Weedsland in Spring

It seems to be that I finally could post a video of my backyard here. Let's see...

    Yay, it worked! Ok. The video was taken in April. In order to be posted here, is has to be loaded in YouTube or Vimeo. After taking it with my phone, I tried to upload it in Youtube, but I gave up after a few minutes of trying, but today it worked. Sorry if it is boring guys. I can try to add comments on the next one and I know the image could be way better. I'm excited because I think it is a pretty cool way to share our gardens and give a better idea of the whole garden instead of only a static view. Let's see who else finds the way to share a video of his/her whole garden.

    Thanks for sharing! Not boring at all, everything is so beautiful and serene. I’ve often thought, while looking at pictures people post, “I’d love to walk around and look at everything” ... this is the next best thing. I enjoyed the walk around. :)

    Also — when’s the GW Texas Board pool party? :D

    Thanks, Miz.

    Sometimes I think people do not understand how much I enjoy walking other people’s gardens. It’s like stepping in a nursery and discovering known and unknown plants

    The Pool party is open 24/7.

    Your video is wonderful! But yes, next time I want to hear some of your yakkity yak telling us all about the plants. Is the red flowering shrub a bottle brush?

    There is a very old Venezuelan saying that goes: "She, who has mouth, doesn't ask somebody to sing". Where's yours? and that old video from CentralTexas Gardener (from the 70's? :p) does not count. C'mon, I want to see that video soon.

    No, those red-flowered bushes are pomegranate. I have tried to grow bottle bushes in my garden several times in the past but they have either died or performed poorly. They died in winter, scorched during the summer or just kinda barely languished, pretending they are not dead.

    :p They fit you well, don’t they? My video taping skills are terrible! I don’t know how people make so good videos using their phones. Yeah, let’s make a video of your garden!

    My pommegranate trees are terrible fruit producers but they bloom a lot during spring and a little bit in summer and fall. In Venezuela we put the pommegranate pulp to boil with water and sugar a little bit and then we strain it .

    Bossy, I guess you meant to submit this picture on your post about hogs. I think Mara is talking about a Mountain Lion, not about an African lion :p (I really don't know how a Mountain lion cub looks like)

    Oops! What a beautiful garden. I loaded my 15 second hog killer video to YouTube and then here.

    Omar, I was jealous wondering how in the world your still had hinckleys columbine in bloom.

    Can you grow little John bottlebrush? I think it’d get ratty but recover in your zone.

    I have a pomegranate almost as big as yours but hasn’t bloomed, let alone produce fruit, idk why. I searched hi and lo on YouTube to learn to peel pomegranates. I juice with it but those taking hypertension meds need to ck/w doctor b4 consuming large amounts . Kinda like grapefruits.

    Omar, I’m dissapointed you didn’t model a tanga. Tee hee


    beautiful!

    Thanks, bossy!

    Ha! Those columbines were pretty in spring, not now.

    I gave up on bottle bushes. I give plants plants I like 2-3 chances/ invites to live in my garden. If it doesn’t work after that: bye, Felicia!

    Maybe your soil is too rich for pommegranates. My is BAD.

    I’m taking notes of all requests for future videos: yakkity yak, tanga, ....
