The new raised beds are lush and producing more than we can eat.

Houseplant update

While waiting in the Cancun airport, I purchased this Oaxacan planter. It is currently housing a Schefflera arboricola cutting.

I made a quick trip to Toronto for a friend's wedding and of course tried to squeeze in a little botanical interest. This is a view out the top of Allan Gardens Conservatory.

Old Goat Farm

Old Goat Farm near Mount Rainier was open today for Northwest Perennial Alliance members. I love this fern table with a gabion base. And a few planters caught my eye.

Wisteria blooming on the deck this evening. In addition to looking beautiful, it has a fun bonus of feature, deck demolition. The former owners cleverly placed the upturned planter over a gaping hole created by the vine.
