Cooler today and it's raining! My plants will love the good soak after the heat wave we have had! Debated for a while on the color of my chair. It came natural wood and it looked kinda boring.After many paint swatches, pink it was! The yard at that point had very little color,so I picked something crazy. My daughters like pink, but thought it was a bit much! Since it is my chair and they do not like gardening.. I won! I am thinking now that I should put an arbor of some sort to give some shade. It is full sun all day in that area. I could retrain the climbing roses on the trellis behind the chair up onto the arbor.
NWGordon & WA folks. If you are ever down this way you are welcome to come by.Just give me a heads up! Only 2 miles from the Oregon Gardens..so that gives you a great excuse to travel to Silverton. Come on down!
Been gardening since I was very small. My french grandmother had
a passion for gardening and had beautiful gardens. I would follow her around and "help". I learned so much from her but am still learning everyday. Moving from Ca to OR has been a gardening challenge..but I am learning what works and what does not.
It's amazing the transformation this yard has seen in only 1-1/2 years. It was pretty much mud, rocks, weeds when I moved in. Lots of back breaking work..but I love it.
Found this little lemon trillium hiding under a Hosta yester when on slug patrol. Forgot I planted it last year. Mark those plants!! Will keep checking for the bloom. :)
