Healthy soil is the highest outcome of any gardening effort. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Early fruits come in. Asian pears and apples. Several of these fruits have wounds where squirrels tried to chew through the footies, but I can cut around those. I weighed the bagful and it was six pounds!

Healthy soil is the highest outcome of any gardening effort. Friday, August 2, 2013. New squirrel in town. I've been trying to make sure I spend some time every mid-day out in that area of the garden, just to make sure the squirrels see me there. They haven't come back. My neighbor said one of them...Orego...

Out in The Garden, Dancing: There's atmosphere in my garden this morning
http://outinthegardendancing.blogspot.com/2015/01/theres-atmosphere-in-my-garden-this.html
Out in The Garden, Dancing. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. There's atmosphere in my garden this morning. The sun broke strongly through the fog this morning and made my garden all bright and fuzzy. Happily, it was warm enough to walk around and pull a few fir branches out of the shrubs, look at my camellias that are blooming two and three months early, and wonder again how many days of branch-breaking it will take to reduce all the blow-down to mulch. Hamamellis Ruby Glow, Miscanthus Zebrinus.

Out in The Garden, Dancing. Thursday, February 5, 2015. A little piece of sky. Basalt basin and Hosoba Fukurin. Yesterday, on my first garden shopping trip of 2015, I found a small one, the first small one I've ever seen! Weighing about 25-30 pounds, it was easy enough for me to get in and out of my car, and place at last in my garden. It's about 10" long and currently holds about half an inch of today's rainwater. If I tip it this way a bit, I think it might hold a full inch. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Out in The Garden, Dancing: Beauty spots
http://outinthegardendancing.blogspot.com/2014/05/beauty-spots.html
Out in The Garden, Dancing. Monday, May 26, 2014. Another area that took a very long time to shape up is a small patch in back I call the triangle. Everything I planted there except the Bloodgood maple has been very slow growing. It doesn't get much sun and the firs dry that soil out quickly, but it too is finally becoming very nice to look at and easy to maintain. This is the view from the east side. Rhododendron Scintillation, Hosta seiboldiana. Hostas Blue Angel, Sum and Substance. This is a grouping ...

Out in The Garden, Dancing: October 2013
http://outinthegardendancing.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Out in The Garden, Dancing. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Fall color is here! But I'm way behind on my posting, so this is a long one:. Red Dragon, Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus, and Hydrangea Merritt's Beauty. This early morning combination of the Zebrinus flowers, the Merritt's Beauty dried flower heads, and red tints of the A. palmatum Red Dragon was irresistible. The big Disanthus showed the most color ever this year, and lots of red. Mixed Panicums and Helictotrichon. I love red leaves in the fall.

Out in The Garden, Dancing. Saturday, March 7, 2015. Welcoming an early Spring. Three in a row—pale pink on the end is Nuccio's Pearl. Last weekend I went with the usual group of plant-loving friends to the first plant expo of the year and as we drove through Portland in the sunshine and warming air, with trees and flowers breaking out in blooms a month early, I made a comment about it being Spring. The driver said, "It's February." I responded, "But this has been going on so long. The bigger they get, t...

Out in The Garden, Dancing. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Summer morning ground fog. First light hitting the understory. When the first rays came over the hills and hit the side of my trees, I got these beautiful colors. Heuchera Licorice flower towers. Hydrangea Oregon Pride almost in full color.
