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...

The Latest Chip Drop


My work is cut out for me as I just requested a Chip Drop and it arrived the very next morning. They are always huge loads but this one seems bigger. Much larger than it appears in the photo. This will be spread over most of the beds in back and front.

  1. Is it steam coming off the pile?
    Oh, I hope there will be after photos :-D

  2. As Chavli said, it looks like it's steaming! Best wishes with getting it spread. With no rain in sight now, it's time for me to order a truckload of compost and get to work too.
