Chinampas
Does anyone have any practical examples of a (preferably current) system like chinampas outside of the subtropics? I’m currently clearing a lot of invasives (not invasives that readily root from cuttings or grow in water) and was playing with the idea of using them to create chinampas style beds because otherwise I have no use the massive amount of biomass other than leaving giant pule of it all over the place

June Blooms
After a hot weekend, more pleasant weather has settled in and the long-term forecast shows consistent temperatures in the 70s. That is music to my ears, I just hope it lasts. We have been busy with the usual garden chores. Michael has been more adventurous than I and he created a small set of steps leading up to our shady path. He said he had been wanting to do that for a long time but didn’t because of it making it difficult to move the lawnmower up to the top level. Well, we now have a battery-powered mower, a very lightweight, tiny thing which makes both of us happy.
The steps are almost finished, just some more gravel needed to top them –
Our new battery-powered lawnmower looks like a toy –
In the garden –
 |
| Aruncus ‘Horatio’ has doubled in size this year and threatens to overshadow the shade garden. |
 |
| Baptisia ‘Solar Flare’ blooms after ‘Purple Smoke’ |
 |
| Jasmine ‘Fiona Sunrise’ should be happier now that we removed half of the ornamental grape that was threatening to take over. |
 |
| And it is blooming! |
 |
| Direvilla ‘Firefly’ – I replaced a flowering quince with this shrub last year and I absolutely love it. And so do the bees. That is what attracted me to it in the first place – it was covered with bee activity as the nursery. |
 |
| Clematis ‘Josephine’ wins the prize for longest blooming clematis. It is still going strong. |
 |
| Clematis ‘Samritan Jo’ |
 |
| The hydrangeas are just beginning. ‘Twist-n-Shout’ is one of the first to bloom |
 |
| Creeping Honeysuckle (Lonicera crassifolia) – Why did it take me so long to discover this plant? I have to thank my friend Linda Rectanus for sharing this with me. |
 |
| Rose ‘Red Eden’ has never looked this good. Of course it would as it has been threatened with eviction. This is a smaller sized climber and I wish I had known that when I planted it on the arbor over our garbage bins. I wish for something larger but this is difficult to ignore. |
 |
| Rose ‘Swany’ is huge. I will get a photo of the entire thing later. |

Challenges of Using Non-specific Immune Stimulant Tools forFarmed Shrimp
