I planted giant hogweed around the circumfrence of my property.
Was cheaper than digging a moat.

I used Skunk Cabbage.

I'm going to be doing a plant rescue with a co-worker I'm going to be getting a tree peony out of it! They don't like to be moved though so wish me luck! I think I will work on it this weekend.

Just looked at my Raspberries and the sprouts are an inch (2.5cm) long!

I was given a tree peony that was almost dead from someone’s yard. It did just fine although it took a couple of years to really recover. I gave it lots of good soil mixed with compost and fed it extra in the spring. Plus I talked to it every time I went by and told it that it would be safe and loved I think the talking worked better than the feeding.
Good luck with yours!

Awesome, pbear! Thanks!

What time of year did you move yours?

[Lady tehMa]

Okay, need some help with some plant ID

a branch of some kind

seed pod from last year (sorry for the poor focus)

a short shrub of some kind

[Lady tehMa]

Tree ID - maybe treeguy would know?

[Queen K]

I don't know any of them

This is my problem. The MLS photos are during dead season, with some snow on the ground. The google street photos show some, but not all. I think the top tree one could be an apple . . .

What time of year did you move yours?

It was spring. Late spring if I remember correctly. It came to me basically at a bare root dead looking weirdly shaped branch. Good thing I love Charlie Brown plants. The next year it had 2 flowers. Now it has many beautiful red and white striped blooms. I love it.

Do you know what colour yours will be?

[Lady tehMa]

Not a clue. I am preparing for moving it, either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. My son is not thrilled about the yard work I will be having him do - I'm also planning on rescuing a hydrangea and some roses.

Hey pbear, do you have a pic of your peony tree?

[Glacier]

crazy, still a few snowbanks around Vernon. Should be gone by the end of the week though.

We had a light frost this morning, is it too early to plant zuke and cuke seeds into the ground?
