Text of the page (random words):
en pretty shadows are cast from above makes for a nice atmosphere we wandered the many plant rooms of pomarius full of plants with character pomarius motto we stopped to sit and chat with old friends and new listening to the gurgle of water fountains and we dined under the light of the setting sun gathered around tables nestled amongst the greenery portlandians ann amateur bot ann ist and kate formerly of the blog plantwise now plant chronicles and fancies co conspired the wearing of beautiful locally grown floral arrangements for the hair it made many of us want to get married again or at least participate in the flowersonyourhead movement next year i hope to come more prepared recall how some donned fascinators in seattle gbfling11 perhaps it s becoming tradition ann and her woodland meadow inspired creation wandering the grounds made me wistful for a specialized nursery of my own follow the light if only my fair city had such an offering a bridge beyond the glass i was immediately drawn to this cast of characters cause really these are my people can t you tell ann peter the smiling photo bomber john greenlee yes that meadow man and kate wearing specialty floral pieces by none other than francoise weeks the nursery had its own army of honey mavens swarming a somewhat swiss belgian welch inspired hive design all that buzzes makes gold adjacent to the nursery was a trio of modern buildings housing an architectural firm appropriately suited to the nursery s aesthetic judy of botanical interests and floradora kelly talking shop a tower above balances a sunken garden below might a modern day rapunzel live near i could envision a live work situation here the garden carts await such a well hewn gate with hearty detail a delectable palette as we boarded the bus to return to the hotel nursery owner peter grabbed his own photo of the garden paparazzi lucky to spend an evening on his grounds i hear he made several time lapse videos of the event as well thankfully we were all on our best behavior the parting shot if i do say this was the best start to a garden bloggers fling yet the setting the refreshments the leisurely time to wander around with others amongst plants we all left with smiles on our faces whatever may the next days hold pdx here we come 2014 07 09 grwhryrpltd 5 comments no we re not up and moving again though i may wish that to be the case by the end of the weekend time to head to portland oregon for the 2014 garden bloggers fling yes it s been ages since i ve last blogged yes i ve had lots of intentions to update this space with goings on in the garden for oh what seems like two years now could it be yikes sorry guys i never got around to posting anything about the asheville fling or even last year s san fransico fling that i helped coordinate from afar let alone the garden events that occurred in between or since then my bad i blame it on instagram making it too darn easy to upload a photo with a simple caption have a conversation with friends and complete strangers much like i did here and move on to the next thing at least you could ve been following along with my instagram and twitter feeds located in the sidebars here on the blog oh well in my mind s eye i tried i ve often thought of re designing the format here i just haven t found one that i like i ve even thought of completely overhauling it into a website i guess in not taking the time to read other blogs consistently i haven t dedicated the time to updating or learning how to customize mine i ll get around to it one of these days i took a look at who s coming to the portland fling and while i m only half way through the list i m impressed with the content i ve seen so far others are obviously finding the time to blog so maybe i should too if nothing else i look forward to sharing time with fellow gardenerds visiting public and private gardens nurseries independent garden centers and the like i m sure there will be lots of conversation about the state of the garden blog and what s coming at us next along the garden path see you in pdx pursuing the path 2013 06 24 2013 06 24 grwhryrpltd 9 comments i ve been thinking and dreaming about paths a lot lately a new path leads through the garden so i pulled up a few quotes on the subject and like how the following flow together pursue some path however narrow and crooked in which you can walk with love and reverence henry david thoreau march on and fear not the thorns or sharp stones in life s path khalil gibran if the path be beautiful let us not ask where it leads anatole france we ourselves must walk the path buddha i m not sure where the path i ve chosen to take is ultimately leading me but i m grateful for all the places people and experiences it has brought me here s looking ahead to the garden bloggers fling just around the corner in san francisco later this week won t you count along with me 2013 02 07 grwhryrpltd 1 comment the great backyard bird count is coming up not this weekend but the following weekend so get ready i ve participated every year since moving to texas and it s amazing to see who all flies through the area and stops for a while in our garden the cedar waxwings are one of my favorite species to watch and listen for image and text from the gbbc e newsletter the great backyard bird count gbbc is for everyone from beginner birdwatchers

how to participate it s fun easy to do plus your efforts aid scientists in mapping bird migration patterns admit it you always wanted to be a scientist here s your chance from darkness to light 2012 12 19 grwhryrpltd 5 comments hello dear friends i know it s been a long time since i ve posted but life s been busy mostly with things that so quickly fill idle days that they spill over into restless nights thankfully as a dear friend once said tomorrow s another day speaking of it was an unseasonal 80 degrees in central texas today yet the snow is once again falling here at grow where you re planted if nothing else the animated pixels help to remind me that no it isn t the time for donning halloween costumes but to trim trees plug in the sparkly lights and bask in the warm glow of an oven filled with sweet and savory treats in a few days the winter solstice will be upon us and the hours of daylight will balance those of darkness it brings to mind a song and animated short i ve twice now seasonally featured the winter song sung by sara bareilles and ingrid michaelson pardon the short ad i ve appreciated the story it tells that spring will once again triumph over winter this time however listening to the lyrics immediately brought to mind the recent tragedy in connecticut i couldn t help but let the tears well up in my eyes and fall on my face particularly to these lyrics this is my winter song december never felt so wrong because you re not where you belong inside my arms i watched the animation and again the tears fell during those lyrics but watching the little girls play in the woods looking for any signs of life and finding a heart emerging from the snowmelt made me wonder as if there might be hope afterall hope for more nurturing for more care and compassion for more time discovering and