Let's talk gardening, it's for the soul, you know, and other topics. Award-winning author of Gardening for the Homebrewer, photographer, and garden writer.
This garden at the The Philadelphia Flower Show in 2023 moved me to tears. Especially knowing what is happening to children in war-torn countries. Especially appropriate after yesterday's fiasco at the White House.

I love this little perennial. I use it as a ground cover in partially shade areas. I also have it in some full sun even though it gets a bit burnt around the edges during the height of summer.

Had to miss last year because I had Covid, so this year I am going to the Northwest Flower & Garden Show. Here's an old video I made from the show 9 years ago. That was a great year for the display gardens. Always a fun time!

My Journey To Spring at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show
In the darkness of February, a flower show comes to Seattle, and brings us 5 bright days of spring.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Number 9 in the Remember to Breathe series. Penstemon serrulatus is a PNW native plant. You can see why its commonly called beard tongue.

In times of chaos, emotional balance is key.

This one is number 8 in my Remember to Breathe series. I hope you are enjoying them. And do remember during these stressful times, to breathe deep, and create, garden, or find time for your joy.

If you grow this in the maritime PNW and you haven't had a frost, this would still be blooming in your garden! At one time call Schizostylis. Love this little beauty.

Salvia viridis, still blooming in December. I think it is waiting for the first frost to shut it down. Defiant little thing! Here it is in November. #rainysidegardeners #flowers #gardening #garden youtube.com/shorts/rRy0C...

Love this. Reminds me of “If Men Could Menstruate” by Gloria Steinem

This little pocket garden is one I began in 2021. It is dedicated for those who lost a loved one. Still searching for a name, but for now still calling it a memorial garden. Located in Kingston, WA.

Would love to be able to select garden for one of my interests here on this platform, since it is a popular hobby, and for some, a survival skill.

I was searching for the best place to latibulate. But I'm thinking maybe I don't need it now.
