Seattle Plant Exchange

Name That Plant

I've enjoyed perusing Name That Plant, a blog by a landscape designer who resides here in the Pacific Northwest.

The blog has already helped me to identify a few plants, including the beautiful and fragrant anemone clematis (also Clematis montana).

When Tom & Cristine visited for the first Seattle Plant Exchange event, we all marveled at the climbing plant (which was chosen by the former homeowners to cover their handcrafted trellis), but didn't know what it was called.

I'm hoping cuttings will root well, as I'd be happy to share this beauty with others.  I'll be experimenting soon...

Petunia's Garden

Stumbled upon this blog today and love it:

DigginFood

I observed Willi Galloway in action this morning at the West Seattle Edible Garden Fair. She presented "Some Like It Hot: How to Grow Warm Season Crops in the Cool Pacific Northwest," from which I gleaned some tremendous tips.

Like me, Willi moved to the Pacific Northwest from the East Coast.  Unlike me, she is an accomplished and knowledgeable gardener, a magazine editor, and a Seattle Tilth board member.

Willi's blog, which concentrates on topics related to "cooking with food fresh from the garden" is DigginFood.  Please check it out.

I will post more on what I learned from her workshop later today...

Greenish Gardener

As I learn of Pacific Northwest gardening blogs, I will post them here. I am happy to link to the Greenish Gardener...her Seattle garden adventures are a year ahead of mine, so I've learned quite a bit from her already.