celebrating the tiny miracles that constantly surround us amid so much darkness fear and pain this is my winter song to you the storm is coming soon it rolls in from the sea my love a beacon in the night my words will be your light to carry you to me is love alive this past weekend we heard eliza gilkyson sing play with her band at the austin armadillo christmas bazaar while looking up her albums afterward i coincidentally stumbled upon a song she wrote in response to the 2004 indian ocean tsunami requiem i recall connecting to it when i first heard the duet she performed with her daughter since then it s been performed by various groups in response to several challenging moments we ve since experienced for katrina and japan perhaps it s already been shared for newtown i don t think she played this song at the bazaar if she had there wouldn t have been a dry eye in the room it s a song that allows one to grieve and lament but to also be embraced and consoled i find comfort in these particular lyrics mother mary full of grace awaken mary fill the glass to overflowing illuminate the path where we are going have mercy on us all oh mother mary find us where we ve fallen out of grace lead us to a higher place in the dark night of our soul our broken hearts you can make whole oh mother mary come and carry us in your embrace let us see your gentle face mary here s a link to an npr story where eliza talks about writing requiem and where you can listen the original arrangement sung with her daughter and another link by craig hella johnson who collaborated with eliza on a choral arrangement for conspirare may these songs bring us all a little comfort as we transition from darkness into light see you in tucson 2012 10 11 2013 06 24 grwhryrpltd 4 comments heading to tucson for the garden writer s association conference today hoping to find the tracks back to the land of all things gardening i ve been a bad garden blogger 2012 05 15 2012 05 15 grwhryrpltd 13 comments if it weren t for my insistent friend ms slotharium i d probably never get this post up i know i ve been a really bad garden blogger lately but i just haven t been able to spend i e distract myself for a minute longer at the computer as this is the time of year to be outside in texas surely you understand so i won t waste anymore time giving excuses besides it s the bloom day before the garden bloggers meetup in asheville so i really need to post something or else the powers that be might not let me participate here s the prettiest blooming thing in the garden bespeckled with the day s constant drizzle it sure makes me smile hemerocallis big smile daylily no time to post photos of each individual blooming plant right now so here s the larger view what the front yarden is looking like a little wild yes but over the past couple of months it s been host to dozens of metamorphosing butterflies color shifting anoles and even a few molting snakes seeking refuge driveway garden view garden view to left of driveway right side garden view view from the top of the driveway moving along towards the back yarden here s a little project mr grwhryrpltd put together to support our enthusiastic grapevine new grape trellis over the garden gate concrete footers and enlarging the gravel threshold are all that s left to do until i overhaul the gate itself one bountiful cluster of vitis labrusca black spanish grape this is its first year of fruit production speaking of bounty we ve been harvesting plums the past few mornings from the front garden they re so tasty i m going to attempt to make plum jam this evening prunus methley plum beautiful and delicious oh right we were heading to the back garden here s what it looks like with somewhat frequent rains every 10 days or so a chair full of drying coriander now probably lost to the rains it just sat through oh well i bet cilantro will be growing here come fall a nice place to sit with a glass of wine in the evening particularly when the cushions are dry while the vegetables haven t been too productive this spring the native sunflowers sure have shot up like a rocket they re everywhere but i don t mind too much it gives the neighbors something to look at over the garden fence i ve limbed up the sunflower s leaves as they grow to support the tomatoes tomatillos and peppers growing underneath them the upper leaves should provide a bit of shade to get the veg through the heat of the day as well the patch of sunflowers in front of the raised bed was a little experiment to see how big they d get under competition from bermuda and st augustine grass they doubled in height after the last rain did i mention we ve been visited by critters lately here s a few of the highlights a handsome anole on pennisetum princess caroline and fig a non venomous yellow bellied racer or yellow bellied water snake i think snake id is not my forte unfortunately found dead in the garden i buried him her and s he s now growing a hearty patch of zinnias scare ya ha only a gardener would pull a confirmed dead snake out of sedges to see just how long it was 10 wine bottle width s worth i wonder how many more might be sneaking around now onto the critters for more gentle souls danaus plexippus monarch caterpillars denuded this asclepias butterfly weed it s since recovered and ready for the next batch of larvae a freshly spun monarch chrysalis you can still distinguish the caterpillar stripes on it another monarch chrysalis safely located under the fence stringer for protection from weather with lots of room for wing development available underneath a monarch chrysalis ready to break open she s free even the kitties got to see the butterflies hatching creaker johnny max our 1 kitty didn t even bat a paw first year we ve had polygonia interrogationis question mark butterflies guess it takes having a few buddleia butterfly bush on hand but somehow i don t think these shrubs will survive the texas summer heat the buddleia also attracted these junonia coepia common buckeye butterflies they may be common but i find them stunning on the domestic critter front the kitties have been well kitties i ve been playing nurse to puma for the past several weeks as she got into an altercation requiring surgery while healing from that with plastic cone collar on of course she went downhill fast due to another mysterious reason stroke aneurysm tumor to the point we thought we were going to lose her it s a looong story but she s doing fine now and we re so glad she s still with us dude and max did their best to avoid her lest they catch what she had ms pretty paws puma and mr fence jumper dude how s that for an update i could go on but i ve got some things to tend to before taking off for asheville looking forward to catching up with the garden blogging community while there and for those of you not going oh how i wish you were i probably won t blog from there but check out my twitter instagram feed for pictorial updates enroute ttfn the prettiest poppies 2012 03 28 2012 03 28 grwhryrpltd 3 comments i was delighted to see this raspberry pink poppy blooming for the first time in our garden a few mornings ago i m glad i got a few shots of it then because this evening...
