I do not want to work in the garden in my bigg ass winter coat but the beds need to get ready for seed.

More spring preparation, cleaned up Bog Thing from winter dormancy. I generally try to let it do as it wants with some additions along the way, but trimmed out the dead sundew and pinguicula leaves (leaving the sundew roots) and relocated a venus flytrap seedling (there are a few growing in it). Next year I'll move out the pinguiculas before winter. I only rehydrated it today, not a full flush yet until it resettles.

Every year, I wish I had taken pictures at the start of the growing season. I might even pin this so I can have all my gardening stuff together. Who have I become😂 This is year 3 after starting from a blank slate with new fence with different dimensions, grading of the property to accommodate new hardscaping and "wall-to-wall" sod.

I divided and repotted a very crowded and rootbound Sarracenia pitcher plant today.

Why, hello, my hollyhock friend! You are looking bright and green!

It looks like most of the carnivorous plants survived over-wintering on the balcony in Germany, Zone 7b. I am now prepping soil for divisions and repotting. There are three generations of Venus Flytraps with a small fourth generation seeding to start soon (I have a lot of seeds from last year's harvest and need to test a few).

I scattered native plant seeds on Sat Feb 21:

* Early goldenrod / Solidago juncea
* Virginia bluebells / Mertensia virginica
* Canadian wood betony / Pedicularis canadensis

I scraped at the leaves & dirt and tried to drop seeds into crevices/depressions so they would be protected, while still technically on the surface. I hear these seeds need light to grow and can't be buried deep.

Was this too late for cold stratification?

Lookin' a little worse for wear, but it's been a weird winter season. #gardening #zone7b #hellebore #helleborus #bloomscrolling #winterblooms

I just bought a bunch of native plant seeds for the 2026 season! I am so excited :]

Has anyone else started planning yet?

This year the garden started slow, but the tomatoes kept on trucking *way* longer than usual. It's supposed to freeze tonight in NYC so I finally harvested anything that was left.

Sooo if anyone knows what to do with green tomatoes besides frying them, by all means share. This isn't even all of them. #Gardening #DIY #Zone7B #NYC
