 ft. <div>The Chestnut trees in the UW-Madison Arboretum were presented to the arboretum by H. D. Tiemann, Forest Products Laboratory Director, however the date is not known. According to our guide, they were donated in the 1950's and planted in the Arboretum in the 1960's. (Had I had a pen that worked in hand my information would be more exact. I tried to find the information the guide told us, to no avail.) There were four Chestnuts planted and in 1974 were measured. The largest one was 15 ft. tall, 8.5 inches in circumference, and had an 8 foot spread. </div><div>The stand of the four American Chestnuts really stood out as they were all in bloom!

Well, this gorgeous deep red rose sprouted from root stock. I had a David Austin rose, <i>Rosa </i>'Olivia' in a container in this garden bed. Sadly, it was just at deer eating height. When I dug the rose out of the container there were some roots that had traveled out of the hole in the bottom of the container and into the garden. I thought I had dug up all remaining roots, but it looks as though I was wrong. This unnamed red rose is probably a rambler based on its growth habit. This coming winter I will rework this corner of the garden. The rose is fragrant and a gorgeous deep red. I love it against the yellow of the creeping St. John's Wort, <i>Hypericum calycinum</i> 'Brigadoon'.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVYQg_A98ZJ7h8FpOmNH5HmBCZjeZVV6GZWLpv5xp0uRign3RLgoBGArK26LgvWbpqDtYPltS0Ea1V0jDCUh3sxsnxDKjqJIxtHZZOzST-mmMtKuMN0LlJzQgwWbibONEUbKOqwd2dN-JoloFAIGZ3nI8hbxi4jPx3opS7Ixf6F1ZIEMBgfXia1o0Q/s4032/PXL_20220502_160405490.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVYQg_A98ZJ7h8FpOmNH5HmBCZjeZVV6GZWLpv5xp0uRign3RLgoBGArK26LgvWbpqDtYPltS0Ea1V0jDCUh3sxsnxDKjqJIxtHZZOzST-mmMtKuMN0LlJzQgwWbibONEUbKOqwd2dN-JoloFAIGZ3nI8hbxi4jPx3opS7Ixf6F1ZIEMBgfXia1o0Q/w480-h640/PXL_20220502_160405490.jpg" width="480" /></a></div></div><br /></div><div>Surprises in the garden come in fauna form, some with legs and some without.

This summer it is time to get back to what we love. We garden bloggers have been gathering together for years, going on what we call Garden Bloggers Fling. It started as a Spring Fling, but the calendar allowed for spring into summer trips, depending on the location of that year's Fling. You can read about my Fling experiences by clicking on the labels at the bottom of the post. </div><div>This year's Fling will be in Madison Wisconsin. We will gather as gardener bloggers and leave as friends. The Fling will be June 23- 26, 2022. Our hosts Beth and Anneliese have a great line-up of gardens to visit. They have worked hard, first for the 2020 Fling, cancelled because of COVID, then moved to 2021-again COVID had other plans, and now 2022!! Registration is now open. The Garden Bloggers Fling link is <a href="https://gardenbloggersfling.blogspot.com/2022/03/register-for-madison-fling.html?m=1" style="background-color: #fcff01;">here</a>. </div><div>If you are a garden blogger or Instagrammer, you are one of us! Come and join the ranks of Flingers. The details are<span style="background-color: #fcff01;"> <a href="https://gardenbloggersfling.blogspot.com/2014/11/attending-garden-bloggers-fling.html">here</a></span>, on our Garden Blogger Fling page. While there you can explore some of the previous Flings, see what fun we have and all the great folks you will call friends. </div><div>The sponsors are great supporters of our Fling. They help with costs of putting on the Fling and also share some of their products. You never know, you might come home with a new tool, a great plant, or a wonderful garden themed gift. (the rose pictured below was a donation from David Austin roses that I won!) </div><div><br /></div><div>Questions about the Fling? Ask me in the comments.

I record and report the rainfall to CoCoRaHS, a citizen community, reporting of precipitation across the country and Canada. If you are interested is participating, please go to <a href="http://cocorahs.org">cocorahs.org</a> for all the info. Since I have been recording the rainfall for a number of years, I can gather that data and chart it. You know, if you have had rain for a week you might think it has been a wet fall (or spring or winter or summer) but if you record those rainfall amounts over time you will see highs and lows. Below is my chart for the years 2016- 2021</div><div><br /><br /></div><div><img height="276"

It certainly makes for some striking photo opportunities. Fall, with its bold colors, can give you some incredible photos.

Great light, tree on the right side of the driveway glowing. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgdCxUz1K7ndcnexKhSiBun_1CyuZpXW4NIHYHEgCTTjV4W6a-nV-cueT6yjwmwvuAUWXgQ6pZkBnLBMEdk3ZzbAv4okwfcNFA9L1f_fpw_ZCndciBQmlCQCjevOkrnfSvtZrANEr7gc/s4032/PXL_20211116_144038258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgdCxUz1K7ndcnexKhSiBun_1CyuZpXW4NIHYHEgCTTjV4W6a-nV-cueT6yjwmwvuAUWXgQ6pZkBnLBMEdk3ZzbAv4okwfcNFA9L1f_fpw_ZCndciBQmlCQCjevOkrnfSvtZrANEr7gc/w640-h480/PXL_20211116_144038258.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This second photo was taken 4:01 PM.

Train of thought gets interrupted and the flow of my words seems to be stilted, so I put it down for a while...again and again. I started this in April, so much of the beginning text is mute- mostly comments about weather and chiggers and wanting to get this done before the really hot weather kicks in. So without further procrastination, here is my irrigation project.--</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the items I wanted to have done this past winter was to get some irrigation up to the street for the garden. I had someone lined up and it fell through sadly. The method he was going to install the water was pretty straight forward. I Googled a bunch of YouTubes and decided it was something I could do myself. </div><div><br /></div><div>After getting the mulch done (see last post) and having some sunny days ahead I went about ordering the needed items. </div><blockquote><div>Disclaimer: I am going to show a specific product. I have not been compensated in any way for use of this item. My thoughts are my own, positive and negative.</div></blockquote><p>Ordering online for pick-up at the store is a nice way to shop for irrigation parts and accessories. I ordered Mr. Landscaper Premium kit at Lowe's. The water source is to be my spigot at the well, about one hundred feet from the street. The kit came with 100 feet of tubing and after figuring out the distance involved, I ordered two more bundles of 100 feet of 1/2 inch tubing to carry the water from the well to the garden at the street. I also ordered more stakes to hold the tubing at ground level, more couplers to connect tubing, and an elbow connector. I went back to get more ground stakes and a Y-connector for the spigot and a few more sprinklers and sprayer heads. Seems like every task or homeowner improvement project needs multiple trips to the store. This project is no different. </p><p>The installation is pretty straight forward and I am writing / photographing this is to show others that it is almost foolproof. Follow the photos and the captions to a quick and easy project.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr9H1MiKs3ufjMyGZSRNcgwxrFShvkQZxFBHsFASd-R1OFNafFaLpCT_6Xnm0Y69OJFZQql4q45HQ8kbndW7Ejfxf3aC5CnWUOpUfTzGmJ47nkkXeffWFJhRx6urvT9_ZjgoiRWTwhLhY/s2048/PXL_20210419_173802787.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

