Study Weekend Garden Tours - Southeast & North Portland - pt. 1
Despite all the work and hoopla of preparing for our open garden on Monday, I did manage to steal away on Friday and Saturday to visit the gardens in Portland. There were six gardens on Friday, located in the Southeast and North Portland neighborhoods. Beginning with the first three - Jenn Ferrante garden - Cool and calming, an oasis of serenity with pinks and blues and touches of chartreuse. And a majestic weeping beech. Peter Eastman and Dayrol Griffin garden - another colorful oasis with many tropical touches and a well-executed street border planting. Anne Davis & Miles McCoy garden - This small garden packs quite a punch with borders, potted plants and artistic touches. Check out that pathway! More to come...

This was always my favorite growing up. We'd put it in a bread bowl using good San Francisco sourdough. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI make this dip too, and it is sooo good. I like to put it in a bowl of bread.
ReplyDeleteOur spinach crop has continued even with the 20degree nights we have had. Now I know what we can do with some of the harvest!
ReplyDeleteYummy...It's important to have a few excellent dip recipes to serve visitors and residents on cold wintry days! gail
