What’s going on in your garden (2026)?

Yep. A lot of that stuff happens here, too.Sometimes plants appear from nowhere (passing birds, I imagine) and I can't identify them until they start producing flowers or fruit!

it is when tomato or strawberry plants turn up in the chook's area that gets me... I know where they have been and up to what then!
 
The wind blew all of tomato seeds in the ground. I have to start over today, I’m going to leave them inside a plastic bag, maybe inside a wet paper towel.
 
I just inspected my lettuce bed and I found some cilantro, I never thought they would sprout here, maybe the warm wing. I also have some dill too. Some of winter vegetables are bolting, not a good sign, that means the temperature is too warm for them.

I picked this shipping box up at the Ball factory and as of this spring it'll have been sitting outside for two years. This year it'll become an herb/spice box.

Great use of something you already have for the garden. My front yard is very hot, best for herbs and spices, i just saw oregano baby seedlings sprouting up. I’ll see if I can sow sage. Some years I have too many and some years I have nothing.

That factory, Ball, lets me have whatever they're already going to put in a roll away that they have to pay for as long as the receiving crew gets a bit of veggies or melons from my garden. It works. I have to go by there when things dry out and get some wood for the legs.
 
Wedgwood, a David Austin rose from my garden, I love a spray of roses hanging down, it resembles a wedding bouquet naturally.

Eden’s Climber, I love/loved this rose but it’s thorny and my husband and I are not getting younger. Whenever we pass by, we scratch ourselves, so it’s gone from my garden.
From this picture, I can see my garden was very lush with fruit trees in the back, some might have been removed for whatever reason.

I thinned some guavas today, it went from 8 to 6. This is a relatively young tree I just acquired last year, some guavas didn’t look like they grow much in the last few weeks, so I might as well take thrm off, put more energy back to the tree. Maybe the rest of the fruit will get bigger. Possibly, more thinning.

But i get excited to see the buds on my nectarine and peach trees, it will be spectacular with flowers. Last year I did acquire 5 more peach/nectarine trees, we shall see.
