Chuck's picture corner to Many 2 2026

Happy 'Naked gardening Day'.

I won't be participating. It's currently a rainy 6c at the moment, and temps are predicted to be below average every day for the next 2 weeks here in Cardinal. Lots more rain this week. After tonight's low of 1c I'll be putting seedlings out in the barn where they will have more space and harden off.

Ps. part of my picture corner strategy is to keep a personal record of the climate as told by the plants in the yard, this year is a fair bit colder than many.

shrubs in front starting to leaf out

lots of these guys about

tulips coming along

peonies opening their first leaves

this day lily variety is often used in commercial parking lot plantings, it flowers (yellow) all season long and is very hardy.

These orange daylilies are what I call ditch lilies they like wet in spring and dry in summer.

These raspberries (gifted from friends) are going crazy, I only got a few berries last year the year I planted them. The berries are great tasting.

daffodils still waiting to open.

another day is done

another rabbit looking for a place to nest on the other side of the yard.


sedum, close to the hot pavement of the driveway

another sedum beside the driveway pavement

this guy is 3 years old and not growing all that well

this is a very old variety of forsythia, I once worked for the head of Ottawa's experimental farm where the 'Ottawa' forsythia variety was born, (under his watch) they flower much more prolifically. 

The gang

the large leaf popular is leafing out

the moon is up early today

and so another day ends.


Enjoy the Day