I think I can add two more sprayers to reach the capacity of sprayers per hose to spigot. The garden is filling in now that there is water. Much of what is planted up at the street, in full sun, is drought tolerant but the added water allows me to add some other plants. </p><p>Winterizing this is easy. Just take the hose off the end crimper (the black thing with the two holes) and drain the water. If there are issues after a cold winter I will update. </p><p>My assessment of this type of irrigation -- I like it, I might add another to the other side of the driveway to benefit some of my azaleas and dogwoods that are on the high side of the driveway. The water connection has to be figured out for this one. If I didn't have in ground irrigation for the rest of the yard, fed from the lake, I would think about adding something like this to specific spots that need the extra water. </p><p>Do you have projects that you are pleased with? </p><blockquote> </blockquote><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>©Copyright 2021 <a href="http://thequeenofseaford.blogspot.com/">Janet</a>.

Working with bees ones also needs to be aware of sound pest management. There are both pests and diseases that a beekeeper needs to manage to keep a healthy hive. This post will address a few of the pests. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One pest we have not had in our hives, for which I am quite thankful, is wax moths. Visual assessment of the hive boxes will let you know if you have these moths. Good hygiene is critical. As with any pest, letting it go for too long makes it that much more difficult to get rid of. If you have wax moths/larvae a good clean of all frames and boxes is needed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hive beetles are an ongoing pest in the hive. These beetles are small black beetles, a little larger than a Sesame seed. The bees do a good job of 'cornering' the beetles in the upper parts of the hive. To assist with the corralling of said beetles, we use beetle traps. It is a long narrow reservoir with a perforated top. You fill the reservoir with mineral oil and nestle it in between two frames, in an upper box and at the outside region of the frames. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGsU1vDyLampcs1GXa-Jjo8uhewpX_DtwwU1Q4CsyAsqC4omYwb9MZlDfxnRmM6bKoSzCjDsMA2x6WDFdpmPEnFPwFbsZoNSjaDdcUBisOJE8FlMM0KkFqAgGSrWK_QKqiUYOOn7NaQ94/s4608/49830723281_ed1ded7e7b_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4608" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGsU1vDyLampcs1GXa-Jjo8uhewpX_DtwwU1Q4CsyAsqC4omYwb9MZlDfxnRmM6bKoSzCjDsMA2x6WDFdpmPEnFPwFbsZoNSjaDdcUBisOJE8FlMM0KkFqAgGSrWK_QKqiUYOOn7NaQ94/w400-h266/49830723281_ed1ded7e7b_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These beetle traps remain in the hives year round, replaced when full of dead beetles.

These mites are tiny, about the size of a poppy seed, but flat. The mites lay their eggs in with the bee larvae and once the cell of the bee larvae is capped, the mites grow along with the bee. The mites continue laying eggs inside the capped cell. Once the bee emerges from its cell, there is a large brood of mites as well. The mites weaken the bees. To test for Varroa mites you need to sacrifice about 100 bees per hive. We have a special jar contraption. It is two jars, one on top of the other, that share a lid. This lid is mesh top with a threaded screw on top and bottom. One hundred bees are gathered into the jar and the other side is filled with rubbing alcohol. You close the jar and shake it so the alcohol is mixed with the bees. This kills both the bees and the mites. You then check the rubbing alcohol to count the number of mites per one hundred bees. You don't want more than three per hundred. <div><br /></div><div>If you have more than three per hundred, treatment is needed. We first used Apivar strips for treatment. It is a chemically treated piece of plastic that the bees walk on. The bees pick up the chemical and spread it around the hive to each other. These strips remain in the hive for 42 days. While the claim is that there is no significant residue in the wax, honey, pollen or propolis, we chose to keep the honey supers off the hives during this time.

