For Home Gardeners Who Love To Dig In The Dirt
I just realized I've almost been missing Spring on my blog. My daffodils have almost come and gone. And by tulips are well on their way to fading. My Dogwood is now out in all it's glory. Where has the Spring gone? Oh I have sort of an excuse. I've largely cut the cord on …
Forget Punxsutawney Phil. We're already having an early spring, and it's not even Groundhogs Day yet. I can't remember when I've had my crocuses blooming this early, but here they are. It started about three weeks ago, when my Witch Hazel started blooming about a month early. That Witch Hazel is one that we bought …
Today we had a wonderful lunch at the winery. It was such a pleasure to be able to eat in the Members Room, after such a long hiatus. The food was good and the view spectacular.
I'm Back! With some wishes for a Happy Hanukkah. Here is a little about our new deck cover and my cute garden art. It's winter, and the garden is sleepy, but still pretty.

Where has the time gone? Just yesterday it was the last day of March, and here it is summer solstice. Goodness, it's been a long time since I wrote a post. A lot has happened. Spring flowers have come and gone. Irises have bloomed and are almost completely gone. It's now time for my daylilies. …
The Rufous Hummingbirds are here. They are early this year, although they can sometimes come as early as February. They are now here to engage in the Hummingbird Wars with our resident Anna's. Yesterday I had two of them at my feeder, although I did not get a very good picture. I hope that I …
Here it is the Ides of March in our Pacific Northwest town. Everything is really going in the garden right now. I drove downtown this week for the first time in about a week and everything has suddenly changed. The Cherries are blooming, everybody's Daffodils are blooming, and some Rhododendrons are blooming. Everything is looking …
In the long slog to Spring, I had some very welcome news from my garden. I was surprised and thrilled to see a lonely Daffodil blooming on the side of my house. A beautiful golden cup in a bed of sleeping sprouts greeted me as I went about pruning my clematises. There are other shoots …
We are having quite a roller coaster ride to Spring. Just two weeks ago I showed you sprouts that are coming up in my garden for Daffodils, Tulips and even some blooms on my Snowdrops and Hellebores. Yet last week we were covered in snow, and temperatures were dipping into the low teens. I …
