Coming up . . .

Le Tour des Plants, a festival of fall gardening, continues through the weekend. There’s still lots to see and do at nurseries up and down the Willamette Valley. Just yesterday, I picked up a few (okay, more than a few) fuchsias to tuck into the landscape. Thanks Ron and Debbie at Monnier's Country Gardens!
