A TIME TO REAP, SOW AND SHOP

I'd rather be hiking and I should do my taxes but the wisest course on this promising Sunday is to head for the nursery. If you're thinking of doing the same by all means IMPULSE BUY, the industry's depending on you, but for my money I'm taking measurements of the area where I need to revamp things and will try to buy only what will fit.

Honest.

Incidentally, I'm going native today at Bosky Dell Natives outside Portland and a quick run outside with a measuring tape indicates I've got @35 sq ft to play with. Hoping to keep it musical with varying foliage textures and bloom times. Will report back once I've scored.

  1. What fun! I will not be able to do much shopping this year and next, as we're planning to move to Portland in 2010. Can't wait to see what you get--I've seen pics on Garden Rant of your garden, and it's beautiful.

  2. I am an official Ketzel groupie now. I am glad you have started your CRG hikes already. Perhaps i will join you on one this year. MB

  3. What I bought isn't even worth a follow-up post. I had infinitely more fun at Bovee's Nursery where the show garden of species rhododendron alone is worth the visit.
