• A new camera!

  
  Sara L. Chapman's Fave Photos Blog — Authority: 429
  Santa came a bit early and I got a Canon Powershot S90! Here’s a very appropriate photo of the dawn, taken yesterday morning in my backyard, as my first post with the new camera. The only benefit of the days starting so late is I get to see the actual dawn sometimes. Have you guessed I am not naturally an early ...

• Glads of summer

  
  Sara L. Chapman's Fave Photos Blog — Authority: 429
  This was taken at my old front yard in the Des Moines house. Glads closest, yellow and orange day lilies behind, and some Asiatic (Oriental? I always get those confused) pink lilies behind that. The glads were such a thrill, and easy, too. Visit Flowers For Today for more floriferousness. And Scenic Sunday is ...

  Theres about 8" of snow outside, with expectations of much more before morning, and this tenacious little pear tomato is still valiantly hanging in there.

• Oops!

  
  Chookie's Back Yard — Authority: 103
  I see it has been a month since I last posted. Not quite what I had planned! Here is whats happened in that time: I cured Lizzie of broodiness. The iron deficiency on the tomato plant was resolved with some seaweed tea, as mentioned earlier. Some of my tomatoes were holed by tomato worm. My children ...

• April rhododendron

  
  Sara L. Chapman's Fave Photos Blog — Authority: 429
  These rhodies are from my old house in Des Moines, Washington. It was noisy, right in the SeaTac flight path, but we sure had some great flowers. The magnolia tree I’ve posted a couple of times was growing there. In front were some huge rhodies and some orange azaleas, too. I miss them, but I sure don’t miss that ...

• Frost in the Garden

  
  Gardening Gone Wild — Authority: 117
  For those of you in real winter climates, please humor this Californian who went photo crazy in the garden the other morning when it got all the way down to 24.  Some of you only wish it might get up to 24.  If crunching across the frozen grass is no rare sensory treat that gets the creative juices flowing for ...

  Mahmood's Den — Authority: 125
  Peacock Orchid (Gladiolus Callianthus), originally uploaded by malyousif. One of the most beautiful flowers in my garden, coming into bloom again for the 2nd year, and doubled or tippled since last year too! I guess there is an advantage of keeping bulbs where they are rather than digging them up!Have a wonderful ...

• one agave, eight ways (december bloom day)

  
  [ Lost in the Landscape ] — Authority: 115
  For December 15’s Garden Bloggers Bloom Day I’m trying something new. Instead of showing you all the almost ever-blooming things in the garden I’m highlighting a single plant, the foxtail agave ( Agave attenuata ) that’s finally blooming after a decade and a half in the ground. I posted before on how the ...

• Ornamental sunflower

  
  Sara L. Chapman's Fave Photos Blog — Authority: 429
  This sunflower, photo taken in my garden in September, is actually a volunteer plant, sown accidentally by the birds or squirrels from the black oil sunflower seeds they love to eat. It’s a good system. The birds spill a ton of seed from the feeder on a pole on the lawn, and the squirrels who cannot raid the baffled ...

• Rebirth

  
  Because I Said So! — Authority: 106
  We replanted my rosebush about a month and a half ago because its roots were partially exposed. I love my rosebush, but I had to uproot it if it was going to be healthy, so Wayne planted the original bush and I planted three other stalks in the garden. After they were securely patted down and watered I whispered to ...

• Cactus shadows

  
  Sara L. Chapman's Fave Photos Blog — Authority: 429
  The weather has been so cold that it’s discouraging to be out of doors too much, but the sunny weather is so appreciated for us sunlight-starved Seattlites. Here’s a recent photo of my early morning window view of cacti, right where I have my coffee. The rocks (mostly heart-shaped, although you can’t see that ...

• birthday seed-card

  
  [ Lost in the Landscape ] — Authority: 115
  A card showed up at my desk, a few days early for my official birthday. Some people can restrain themselves from opening cards until the appointed day, but I’m not one of them! The card was one of those that has wildflower seeds incorporated into the paper’s fibers—Maybe you’ve seen them? The basic idea ...

  Mahmood's Den — Authority: 125
  Dombeya (Tropical Hydrangea), originally uploaded by malyousif. If you know me you probably know how much I love hydrangeas and my abject failure in trying to get them to grow in Bahrain. This, my friends, is the substitute and it’s growing well in my garden. This is in it’s second year now.Have a wonderful Friday ...

• BLOOMIN BIG

  
  katiecrackernuts — Authority: 120
  GROWING, growing. Actually its gone mad. Its a zucchini. There are two plants in the same plot I just pulled the carrots from and another two nearby, which are nowhere near the size of these. It would be a Peter Cundall -esque example of how important is to spend time improving the soil. Its Friday. And thats ...

• my carnivores in december

  
  [ Lost in the Landscape ] — Authority: 115
  As winter approaches many of the plants in the bog garden are starting to retreat into dormancy. Sunday I filled part of a bucket with the trimmings from the bog and two trays of potted carnivorous plants. I have mostly American pitcher plants, sarracenia , and I’ve been starting to learn the rhythms of the ...

• house project update

  
  [ Lost in the Landscape ] — Authority: 115
  We’re just about done with the exterior painting of the studio. Earlier I’d asked people for their opinions for plant-friendly colors to use. Town Mouse and Country Mouse each weighed in for lighter, warmer colors, partly in reaction to my saying I was leaning towards a dark urban gray. Barbara sent this link ...

  Chickens in the Road — Authority: 435
  I harvested horseradish and garlic yesterday. Because it was perfect gardening weather. As you can tell.LAST DAY!!! Vote vote vote here!Horseradish should be harvested in dormancy, in the late fall or winter. After the first frost. Not necessarily after the first snow, but that’s when Boomer and I finally got ...
