Re: Mr Kia's garden

I wanna see ALL your pictures too! Let's see, the bamboo is looking nice, we have a different variety up here on the tundra with broad leaves, I love it but it dosen't go wild in my red clay.

Snip your sage and it will come back thicker and don't waste the snippings, dry them and make up a little incense bundle and do a sage ritual. nice nice...

The banana tree in the pot. It has looked better in previous years.. We had 4 shoots but I suspect some little Ninjas may have gotten to it



and the ninja evidence

Re: Mr Kia's garden

Very nice Kia. The ones you forget the names of are daylilies (hemerocallis) and the smaller one appears to be some sort of coreopsis (common name tickseed), but I can't tell without a closer look.
