Ramblings of a waterlogged Seattle area gardener and wannabe urban farmer
Garden Books I LOVE:
FREE-RANGE CHICKEN GARDENS. I have the pleasure of being included in Jessi Bloom's beautiful book (pages 27, 51 upper left, 112, 114-117). Check it out!
THE NEW LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN. This book by Val Easton is one of my favorite design books.
WICKED PLANTS: Great read about poisonous plants by Amy Stewart.
THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S BIBLE. My favorite vegetable garden reference book by Edward C. Smith.
GROW. COOK. EAT. by Willi Galloway is a beautiful vegetable garden cookbook. Great recipes and tips on eating ALL parts of the veggie - not just the mainstream parts.

The yellow ones at the top are double daffodils – can you believe it! Then under those are a couple crazy tulips. Can you tell that I like unusual blooms?

Wow, beautiful blooms! And so many! I envy your flowers and your zone. Are the unusual green flowers Bells of Ireland?

The unusual green flowers are Euphorbia (Spurge). I’m sure they’re not friendly to your zone since they don’t make it past certain winters here. They’re some of my favorites!

Amazing macro-shots. Even the dandelion looked fabulous! My favorite though is the Flowering Current. I used to have one. I keep seeing them around and I’m so tempted to stop and get a photo. Gorgeous!

Grace, I totally agree that the flowering current is stunning! It’s still a baby so this is first it has bloomed. I was super excited.
