Janet Hale Z5 CT replied to Julie Grinnell z5 MI's discussion New area for planting...suggestions, please :) in the group Woodland gardening"Tree roots are a challenge to plant in. But they discourage the tunneling plant eaters also! Take that you voles, you!"
Janet Hale Z5 CT replied to Janet Hale Z5 CT's discussion Voles, moles, and other tunneling creatures in the group Zone 5"How to you get "rent-a-cats" to focus on the voles and not go after the birds, etc?

Janet Hale Z5 CT replied to Katherine's discussion Bearded Iris collapsing- like wet paper straws in the group Zone 5"Your backyard is beautiful!
I believe that you were thinking about some kind of cutworm as the culprit. Looking at photo # 126 another thought occurred to me...the iris leaf behind the stem looks bruised. Could it be that a largish animal walked…"
Janet Hale Z5 CT left a comment for karen gerwig"I don't know what it's like to have to garden in clay, but we have so many rocks in the "soil" that it is often much easier to do raised beds, at least for the vegetables.
The lilacs that I have are nothing special, I think they…"

karen gerwig said… - Your photos are great!! I had looked at them before somehow and remembered some of them. I of course LOVE that you include wild violets in your beds -- they are so pretty. It looks like you have a lot of land to garden. (and I envy your lilac -- we have blue clay soil, and use raised beds -- but I have begged two lilac bushes to not give up the good fight in the clay for three years now, and they just don't seem to be able to do too well....)
We have had a glorious few days after a really long cool rainy stretch.

Karen Henderson z5/Ohio said… - Janet, That was taken last spring. This spring it didn't even have one bloom. Maybe you are right about it needing a rest this year. I love all your pictures and envy those rocks. Gorgeous!

- sorry, haven't got back to you sooner, I don't use tripods often, except in studio. I use a close up lens, which enables me to get that close and still focus. Or I like a telephoto/zoom to get close up at a distance if I have the light.

- Hi - the butterflies at the feeder were in the Meijer Botanical Gardens butterfly exhibit last month - I wish I had such a collection in my yard!
I love your photos!

- I don't even remember planting it - but it's spread over a large area and i love it - it's low, chokes out weeds and doesn't have to be mowed - woo-hoo!

"Hi Cindi, glad you like them, but oh no. Most Bowling balls are much too heavy for me. I use those big foam balls from the craft store. Much lighter and easier to work with, and you can stick things in them. Put on a coat of adhesive grout…"