They hang from the top of the frame. I think this delayed our honey for harvesting. We learned about another method for treating Varroa mites last year. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKbOIkQktWIaXU3Ypre7OxjIFY5f5PXEjmzd4De0qt3yslVme3VIa3jhVmsDYVxToBdjph69d255m26jwD6qNPYHamTVHUMh_Tb45RH_BjouuFMe-9qXSeuC9eATcy0zEnsxyuMe7I66E/s4608/48887438607_a707908e3e_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKbOIkQktWIaXU3Ypre7OxjIFY5f5PXEjmzd4De0qt3yslVme3VIa3jhVmsDYVxToBdjph69d255m26jwD6qNPYHamTVHUMh_Tb45RH_BjouuFMe-9qXSeuC9eATcy0zEnsxyuMe7I66E/s320/48887438607_a707908e3e_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We are in the bee club in our area and one of the members shared how he treats the mites. We liked his method, so it is our method as well. It is a Vaporization of Oxalic Acid. We do three treatments, one week apart, twice a year. The Oxalic Acid is a natural element, doesn't harm the bees. We can remove the honey boxes (supers), treat the hives, then replace the honey supers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The powdered oxalic acid gets measured out, into the heating element. Specific directions can be found <a href="https://www.betterbee.com/instructions-and-resources/oxalic-acid-vaporization-using-a-varrox-wand.asp" target="_blank">here</a>. The heating element has jumper cable type clamps on the other end. We remove the honey supers and replace the covers to the hive. Measure out the correct amount of powder, 1/4 tsp. per box. The wand end of the heating element goes in the front door of the hive and a cloth gets stuffed in around to block the hole.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGrTsFsohbB-TL2rxhRnuXTR06eK4PWRvXJ5V3gi_wXJ46FQH3UfaNstyEHtPGJaM3RDAx33jmE2g-ytXhFCi3FvCFh4sU7D6qem5vDTJBY7ZUrrc7dgqHkzBuUPfl8dL5trFLE8NiNk/s4032/IMG_20191207_125353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGrTsFsohbB-TL2rxhRnuXTR06eK4PWRvXJ5V3gi_wXJ46FQH3UfaNstyEHtPGJaM3RDAx33jmE2g-ytXhFCi3FvCFh4sU7D6qem5vDTJBY7ZUrrc7dgqHkzBuUPfl8dL5trFLE8NiNk/w300-h400/IMG_20191207_125353.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's Charlie, suited up measuring out the powder, the jumper cable ends will get hooked to the riding lawn mower tractor battery.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqDEvkf8gIpM62FK8OEpn1wgtlON7XX1WtpWc8l_wypbhgAQ_WTzOZ-2k1YBgyd1Zlx5CUTtvmvWH37q75DHfbLu9XhkAswQmbkK2dmAjfNk0uNS8V0X3Yf3VRofcICN0NMirlOvs_fg/s4032/IMG_20200814_111812.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqDEvkf8gIpM62FK8OEpn1wgtlON7XX1WtpWc8l_wypbhgAQ_WTzOZ-2k1YBgyd1Zlx5CUTtvmvWH37q75DHfbLu9XhkAswQmbkK2dmAjfNk0uNS8V0X3Yf3VRofcICN0NMirlOvs_fg/w480-h640/IMG_20200814_111812.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Timing the application - hook the cables up for 2 1/2 minutes, disconnect the power and allow the heating element to remain in the hive for 2 more minutes. You should see smoke coming out through the seams at the top of the hive. After the allotted time, remove the heating element and seal the opening again for ten minutes to allow the smoke to permeate the entire hive. Place the heating element in a water bath to cool it before moving it on to the next hive. In the photo above you can see the honey super behind the hive. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRjEdzz2g_szM6fKWxiFCa2Xq4QaZ4mTbcCUTk2XPcV0ARDaYlm6AEGfg-0z4DkyNMCS9ihXcp29Pppjv8NNqFpsqqlChRXPeP4MVh-9OW25EJ7v8wgtzSYlf1X82TF2u2qVKPB7Y8cyc/s4032/IMG_20200814_113745.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRjEdzz2g_szM6fKWxiFCa2Xq4QaZ4mTbcCUTk2XPcV0ARDaYlm6AEGfg-0z4DkyNMCS9ihXcp29Pppjv8NNqFpsqqlChRXPeP4MVh-9OW25EJ7v8wgtzSYlf1X82TF2u2qVKPB7Y8cyc/w300-h400/IMG_20200814_113745.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After the ten minutes, remove the cloth at the front door of the hive. You can see the foragers want back in! When the front door is open you can remove the top lid and inner lid, replace the honey super and you are done with that hive. Like I said above, this is done three consecutive weeks, that way getting all foragers, all newly emerged brood and all the nurse maid bees exposed to the vapor of the oxalic acid. We do this in the spring and then again in the fall. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Will we have to continue to do Varroa mite treatments every year? I don't know, we will do the rubbing alcohol test and count the infestation. Some beekeepers don't treat for these mites, but you can risk losing a hive if they get overrun with the mites.</div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>©Copyright 2021 <a href="http://thequeenofseaford.blogspot.com/">Janet</a>.

Last Saturday night after watching Austin City Limits debut performance of Ray Wylie Hubbard, a different show came on. Funny how that works, right? Anyhow, Charlie was asleep and the remote was on his side of the bed, so I just watched as I drifted off to sleep. It was a a show on PBS UNC called <a href="https://www.pbs.org/show/echo-sessions/" target="_blank">Echo Sessions</a>. My interest was piqued by the performers for this week's show. Queen Bee and the Honeylovers. This band is from Asheville. For those who have read my blog for a while know I fell in love with Asheville when I went to my first <a href="http://gardenbloggersfling.blogspot.com/p/2012-asheville.html" target="_blank">Garden Blogger's Fling</a>. </div><div>The first two points in their favor are </div><div>1. bees - we like bees- even if it is the name of a band.</div><div>2. Asheville- the name of the CD, I gave this band a listen. </div><div>They are billed as a Swing Jazz band. The songs performed on this CD are original, written by Whitney Moore, the lead singer, or Whitney and Michael Gamble, James Posedel, or Steve Karla. Subject matter for this set of songs were legends of Asheville, many from Whitney's grandparents' stories. </div><div>A few more points in their favor go to the songs themselves. </div><div>3. One song is about Cornelia Vanderbilt, as she comes of age at the Biltmore hosting a masquerade ball. I love the Biltmore. During the <a href="https://thequeenofseaford.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-first-fling.html" target="_blank">Fling</a> we toured the gardens. Charlie and I went back to tour the house. What a remarkable place. </div><div>4. Zelda Fitzgerald- song title 'Legend of Zelda Fitzgerald' caught my ear as I listened to the show. Our neighborhood book club read a story of Zelda. <u>Guests on Earth </u> by Lee Smith, where it talked about her time in a hospital/sanitorium in Asheville. </div><div>5. I am The Queen, appreciate other royalty.</div><div><br /></div><div> The next morning I Googled this band and found their <a href="https://www.queenbeeswing.com/" target="_blank">website.</a> I ordered their CD and it arrived Tuesday. This morning I did my curbside pick up for groceries, I grabbed the new CD and drove into town. What a fun CD, the music is light and jazzy- just what they advertised- Swing Jazz. Whitney's voice is reminiscent of music from the 20s and 30s, with fresh songs. I love the ties to Asheville as she is a 4th generation Asheville native. </div><div>Their website mentions new material coming out, shows on television, like Echo Sessions, and radio interviews. Our favorite radio station, WNCW had their 'Asheville' CD on the list of listener-voted poll of top 100 albums at #41 for 2019 (I think I am late to the party with this band!!). </div><div><br /></div><div>Give a listen to the old standard 'Until the Real Thing Comes Along' </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UMncTfMuv9o" width="320" youtube-src-id="UMncTfMuv9o"></iframe></div><br /><div>All comments and thoughts are my own, no compensation for this review.

