Garden Update: Obligatory Flowers, A New Tree and Caged Radishes

We’ve had an all-time record amount of rain in Seattle this winter. I don’t know if that makes for more May flowers than normal, but it’s definitely looking lush out there. The weeds are also pretty excited, but we won’t talk about those… Anyhow, here are my garden picks for this week!

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!
