The ones that are open consistently every week are the easiest. Since the definition of a weed is a plant that is not wanted or is out of place, most of my weeds are in the grass family, annual grasses that are very hard to control, especially if they manage to seed. Dandelions and relatives are another big group, my main struggle is trying to keep them from reseeding. I enjoyed your Toronto fling tour.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-67826083548615878262015-06-25T09:05:12.590-07:002015-06-25T09:05:12.590-07:00Thanks, thunder, but now I don't know whether ...Thanks, thunder, but now I don't know whether to cut it down again this winter.

I see you too enjoy photographing our little friends. Very nicely, I might add. I know how small are those hoverflies. I should consider Gail's meme because I post on many natural wildflower gardens (designed and wild) including my own tiny property. I love your blog name. It fits my style too. Weeds are allowed in my garden - at least until they seed, then they get their heads chopped off!

It's just the early blueberries that are ripening now, I will keep having blueberries until nearly frost since I planted so many varieties. I would love to get persimmons, but so far have failed. The native persimmons show no sign of blooming, maybe they have to get to 50 feet tall first, and the grafted persimmons I bought died, though one rootstock is still alive. Persimmons do so much better in California, I hope you get some.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-24469122678622555072015-06-22T10:42:54.061-07:002015-06-22T10:42:54.061-07:00That's a very pretty vase, Hannah - I love the...That's a very pretty vase, Hannah - I love the delicate colors. It reminds me that I need to find a way to use my own Erigeron in a vase sometime soon. As to your question, my blueberries are almost gone (but I may have the squirrels to thank for that) and my grapes are ripening (I'm protecting the clusters this year in the hope there may be some left by the time they're ripe) but my persimmons are dropping from the trees far short of maturity (maybe due to our drought?).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-33563363474786548742015-06-22T10:41:50.620-07:002015-06-22T10:41:50.620-07:00Thanks, Donna, the trailing fireweed turned out be...Thanks, Donna, the trailing fireweed turned out better than I expected, though quite large and hard to photograph.
