Clark County Mini-Tour
It is a rare rainy day here in August (or more accurately, a wet, drizzly day). That means a break from watering and a good chance to catch up on blogging and other computer-related tasks. Before I continue with my England tour highlights, I wanted to share photos from this past Sunday's mini-tour of four gardens here in Clark County (an event sponsored by HPSO - Hardy Plant Society of Oregon). I saw three of the gardens on Sunday. I had already visited the fourth one, Lynne Heidsiek's native habitat garden, when she was part of the Study Weekend tour that we were on. Our first stop was the marvelous shade garden of Margaret Stapenhorst. A bluestone patio is surrounded by towering mature trees that shade a woodland garden. There was a fern table and a moss garden, as well as garden art by Steve Farris. Loved, loved the waterfall. This is what I'd like to do in our front garden, but I don't know if we have the room. Just a few streets over is the garden of Eloise and Bo...
Looks and sounds great! Radish sandwiches are good too!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great-looking salad, Phillip.
ReplyDeleteWas the taste sharp/spicy with all those radishes? Or did the cucumber cool things off?
YUM! Sounds great! I have a radish and tuna salad recipe with lemon juice, salt, olive oil, parsley, celery & green onions. But I'm always up for another recipe, so thanks for sharing! Did you know radishes are natural antibiotics?
ReplyDeleteCarol, believe it or not, I've never had one!
ReplyDeleteAaron, yes a bit spicy but the cucumbers too cool it down.
Katherine, I love tuna salad and would like to find that recipe!
Thanks for the idea, because I do indeed have too many radishes!
ReplyDeleteMama used to say that Radishes had made more gardeners than anything else because they come up fast and produce in a short time, very encouraging.
ReplyDeleteI put radishes in cole slaw. They give a little bite and a little color.