I have already diverted water flow in a few areas. The dry creek bed in the back yard was the first, you can read about it <a href="https://thequeenofseaford.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-river-ran-through-it.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I did not do that one, bigger task than I knew I could handle. </div><div>The second was in our front yard, done with my daughter Rachel's help. You will see the change in the front yard in <a href="https://thequeenofseaford.blogspot.com/2019/07/another-river-running-through-my-yard.html" target="_blank">this post done July, 2019</a>. Since then there was a mulch change from being hardwood mulch to pine straw. The pine straw has stayed put but needs to be refreshed. Unfortunately the dry creek bed that Rachel and I put in was in bad shape. Below photo is from the bottom of the hill, soil washed downhill into the rocks and there are winter weeds galore- no clear path for the water flow.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIMfYvIMmxa_tcafa27UVa90TG5bLsC_5Sr_xfZjLEiFBqJj6f64acXLXS66M7Sp984FAGQdd6SIKH5vqiJsbVyNB06mkuUiRUQHOneXsLduL-SuInBeeOXv34RtZ9D1t-XN_B8SoqOII/s4032/PXL_20210109_191958503.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIMfYvIMmxa_tcafa27UVa90TG5bLsC_5Sr_xfZjLEiFBqJj6f64acXLXS66M7Sp984FAGQdd6SIKH5vqiJsbVyNB06mkuUiRUQHOneXsLduL-SuInBeeOXv34RtZ9D1t-XN_B8SoqOII/w300-h400/PXL_20210109_191958503.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div> I hated how bad this looked and decided it was time to fix it.

We have a lake behind the house, so filling watering stations isn't an urgent issue. Bees use water in various ways. They use it to help cool the hive by putting a thin film of water across the brood and fanning it with their wings. They also use it to control the humidity of the hive. Water aides in the digestion of their food. Clean water is important to a healthy hive. There is a birdbath in our front yard that the bees frequent. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizC4yQTwFJGT3mNKIiK8WfwKnyUsLn-kaVA-bq4G-kWzRrTBAUTRPd0aLmRvHJkEsegHx2muFvVc-rGT6FQy2-83R4rEcgw9NsIZraCmuiVqUydp2QVKeEJd6LsJKFJoUArWQuNTdsKL8/s4032/IMG_20200309_164844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizC4yQTwFJGT3mNKIiK8WfwKnyUsLn-kaVA-bq4G-kWzRrTBAUTRPd0aLmRvHJkEsegHx2muFvVc-rGT6FQy2-83R4rEcgw9NsIZraCmuiVqUydp2QVKeEJd6LsJKFJoUArWQuNTdsKL8/w640-h480/IMG_20200309_164844.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But what about the times of year where there isn't anything blooming? A drought? A summer dearth? Many folks rely on the stores of honey that the bees have already put up. We didn't have a lot last year or the year before that because our bee population was still growing and the honey stores weren't that full. There are a few feeders that you can use to supplement food for the bees. The one that we have settled on is in the photo below. Charlie makes the solution with water and white cane sugar, similar to hummingbird food. The ratio for bees is 1:1, different than the hummingbird ratio of 4:1. The center of this feeder is open and the bees crawl up and over the center ridge, inside the screening. They are able to collect the sugar water and return to the boxes below. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalcf9Un9l87LIWMROnmB94946Z2NbhAlOX0g5nwgul-DRLR_6ayt3kjDqNv69wpwkAYDkS3mfWNNddsgQL14FtgvJH-lHxicKQxdmPB5iTRqGigr9qB6FOUgHvOvdp68oOEMBIWhV3lc/s4608/50501854142_235a051c9f_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalcf9Un9l87LIWMROnmB94946Z2NbhAlOX0g5nwgul-DRLR_6ayt3kjDqNv69wpwkAYDkS3mfWNNddsgQL14FtgvJH-lHxicKQxdmPB5iTRqGigr9qB6FOUgHvOvdp68oOEMBIWhV3lc/s320/50501854142_235a051c9f_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a good way to make sure the bees don't starve in the summer, but what about the winter? In the best case scenario the bees have honey stores to keep them through the winter. The first year we didn't collect any honey so there was a start of food for them over the winter. The second year we only collected four or five frames of honey so there were some frames of honey. More on collecting honey in a later post.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> To supplement in the winter we don't use the sugar water as it could freeze. We make sugar cakes or sugar fondant. It isn't like bakery fondant, recipe below. We put it in the hive and check every few weeks to see that there is still some sugar cake in the box. Making sure there is water in the winter is important as the bees use it to liquify the sugar cake in order to use it. In the photo below you see an orange plug in the wooden frame. The wooden frame with the plug is a spacer. You need to create a bit of space for the sugar cake so the lid fits snug on the hives. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNWyKqSXIJYGys9VI9hfUMFKZr0ety9WajjVrOfG80UVM52RzA61jcZCqgvHqmhKt0_4I4rZ51c0WIVk4pneE9_QieGCUd-KYUVgrf963jP84JPAieVFmqxxgWnH3jVpS3EftmzNutFI/s4032/IMG_20191225_143154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNWyKqSXIJYGys9VI9hfUMFKZr0ety9WajjVrOfG80UVM52RzA61jcZCqgvHqmhKt0_4I4rZ51c0WIVk4pneE9_QieGCUd-KYUVgrf963jP84JPAieVFmqxxgWnH3jVpS3EftmzNutFI/w300-h400/IMG_20191225_143154.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I know there are folks who don't feed their bees and the bees do fine. We don't want our bees to starve so making sure there is supplemental food available is easy enough for us to do. Ask five beekeepers what they do to feed their bees and you will get five answers. None are wrong as long as the bees don't die.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;">Bee Fondant Sugar Cake</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1part water to 4 parts sugar</div><div style="text-align: center;">1/4 tsp. vinegar for each pound of sugar</div><div style="text-align: center;">1/4 tsp. salt </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bring to a boil and boil for three minutes covered.

