For Home Gardeners Who Love To Dig In The Dirt
Happy Memorial Day! Wow! I see that it is exactly one year Anniversary since I posted about my tour of two gardens here in Salem. Well, the irises are in full bloom and my peonies are only a little behind. Last week we went to Adelman’s Peony Farm, and everything was blooming there. I did …
Today we did a tour of two gardens. We went to two of my favorite places, Schreiners Iris Farm and Adelman's Peony Farm. Both are in North Salem/Keizer, OR about 2 miles from each other and about eight miles from me. Schreiners was having their annual Iris Festival, with eats, wine tasting, and artisans selling …
Wheee! Spring has really sprung. After such dreary weather earlier, we have finally had some warm weather. Two days ago even got to 90°. More nice weather it's on the way. My tomatoes are in. My irises are finally blooming - late. In all colors. Nearby Schreiner's Iris Farm has fed my fetish. And …

I had high hopes of making it to Adelmans Peony Farm this week, but we ended up with company who had just been there, so it was back to Schreiners Iris Farm for them. Instead, I'll show you my own ever expanding Peony Collection When we bought this house in 2009 we brought three Peonies …
I'm very lucky to have the wonderful Schreiners Iris farm that ships all over the US right in my back yard. There are fields and fields of beautiful irises that you can see right from the I5 freeway. But they also have a spectacular display garden, one of the nicest I have ever seen. For the …
It's that time of year when I get some of my most beautiful blooms. My Tulips and Daffodils are done and the Cherries and Dogwood are spent. Now is the time for the Irises. We have one of the nicest Iris farms and display gardens around and soon I will visit. Just not on Mothers …
Happy May! This is the first Monday and I had a terrific weekend. Our Master Gardener Plant Sale was a whopping success, but exhausting. I worked both Friday and Saturday. But yesterday, we went to the red Ridge Olive Mill to pick up our order of olive oil. Yes, olive trees grow in Oregon wine …
I'm writing this post in honor of my Sister, a non-gardner, who is completely unaware of which flowers bloom after the Spring Daffodil, Tulip, and Cherry Blossom season. So, for my Sis, I'm going to post as frequently as possible when new things start blooming in my garden with some gardening tips along the way. …
