The Rainy Day Gardener: March 2015
http://www.therainydaygardener.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Organically Growing in the Willamette Neighborhood of West Linn, Oregon - Zone 8b. Thursday, March 26, 2015. Despite our warm winter, it was so nice to officially move into Spring. The soil is warming, buds are swelling and lawn mowers are humming on the weekends. I love spring because it is the season where color comes to life again. Miracle' Heuchera paired with Dicentra spectabilis. Now, isn't this a pretty vignette? Last year I purchased two Forget-me-Nots and they spread their seeds all over my gard...

The Rainy Day Gardener: Visit to The Netherlands
http://www.therainydaygardener.com/p/visit-to-netherlands.html
Organically Growing in the Willamette Neighborhood of West Linn, Oregon - Zone 8b. Visit to The Netherlands. In the summer of 2013, I finally journeyed to The Netherlands to visit my families roots. My Opa and Oma, along with my mother, immigrated in the mid 1950's from Nunspeet, Gelderland, first to Ontario, Canada and then to the USA, finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. We felt right at home and it was hard to say good bye. Here are the blog posts in which I share my visit:. Pacific NW Bloggers ...

http://www.therainydaygardener.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Organically Growing in the Willamette Neighborhood of West Linn, Oregon - Zone 8b. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Wednesday Vignette - Backyard Playground. It's Wednesday Vignette and I'm joining Anna over at Flutter and Hum. In celebration of a scene that made me stop to ponder this week. My kids took advantage of our recent trip to Costco. It appears the card board boxes are perfect ships for playing in the sea of grass. Childhood innocence and the sweet pleasures of imaginative play. Wednesday, May 20, 2015.

Blue Fox Garden: May 2013
http://bluefoxgarden.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Schefflera-land, all planted up…. When last I posted about Schefflera-land. It had just earned the name after having been planted up with both S. delavayi and S. taiwaniana. Since then I’ve been busy adding to the plantings and I’m happy to say things are filling in nicely…. And the prized Schefflera delavayi will attain its rightful status as king of the border sooner rather than later. The S. taiwaniana has a couple of years on it though. I love the blue hostas! Here’s the m...

The Rainy Day Gardener: A Spot of Rain
http://www.therainydaygardener.com/2015/07/a-spot-of-rain.html
Organically Growing in the Willamette Neighborhood of West Linn, Oregon - Zone 8b. Sunday, July 26, 2015. A Spot of Rain. Sweet July rainfall. We have suffered here in the Pacific Northwest from abnormally hot, summer temperatures with little trace of rainfall since late May. However, we had rain showers yesterday as a low trough moved over the region and it holds today as well. Another chance of rain and maybe thunderstorms tonight to possibly drench our thirsty lands. Echinacea sombrero hot coral.

Garden bloggers’ spring swap – sprig to twig. May 7, 2015. Garden bloggers’ spring swap. Ask most gardeners and they will say that they are shy introverts. You wouldn’t know it if you dropped in to one of our get-togethers, where the groupings are lively and newcomers are quickly assimilated into happy-making plant talk. It doesn’t hurt to have a host like Patricia ( Plant Lust. Seen here flanked on the left by Heather ( Just a Girl With a Hammer. And on the right by Loree ( Danger Garden. There are stil...

Open garden – sprig to twig. June 10, 2016. ANLD garden tour coming up. Devised as a way to showcase the artistry of its members, this tour has it all. Swoon-worthy plants shown off to best advantage in creative combinations (those fish swimming through a sea of grasses in the background are an example of the way art is incorporated into the gardens). Often the plants can be seen playing ingeniously with elements of the built environment. Clever ideas to swipe and make your own abound. August 7, 2015.