The item in the first photo is a nice to have item. A bee brush, a long soft bristled brush. We use it to sweep the bees away gently as we go about whatever it is that we need to do. You don't want to swat at the bees and get them excited (or angry). Gently sweeping them off the frame is a good way to get to business. Do you need a brush? I put this one in the 'nice to have' group. Can you go about working the hives without one? Yes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-811dGDbcaSgEFnFc0y4n-XVjeiwkqRdC5pFld1E6gwcCG2u67BL8YLakPgFt6DvE2GA47ScCpDuM7NHwHMiTbnJTqgBZ-wUCausqNK_sTZNGqZEJUJ9ZjloxFzdtA7eUSG458I8t-Q8/s4608/46927406915_49c91ee4e4_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4608" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-811dGDbcaSgEFnFc0y4n-XVjeiwkqRdC5pFld1E6gwcCG2u67BL8YLakPgFt6DvE2GA47ScCpDuM7NHwHMiTbnJTqgBZ-wUCausqNK_sTZNGqZEJUJ9ZjloxFzdtA7eUSG458I8t-Q8/w400-h266/46927406915_49c91ee4e4_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This next photo shows both a queen excluder that was mentioned in the previous post and a smoker. Some people don't use an excluder, but we want to make sure that brood isn't laid in the honey supers. Can you do without? Yes, but it might be messy when it is time to extract honey. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A smoker is used to calm the bees when you open the hive. I have not heard of anyone who does not use a smoker. It is in the 'you really ought to have' category. The smoke interrupts the alarm signal the bees send out that there is an intruder. You don't need a lot of smoke, but you also don't want the smoker to go out while you are doing something and need another puff. We use pine straw in the smoker, it produces a cool smoke, is readily available, and stays lit for a good while. We pump the bellows a few times at the front opening and also puff some smoke at the top as each box is opened.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-rz5kvblZBwqZKWjGq5vA8qaNkrRh0Z8JtDG9_0JQPGpwglYt2XJGUiouMMZCQyzwx8IYEmXbQIGikax71FB-NLGuYjnYncJLBMbemP3eXG1rWAtL_F_r-uCaQCK3QEdkQ-hzCFeFHmM/s4608/47989021121_e81a28e5f0_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4608" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-rz5kvblZBwqZKWjGq5vA8qaNkrRh0Z8JtDG9_0JQPGpwglYt2XJGUiouMMZCQyzwx8IYEmXbQIGikax71FB-NLGuYjnYncJLBMbemP3eXG1rWAtL_F_r-uCaQCK3QEdkQ-hzCFeFHmM/w640-h426/47989021121_e81a28e5f0_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Seen below is the inner lid.

It is a flat metal tool that has a hook on one end and a chiseled edge on the other end. It falls into the 'you really ought to have' category. The chiseled end helps pry the boxes apart. Bees produce something called propolis. It is a resin type substance that the bees use to seal their frames and boxes together. There are some health benefits and propolis is something that some people save and use. I know no more about that but I can tell you it seals those hives tight. If you don't have a hive tool, it will be very hard to get the boxes apart and the frames out. The hooked end is good for assisting in lifting the frames out. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0-0KTU5SGVsXcclzAe5IlibnKQ1-Sqk7viunID0j55vIrGXZV9VHFHuiBgD5-1iFXaDQB1Xtfmn2JXICzQ1Sgfp3VeAjbnVDe5Vz-_JF8DAdzwtvyBsHRKC87Axgu15knRm0VMW8Lpo/s4608/48887495037_1d6f5175e0_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4608" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0-0KTU5SGVsXcclzAe5IlibnKQ1-Sqk7viunID0j55vIrGXZV9VHFHuiBgD5-1iFXaDQB1Xtfmn2JXICzQ1Sgfp3VeAjbnVDe5Vz-_JF8DAdzwtvyBsHRKC87Axgu15knRm0VMW8Lpo/w640-h426/48887495037_1d6f5175e0_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In all the these photos you see Charlie's hands in leather gloves. I put gloves in the 'you really ought to have' category though there are people who work their hives with no protective gear on at all. More power to them. We don our protective gear spring, summer, and fall. Depending on what we are doing in the winter, we may or may not wear our gear. Winter time the bees are generally more docile and slow moving. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2u1SfjQTLz-aGPYLqip_FWFMkzR5sndyj8tnXonZAGc5uatW_PtcFbjW1DRSSRW4QujB6KvEB69E6dej71Oi61qghxMaTv0aBx2_kKzDL1VbhDVMDRQnKxw7my4glf1YmUJ7_Uxm4xyA/s4032/IMG_20200301_125406.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2u1SfjQTLz-aGPYLqip_FWFMkzR5sndyj8tnXonZAGc5uatW_PtcFbjW1DRSSRW4QujB6KvEB69E6dej71Oi61qghxMaTv0aBx2_kKzDL1VbhDVMDRQnKxw7my4glf1YmUJ7_Uxm4xyA/w300-h400/IMG_20200301_125406.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am including this photo below as a strong suggestion that one should wear good fitting gear.

To me this is a 'you really ought to have' category. You see my gloves, they go up to above the elbow. I also wear rubber boots that I tuck my pants into. Charlie does not, he has some straps that Velcro around his ankles to close the pant leg. You sure don't want to have a bee fly up your pantleg. I had some white cotton scrubs that I wear when I am gardening. Wearing white helps see ticks, I am a tick magnet! These white scrubs are big enough that I can pull them on over my shorts or jeans. A couple layers of pants keeps the bee's stinger away from your leg. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzrp8a5XfySXHLmeU8Y_0HvX_RrcUiYGQazz9Nj8FZoEUYjWNITfIptEdXZjZFvqe9IW4FNi4DU5w91Rmxq-rl88syKu9HnXF5McS0FITNyJQH5eer_gOHPrApY8QK1rxvt2Tyxp-Vvg/s3153/IMG_20200420_190956_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3153" data-original-width="1850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzrp8a5XfySXHLmeU8Y_0HvX_RrcUiYGQazz9Nj8FZoEUYjWNITfIptEdXZjZFvqe9IW4FNi4DU5w91Rmxq-rl88syKu9HnXF5McS0FITNyJQH5eer_gOHPrApY8QK1rxvt2Tyxp-Vvg/w376-h640/IMG_20200420_190956_1.jpg" width="376" /></a></div><br /><div>Is this warm in the summer in South Carolina?

