Wissahickon Schist: July 2014
http://wissahickonschist.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Gardening in Northwest Philadelphia along the Wissahickon Watershed. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. The Fire of Summer. Oh, the beauty of the day and all that belongs to it. I thought I would be sad because I have not one hydrangea bloom this year. But no, the lack of blue just heightens the harmony of the hot colors of present flowering. Only when the light is this strong can white, red, pink, orange and violet (tempered by green) be so right together. Do all these colors go together? Perhaps. But also more.

Seedheads are a common sight in the Fall. Resist the temptation to immediately chop them down and instead enjoy their quiet beauty. Birds will enjoy their bounty. Featured here,. October 2015, Napa.

My Back 40 (Feet): July 2013
http://back40feet.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
My Back 40 (Feet). We were up in Seattle a couple weekends ago visiting family and friends. Here are some pictures from Snoquera Falls. A fine, two-mile hike about an hour south of SeaTac. After about a 1-mile hike uphill, you reach a granitic debris field and nice waterfall. It may take a bit of discernment to maintain sight of the trail after you leave the falls area. During our visit, some of the rocks had shifted out of place and we had to do a bit of scrambling to get over them. Follow me on Twitter.

My Back 40 (Feet): May 2013
http://back40feet.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
My Back 40 (Feet). Everyday sights in Bernal Heights. A walk in San Francisco this time of year is a blessed thing. But maybe not today. Today is foggy and a little cold. I took these pictures yesterday when it was sunny. Today, staying home with your cats is a blessed thing. A little bit dissonant to totally fence off your yard from the neighborhood and put up a peace sign and Christmas lights. My sunflowers are still just seedlings compared to these. Copper canyon daisy ( Tagetes lemmonii. On the right .

My Back 40 (Feet): August 2012
http://back40feet.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
My Back 40 (Feet). Mid-August in the back 40. I ran in to Kelly. Concert last weekend. She said Garden Blogger Spring Fling 2013 is slated for San Francisco? First I'd heard of it! Anyway, I may or may not participate in the Fling itself, but I definitely have some suggestions for gardens you should visit and maybe for accommodations too. San Francisco is expensive. I would love to meet some of you. Would you come over for dinner one night? Anyway, our chance encounter reminded me that I. I culled all th...

My Back 40 (Feet): July 2012
http://back40feet.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
My Back 40 (Feet). I've been spending 1-2 hours per day in the garden since we got back from Hawaii. It's part of my daily routine, while applying for jobs, and working on some special math/programming projects I've been waiting for school to end to work on. Today we have fuchsia and dahlia. Big, dark (edible) berries follow the flowers on the red Fuchsia boliviana. I pruned the daylights out of Fuchsia. Miep Aalhuizen' several weeks ago. It was that or take it out. All those 'Bishops Children' dahlia tu...

Moroccan Poppy), Truth to tell, I can't really tell one apart from the other. One's supposed to be shorter, but when they're wearing heels, it's really hard to tell. Pretty easy) and have been saving this year's seed crop. I plan to spread them around in early spring. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Last month I dug up the Purple Viking potatoes.
