I’m speaking Friday at 12:30, at the Plant Academy. About clematis…like you had to ask.

Keep some flowers in the house. These are forced tulips from a grower 20 miles south of my house. It helps me feel better. But tulips when they are still quite green, do you get to enjoy their whole vase life.

Proof it does snow in western Oregon. These are images of what 4-5 inches of snow look like outside Portland at about 450’ elevation. The Hamamelis is x intermedia ‘Diane’.

I may be on Bluesky more and Faceplant less, but one thing hasn’t changed. If you lead off a post or repost with a picture of the MuskOx or the person attempting to make money off of a war zone, I will hide it before even reading it. I’m good at the hide button.

This seems like a good compromise -

Inhale. Double tulips tend to be fragrant.

Big plans for the shed and north end of my garden. Trees out, trees placed, shed expansion. With a porch on it! This the shed at The Blue House, Amberley, NZ. Our role model.

Okay followers and followees, this is how I roll: I try to keep images of tRump from coming in contact with my eyes. I will hide your post if that’s what you lead with. Limit yourselves to plants, pets, wild birds, funny memes about recrudescence, sparkling wine and major gemstones. Thank you.

If it worked for Poland…

Anyone know how I download this bluesky account onto my phone?