Charlie started this venture in 2019 by taking the class on beekeeping in our area. I thought it would be just his hobby but I have been enjoying learning about the bees and helping take care of them. </div><div><br /></div><div>Toward the end of his class hives were ordered.</div><div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2d6JOvcMt6tuPjSmqx_uVw09WsEK876pkLMaFTu6QweazelzXyNdavfr2X2zYAwBnWLsgA_vitJQWwz2NeHzz2XjlaZYRDXVnMJmtAx7gfDaAtwJ8RaNt8rHDqRy6Eka1kn7K5ivtsUQ/s4032/20190314_155604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="thequeenofseaford.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2d6JOvcMt6tuPjSmqx_uVw09WsEK876pkLMaFTu6QweazelzXyNdavfr2X2zYAwBnWLsgA_vitJQWwz2NeHzz2XjlaZYRDXVnMJmtAx7gfDaAtwJ8RaNt8rHDqRy6Eka1kn7K5ivtsUQ/w640-h360/20190314_155604.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The common wisdom was to have at least two hives, as you can compare and evaluate each alone and against the other. If one is doing poorly but the other is fine, it is hive specific. So we got two. Placement was another decision to be made. We didn't want them near the front door or driveway because of foot traffic. Areas in the yard where our irrigation hits are also not a good idea. Rainfall is okay but sideways watering isn't the best. Our property includes a septic drainage field of a half acre, across the street from our one acre property. No one walks on the septic field and we only cut it once or twice a year, so the bees would be unbothered by mowing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPRA9pCK6oDAly9gEYrjQZFbf2tQDcqiZJjr_aoR2ROgq8sX97Mue2ikiNuqc8BDB01IdDX2VjIrjD3k2-3o_XoohLgg1aOkg5T5vg-xi_ttjB3GC35KPiXKjC2CQ48egs-lsAbL9ixH0/s4032/20190410_165306.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPRA9pCK6oDAly9gEYrjQZFbf2tQDcqiZJjr_aoR2ROgq8sX97Mue2ikiNuqc8BDB01IdDX2VjIrjD3k2-3o_XoohLgg1aOkg5T5vg-xi_ttjB3GC35KPiXKjC2CQ48egs-lsAbL9ixH0/w640-h360/20190410_165306.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hives should be elevated off the ground and level. Each hive is decorated a little differently so the bees know which is their home. In the photo above you see a level, cinderblocks and the hives. You can also see our house in the distance. The opening for the hives should face south. Good air circulation and sunshine are important for a healthy hive. There's a lot more to beekeeping than just getting honey!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyF8pabf3NGMh4Cq5hDtS-VR7uP6DoFugcLVi92E4e69sEa0T20xPKKd73J-f41WLtv0ntL1S0j5gRHm85hyphenhyphen8J0CJXNDeJQrqLChA8UTDpybBWkG-zeQJlpxUiu2da7FbbPRWtTi9mHjk/s4032/20190414_101709.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyF8pabf3NGMh4Cq5hDtS-VR7uP6DoFugcLVi92E4e69sEa0T20xPKKd73J-f41WLtv0ntL1S0j5gRHm85hyphenhyphen8J0CJXNDeJQrqLChA8UTDpybBWkG-zeQJlpxUiu2da7FbbPRWtTi9mHjk/w225-h400/20190414_101709.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The new bees have arrived - picked them up beginning of April. Timing for setting up a new hive is important- you need to know when the nectar flows start in your area and what is in bloom. Much of my gardening choices are for pollinators and hummingbirds. Well, bees need to have blooms that aren't long and tubular. Their flower shape is shallower or disc shaped. Gosh, I guess that means I need to get more plants!! I do want to do my part in helping our bees. The queen, brood and nurse bees were purchased from one of the bee club folks. They arrive in a special box called a Nuc box, short for nucleus, used to hive a small colony of bees. In the photo below you see the Nuc boxes on top of the hives that will soon be home.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifqskZR1qvvXbA6suifRwTnCp_fDk-WXR9oPNALWAeceM-PUPwevZPAES931Wkab4udtKwdZAQZfxS6SKHBL0Lz0L5IHs9r1q4OquF7F7MAUc0mERnl4DUhyCon-3oX7sQs2Lf2GYtrwo/s4032/20190414_121819.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifqskZR1qvvXbA6suifRwTnCp_fDk-WXR9oPNALWAeceM-PUPwevZPAES931Wkab4udtKwdZAQZfxS6SKHBL0Lz0L5IHs9r1q4OquF7F7MAUc0mERnl4DUhyCon-3oX7sQs2Lf2GYtrwo/w640-h360/20190414_121819.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can also see the foliage of some of the daffodils I planted a few years ago. There is plenty in the drain field to bloom throughout the season. There are some Rudbeckia planted by the birds, lots and lots of Asters of various species and plenty of Goldenrod to bloom through the fall. We are surrounded on three sides by forest and back up to the lake for fresh water drinking. The bees should be very happy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After allowing for the bees to settle in, we checked on them every so often.

That which is not capped is not the correct water percentage to honey. Bees process the nectar from high water percentage down to under 18.6% water, then it is capped. </div><div><br /></div><div>One piece of the equipment that we use is called a queen excluder. The queen is larger than the worker bees and therefore cannot move through the excluder. The workers store the honey in honey supers- a box above the brood chamber.

To celebrate the babies, I wanted to plant a tree in each one's honor. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This idea was one borrowed from my friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliesgardendelights?fbclid=IwAR1dmqKVh8amSRjjIDptzA1QWK8NpKNxYwhDDCB57lXoO81n7jSd7KolOZY">Julie Adolf</a> who has a beautiful tree for her daughter. Each birthday a photo of her daughter is taken with (or in) the tree. Since this daughter is now in college it has been fun to watch the growth of both daughter and her tree over the years via these photos. I wanted to do something similar for my grandchildren. Both daughters live hours away in different states, so I am not sure that birthday photos will be made, but hopefully, yearly photos can be taken. </div><div><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkPwNvr57LuUw7XyM3hBtOTAC0K_O3nTfAbnaB1QzUAUJwon2ZgaE5uST5OoPhKor6NrGxGFjN0b705Gy1LFgHNLNL8C_7G63gXCY1CQNju2Qjtm7nMZrUC-wJqAyj6yn0FTHkuHWBeHM/s2048/IMG_20191231_082727.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkPwNvr57LuUw7XyM3hBtOTAC0K_O3nTfAbnaB1QzUAUJwon2ZgaE5uST5OoPhKor6NrGxGFjN0b705Gy1LFgHNLNL8C_7G63gXCY1CQNju2Qjtm7nMZrUC-wJqAyj6yn0FTHkuHWBeHM/s320/IMG_20191231_082727.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First grandbaby to be<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div>First the tree choices had to be made. For the first baby, I chose a Redbud, <i>Cercis canadensis</i> 'Carolina Sweetheart'. Winter is the best time to plant in our area, so it was planted before Christmas last year. The Carolina Sweetheart was found locally and planted. As this tree has bloomed and leafed out this spring I am not certain it is the variety I wanted, multiple horticulturists have said it is not. It might be a 'Merlot' or 'Forest Pansy', both dark leaf Redbuds. Time will tell. Mistaken labeling is a topic for another post, in the meanwhile-on with the tree plantings! Our lovely model standing next to the tree planted for her baby. </div><div><br /></div><div>Second baby's tree is also a Redbud, <i>Cercis canadensis</i> 'Rising Sun'. While it was also planted in the winter, it was planted later than the 'Carolina Sweetheart'. Both trees had a root wash done when planted. I only photographed the second one. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiHNgC5ti9FrJ75wz33CSDe9Wz3tZEAZGvHQC2hR46UbmDDjh5HA1uNu2r77YTMvzxmZj1DMmGGOicIsVvRdhd12doj6dqZvnqT5pkbN17gENy3mmpbbN_SgJgLfJECu9LS2BRbZYxNe8/s5184/IMG_0876.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiHNgC5ti9FrJ75wz33CSDe9Wz3tZEAZGvHQC2hR46UbmDDjh5HA1uNu2r77YTMvzxmZj1DMmGGOicIsVvRdhd12doj6dqZvnqT5pkbN17gENy3mmpbbN_SgJgLfJECu9LS2BRbZYxNe8/w400-h300/IMG_0876.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Beautiful spring foliage after blooming</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Second tree was in a seven gallon container, as we have clay soil and lots of rocks, I wasn't interested in a larger container.

