2017 NW Flower and Garden Show

John and I went to our first Northwest Flower and Garden Show on Saturday. I was sure we’d only be there an hour but stayed for 2+. In fact, I could have poked around for a little longer, but opted not to torture the husband who isn’t as much of a plant freak as myself. […]

Back at it!

After a long winter hiatus I decided to start noodling on this gardening website again. It’s been an extra-cold winter in the PNW and I just can’t bring myself to go outside and gardening in freezing weather.

This is me!

About Me

Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
