This year I am embracing the cool fogginess of my backyard. I just got my copy of Pam Peirce's Golden Gate Gardening. We're lucky to have some fruit trees and some herbs that have gone native in back; I keep a pot of mint on the front porch. But this Spring I would like to put in a few more things. I want to grow some viney things.
Renee's Garden is a good source for you.
ReplyDeleteI plan on gardening today, but we had another frost last night so maybe not a wise idea on my part. I can't stand the brown, Florida is supposed to be beautiful, not brown. I love San Fran, such a gorgous place.
ReplyDeleteI like your "work with what you have" way of thinking. My partner and I took a different route. We let our windy hillside on the Oregon coast continue to support hardy roses, heather, daisies and hydrangeas. For our vegetable desires we took a plot in the more-sheltered community garden!

I bought my mother a dwarf pomegranate tree for Mother's Day from Gurney's online. It didn't take long to ship at all. And they have all sorts of wonderful "viney" things that are a bit more compact than huge trees. Also sent my aunt some rhubarb plants from them. Good luck, Mrs. Lear!---and post photos for us of your lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteUp early this morning to plan my window herb garden. Such a tiny window to work with and I want to grow too many herbs! But was thinking that if I HUNG a plant or two... Then began to wonder if Mrs. Lear knew of any patterns for unique plant hangers? Everything I'm finding online has that wooden beads and hemp 70s look.
