We garden on the green side of the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest. Thursday, January 29, 2015. I am not ready for spring yet! It’s raining again. The Pacific Northwest is.

The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the temperature was a balmy 50 degrees fahrenheit. Some of the shrubs are starting to bud up. What’s going on? Are you r...

We garden on the green side of the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest. Thursday, June 26, 2014. No Credit Given To the Gardener. Flash Back Thursday (2010).