When trees, and shrubs for that matter, are grown for long periods in containers their roots will have nowhere to grow but in a circular fashion. If allowed to continue in that manner the roots will girdle the trunk of the tree and like a boa constrictor, strangle the tree. Washing the roots from the soil in the container, you could straighten the roots from their limited growth pattern. Sometimes root pruning might be called for, though not in this case. Root pruning is eliminating a severe tangle of roots or a hard curve that can't be straightened out. I hate to cut any root material, it can stunt the tree. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After the roots are free they are spread out in the hole, radiating from the trunk. Keeping the tree level and straight, soil was replaced, making sure not to plant too deeply. The tree was finally planted. Having a couple bowling ball sized rocks from the hole, I was able to anchor the root ball and kept it straight while the roots made their way, settling in their new home. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclNX01jWMsv4Ad0Gj_G9fIsXbzpGeTHpWIUMQXMnSzwGhDt9fuF6eeaBkfJ11VAtZA4pz41H-LdMuHkQQkjl1pquZ96M6mvH90ZPNf-7x-MatcIDMraayWN0NdE-gO-LZbkb8imZsUiU/s2048/IMG_20200217_135904.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclNX01jWMsv4Ad0Gj_G9fIsXbzpGeTHpWIUMQXMnSzwGhDt9fuF6eeaBkfJ11VAtZA4pz41H-LdMuHkQQkjl1pquZ96M6mvH90ZPNf-7x-MatcIDMraayWN0NdE-gO-LZbkb8imZsUiU/w300-h400/IMG_20200217_135904.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Planted and mulched with pine straw</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pardon the amateurish arrows drawn on the photo below, but you can see where each of the grandbaby trees is planted.

I haven't participated in a long time but am jumping back in. Every month, on the 15th, is Garden Blogger Bloom Day, or GBBD. The meme is hosted by Carol Michel at <a href="https://www.maydreamsgardens.com/search/label/garden%20bloggers%20bloom%20day" target="_blank">May Dreams Gardens</a>. Be sure to go over to Carol's blog and see what's blooming in other areas.<br />
<br />
One of my new pet peeves is blogs not saying up front where they are located. I don't mean your mailing address but what is your zone, what state do you live in? That said- I live in the Upstate of South Carolina, zone 7b- 8a. I am right on the line. Living on the lake helps moderate the temperatures so I am claiming 8a.<br />
<br />
On to the blooms.<br />
<br />
We have had a very mild winter so far and many plants are saying, "hello". I went outside this morning with new camera in hand to get some shots- after a few photos the battery light was blinking red. Bummer. The cell phone came out. The photos are a mix of both.<br />
Starting with the daffodils- there are so many blooming right now. Some varieties are known, but not all.<br />

One of the nice things about our Garden Blogger Flings is the wonderful sponsors who share tools, products, plants, and seeds with us. The above daffodils were swag from <a href="https://www.colorblends.com/Wholesale-Flowerbulbs/Daffodil-Bulbs/All-Daffodils/" target="_blank">Colorblends</a> a few years ago. They sent you bulbs based on your location. I received 'Gritty Southern Mix' and they have done great!<br />
Another bulb that I kept looking for and didn't see emerging. Snowdrop, <i>Galanthus nivalis</i>. All of a sudden, there it was!!<br />

Why Fling? Eleven years ago I could answer the first question. I just started this blog and it was going to be a garden journal of sorts. The frequency of my posting waxed and waned, depending on what was going on in my life. I wanted to keep track of what was going on in my garden when we lived in Virginia. Once we moved to South Carolina I had a new property, new garden, MORE gardens to fill, more journal material to record.<br />

Blogging is a two-way street for many of us. You write your post and hope someone reads it and comments. You in turn read others' posts and let them know by commenting on their post. Many used pseudonyms for themselves and any family members mentioned in the blog. As we got to know each other our true names were used. The more blogs you read the more bloggers you got to know, sort of an electronic pen-pal.<br />

Flinging takes the blogging to a new level. The full name was Garden Blogger Spring Fling, we have since dropped 'Spring'. Each year a few bloggers host a Fling in their area, plan visits to public and private gardens, host/cater a dinner, and arrange bus transportation and a hotel, and invite garden bloggers from all around the world to attend. My first Fling was in Asheville, NC. Knowing certain bloggers were attending, you looked for friends who you haven't met yet. Their blog names might be the only name you know. I remember overhearing one of the bloggers ask another, "Who is the Queen of Seaford? Is she here?" Strangers in person, pen-pals online and now friends. This coming Fling will be my ninth one.<br />

Viewing the gardens is always fun. You might see familiar plant material or you might see completely foreign plants. You can appreciate color and design. You might want to try something you have seen- will it work in your horticultural zone? Broaden your horizons.<br />
Timing for the Flings varied -different climates and different seasons, you don't want to tour Texas in July and Toronto in May might be a tad chilly. The Flings are during the growing season best suited for each location.<br />

