A vigorous growth of purple New England asters, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae.
It's so important to choose plants adapted for your location. My garden of local natives is doing well, the only problem is they grow too tall and flop. I'll be doing a Chelsea chop, that helps.

So this is my attempt to start pepper seeds in my window in my tiny MN apartment. There are 4 varieties in each jug, with the idea that once they are big enough to pot up individually. #gardening #Zone5 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening
Onion and leek seeds are up! Let's see if I can get them thru to planting in April. Also Troublecat being regal af.

No idea if this will work - but it's an attempt to start long day onions in my tiny apartment with 2 cats

Small Daisy like white flowers with bright yellow centers
Smaller Spikes of lavender purple flowers around the base of one larger spike.
Pale orange Alaska, salmon nasturtium flowers with variegated white and green foliage
Multiple fuzzy pale orange cylindrical flowers sticking out from a central spiky base
A few of the flowers still going despite the two frosts we’ve had; feverfew, Veronica, nasturtiums, and klip dagga 🌱💚

Ok the sun is all the way out and it's time to go out the garden away for winter. Morning knitting while coffee but now it's time to go outside.

I will be adding so many verbena bonariensis next year to the garden. There had to be at least 12 monarchs on this one little patch. #pollinators #minneapolisrosegarden #minneapolis #zone5
Busy weekend in the garden. Oils watch this hummingbird all day #minneapolis #pollinators #zone5 #bloomscrolling
It's warm again today (82F) and so I went to my local farmers market (my backyard garden) and got some groceries (pumpkins are just decorative). I love my garden 🧡

Ok beef stock started in the crock pot. Need to run and grab a few herbs to throw in before ignoring until tomorrow when I'll make beef butternut stew again. #gardening #Zone5 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening
My harvest today - missing the celery and chives I threw in at the end to make food this weekend.

My sunflowers bloomed late but they are keeping the bee frens fed in fall!

In the garden now with my winged fren, picking green beans and cutting back tomato plants for the season.

Knitting in my pumpkin patch sock until noonish then heading out to get some fall work done in the garden.

My second crops of peas and beans are coming along. I'm hoping for a harvest mid-September. #zone5
Goldenrod in flower, standing in the sunshine
Goldenrod leaves and stem
Goldenrod flower viewed from the top, many small yellow flowers on branches radiating from the stem
This plant appeared in my garden, and in case it was goldenrod, I let it grow. Its actual ID is still in question.
The plant is in the sun for about 4 hours, and then shaded by the baptisia next to it. Its height is less than 1 m.

Failures are just learning opportunities. Last year I only got 1 sunflower out of 2 seed packs. This year was much better
