Waking up to the Columnar Norway Maple doing its sweet October thing. #yeggarden #yegtrees

Overnight temps are dropping so it's time to haul in the final round of tomatoes. It was a great season. 🙌 #yeggarden

A little break from the doom scrolling to share that despite some aphids, the sunflowers are doing just fine 🙌. #yeggarden

A bushel basket full of bright green basil.

Pesto time!

Edmonton Organic Growers Guild is a volunteer-run group that teaches new gardeners and grows food for those in need.

Farhia and Marlaina, members of the guild, recently stopped by to donate these freshly harvested beans. Thank YOU! #yeg #edmonton #feedyeg #yegfoodbank #yeggarden

These cuties visited Edmonton's Food Bank today and donated fresh tarragon and beans picked from the Dovercourt Community Garden!

YOU are welcome to share some of your garden with us too! See link for details. Thank YOU! #yeg #edmonton #yeggarden

Three asiatic lily blossoms: the petals are a deep maroon/purple verging on black but grade to white at the tips and at the centre of the flower. Each has six large petals in a star-like shape, except for the one at the bottom which has an extra petal overlapping the leftmost one.

A close up of the ‘mutant’ flower more clearly showing the extra petal.

We have a volunteer lily in a rather wild shrubby corner of our garden. My kids have dubbed it the “night lily” (as opposed to the day lilies we have plenty of) or alternately the “miss kim” after a quirky and vivacious choir director they all sang under. Probably […]

Hey, #YEG Alberta Avenue Folks,

Dutch Elm Disease has arrived in the neighbourhood. Be on lookout for crispy leaves in the elm canopy, and please report any suspect trees to 311.

#DYK you can donate your garden produce to Edmonton's Food Bank? Annette grew this lettuce, and it's already helping others!

Grow a row for us this summer! Whether it's a handful of beans or a truckload of zucchini, it helps. Thank YOU! #yeg #yeggarden #feedyeg #yegfoodbank

A small yard urban flower garden, kind of messy, with masses of creeping thyme in full glorious purple bloom, some purple Veronica, pink and white peonies nearing the end of their bloom cycle, with yellow sunflowers and a wee blue delphinium lurking in the background behind bursts of rogue orange globeflowers that leapt their original planting areas. Nestled among the flowers, a stone birdbath, a few aged red bricks, and some weather beaten ceramic chunks resembling nothing more than smoky cream and grey chunks of bones (but they’re ceramics, leftovers from an arresting art show years ago.)

The bees are happy and that helps tremendously. Also featuring garden art by @paulboultbee.bsky.social affectionately known as Burnt Severed Deer Legs (it’s vegan art, calm down).

Happy Summer Solstice! It arrives here in Edmonton today at 8:42 pm. In terms of daylight, today is 9 hours, 35 minutes longer than the winter solstice.

(Pic taken this morning just before the sun hit my garden) ☀️ #yeggarden #yegsolstice

So. Something ate my entire newly planted Pink Flamingo alpina clematis. I have three other alpina clematis that are trying to take over the world and nothing touches them. Squirrels? #yeggarden

The way casinos let you self-exile; I have reached that time of year that I need this, but for greenhouses. #yegGarden

So I think we have a verticillium wilt infection. 😞
Any other gardeners in the fediverse have experience with this?

The back story: several years ago we planted a pair of laceleaf elderberry to frame our front door. One did lovely, the other didn’t survive the winter so we replaced it. The new […]

Is it for arborists? Sure, but you'll also like it if you're a tree and garden nerd like me.

We have an acoustic ecologist, forest bather, post-industrial arborist and inventor, tree equity advocate, and hunter of deadly shiny tree bugs.

in the foreground yellow on green euphorbia, behind them tall, hanging bleeding hearts, and nestled in the greenery behind them a porch swing

two ageing Trillium flowers that once were white, but now show pink behind them a mix of iris leaves, lily of the valley, Solomon’s seal, and ostrich ferns

very close up tiny blue, forget-me-nots, out of focus in the distance are ferns and bleeding hearts

A broader view of our Woodland garden. In the front a bright pink dahlia is in a pot and behind them a mix of happy and healthy shade perennials.

Very much enjoying our yard this morning, especially the little woodland corner…

By May 12th that drops to a 25% risk. And by the 18th it's 10%.
Recent years which crossed the 25% line were 2021 (May 21), 2015 (May 17), 2009 (May 22) & 2002 (May 23).

So basically if you plant out your tender garden there is a 50% chance it will get nuked and you will have to buy all new plants.

Listen to your grandma and plant on May long. 🌱

#yeggarden

May 6th is the average date of the final spring frost in Edmonton, so half of the time we're already done, and half of the time there are still more frosts to come.
The airport is much later on May 24th, and Stony Plain's is May 10th...