First time Flingers have a newbie designation on their name tag. We who are not first timers search out newbies to say hello, make them welcome, and make life long friends. Each year we in the Carolinas/Georgia try to get a group photo. Texas bloggers seem to have the largest number of attendees. There are some very charming ladies from Great Britain who have been numerous times. Friends from across the pond! Canada is well represented each year. Photo below - two Canadians, one Brit, one Northerner and a couple of Southerners (one behind the camera).<br />

I have most, though I know not all the Creeping Jenny out of the bed. We will see how much more work in the growing season it will take to finish the removal.<br />
One quick trick for adding mulch to a bed where there are small or emerging plants- turn an empty flower pot over the plant and add mulch. Once the mulch is added, just remove the pots and smooth out the mulch to tuck in the plant.<br />

Sometimes the consequence is small and easily fixed and other times the correction takes time and a lot of effort. I have had to take shrubs out that were supposed to be four to six feet at maturity, they were over eight feet and growing. That mistake correction took a bit of elbow grease, digging up as many of the roots of said shrubs and dragging them into the woods to decompose. The culprit? <i>Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum</i> 'Daruma'. It was billed as a dwarf. While I know the straight species can get twelve to fifteen feet tall, I had hoped this would behave better. In the photo below you see the large shrub covering a bay window? That is the mistake shrub.<br />

New small shrubs were purchased and planted. Raw soil and clay still exposed, mulch needs to be added but first one of the other mistakes needs to be addressed. Does my current mistake fall under the "easy to fix" or "time and effort" category? I think it is a middle of the road mistake. </div>

I know, I know. I knew it would spread but I thought I could contain it within the small garden area. Well, it had other ideas. Creep it did, through the Purple Pixie <i>Loropetalum chinense</i> 'Peack' and the <i>Salvia farinaceae '</i>Victoria Blue' and into the <i>Dianthus gratianopolitnus </i>'Firewitch'. This is unacceptable! I did like the contrast in foliage though- bright yellow and purple or blue-green or even a bright red Salvia (name unknown) each made the other pop. </div>

Since digging up the aforementioned <i>Loropetalum</i> I have been hand pulling the bright yellow mistake. I have a large black plastic bag I have been adding to on a regular basis. Usually I just toss pulled vegetation into the woods to break down. This is too invasive so it will decompose in the black plastic bag. Well, I have not been able to keep up with the aggressive ground cover. Time to attack it with vigor. Today's plan is to take the shovel and dig out the <i>Lysimachia</i> and sift out the roots and any above ground growth. Any clean soil will be replaced. Plants in this area I want to keep will be dug up, root checked for any wayward <i>Lysimachia</i>, then replanted afterward. I don't want to use an herbicide if I can do it without. Time will tell whether I was able to get all of it removed. Later this week I will get some mulch and top dress this garden and other spots in the yard that need mulch. Time to get busy. Stay tuned for some after photos, hopefully without Creeping Jenny.<br />

(I never finished it until tonight.) There is a large plant sale in our area (I use 'area' loosely- this sale is almost 2 hours away). I have gone three or four times since we moved here. Prices are getting higher, so I am not sure that I will frequent the sale regularly.</span></span><br />

Not knowing where to plant the Camellias I decided to create a new garden bed. I am of the frame of mind that if grass doesn’t grow well in a spot in your yard, then mulch it and make a new garden. This area is on the north side of the house, under the deck overhang. It would be protected, have some morning sun and plenty of shade midday through the afternoon. </span></span></div>

One of the compost tumblers was ready to be spread. Compost and mulch and some newspaper under the mulch, voila - a garden.</span></span></div>

This one is one that dumps, and spreading mulch goes quickly when you can dump and go. Yes, I used some newspaper over the compost but under the mulch. It was a thin layer and decomposed pretty quickly. Chickweed and <i>Poa annua</i> grass run rampant in our yards where grass is thin. Some kind of weed block to give me a head start was needed. </span></span></div>

The mulched area now goes along the edge of the patio under the deck. A few square cement blocks were added in the widest part of the bed so no one walks on any plants. Yes, I did add more. I divided my daffodils in one of the front gardens and needed a spot to put them. As I write the four clumps of daffodils are coming up. Most are about six inches of fresh green foliage already. Later this year I will place some stepping stones in a better pattern, when I know where all the daffodils are growing! At the end of the wall is very wet from the French drain and a downspout outlet. Since this edge of the garden gets sun, I planted a few Mountain Mint that I was dividing. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What was I thinking?? </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I may need to put an edging around the mint. </span><br />

Supplies in hand, this year's Halloween costumes are underway. What are we supposed to be? Well, I thought it was pretty clear, but when my daughter asked if we were jellyfish, I figured we needed a thunderbolt. Yes, we are thunderclouds with lightening and rain. </div>

If you don't have a glue gun, include that on your shopping list with plenty of extra glue sticks. I bought a hot glue gun- if I had it to do again, it would be a cool temperature one. (hello burns on my fingertips) Foam core board to make some lightening bolts added after the fact.</div>

Not knowing how much tulle I needed, I first cut it in half and then quartered it. Since the umbrella hats were rainbow colors, I needed to camouflage it. The tulle I found was had gold glitter sparkles in the fabric...how cool is that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Weaving and layering the strips of tulle through the spokes of the umbrella and gluing in place was pretty straight forward. </div>

Next step was to weave one strand of the fairy lights in the black tulle. The battery case was glued to the center post of the underside.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flipping the umbrella over I decided to glue the fairy lights on first, to be under the cloud. The battery cases were glued at the top on either side of the white knob on top. </div>

Next step was gluing the fiberfill over the lights. This fiberfill didn't come in strips or sheets but loose for packing a stuffed animal or pillow. I took small handfuls of it and glued it down, moving around the hat. If there was a gap in the fill, I would come back and either add more or glue the fill to itself.</div>

Time to glue the bead threads. I decided to glue the longest ones on the spokes of the umbrella for good spacing. Also hung strands of Mylar ribbon from the spokes and around the umbrella....to represent rain. Also cut a lightening bolt and glued it on the top front.</div>

Trying this one on. As Charlie is a lot taller, his rain streamers are longer. That is really the only difference between the two. You can see in the photo below I need to tuck some of the black tulle back into the hat, it shouldn't hang that long. </div>
