http://gimcw.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Of the SF Bay Area. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Something I found on YouTube . . . Not much I can say - you just have to watch this video for yourself! Wednesday, June 23, 2010. The main succulent in this photo should be familiar to those of you who have seen my garden. It is a hybrid Echeveria. I've grown for many years under the name 'Gilva'. Discovered and described by Eric Walther in 1935 and presumed to be a E. agavoides. Times; E. elegans. Cross). The plant habit is very similar to E. elegans. To me)...

olives and artichokes - a Mediterranean garden: March 2011

http://olives-and-artichokes.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Olives and artichokes - a Mediterranean garden. Olives et artichauts - un jardin méditerranéen. Thursday, 31 March 2011. Foire au gras and the last day of March in the garden. At the weekend we went on a trip to the Gers in south-west France, guided by friends who used to live in that area and know it well. The highlight of the visit was the Monday morning. In Samatan, devoted to the sale of foie gras and fattened ducks for making. The marché au gras at Samatan. And preserved the foie gras. In another ma...

Olives and artichokes - a Mediterranean garden. Olives et artichauts - un jardin méditerranéen. Friday, 13 May 2011. Mid-May in the garden. With 70 tomato plants, 30 peppers, 4 cucumbers and 16 aubergines put out in their beds in the garden, we’re getting through the summer planting.  There are still courgettes, pumpkins (several varieties) and butternut squash plants waiting, and growing bigger every day, on the balconies. A row of Turkish pink tomato plants, grown from seeds sent to me by beste. 22 May...

gardening in themediterranean climateof the SF Bay Area: Arum palaestinum

http://gimcw.blogspot.com/2012/04/arum-palaestinum.html

Of the SF Bay Area. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. This is one of the very first plants I ever grew myself - from bulbs given to me when I was a teenager by a gardener in my hometown (yes, I still have them! For me, in our mediterranean climate, the leaves are usually withering away by the time the flowers appear in spring. But perhaps that makes this dark flower stand out even more. I've placed it (a potted specimen) in front on this gray-white Centaurea ragusina. Needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate.

gardening in themediterranean climateof the SF Bay Area: April 2010

http://gimcw.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Of the SF Bay Area. Monday, April 26, 2010. The dusty miller saga. Forever ago, when I was a teenager, my very first job was working in a local (Santa Clara) nursery. I loved being around all those plants and learning something new about them each day! And nothing more). As I turned happily to see my customer’s expression, I was surprised to see a look of consternation. “Those are the wrong ones! I knocked on the door, but the house was dark and no one answered. As I left, I broke off a number of the...

gardening in themediterranean climateof the SF Bay Area: Lotus jacobaeus

http://gimcw.blogspot.com/2012/04/lotus-jacobaeus.html

Of the SF Bay Area. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. The so called Black flowered lotus. For obvious reasons. Couldn't resist this offering by Annies Annuals. A quite little plant, now enjoying a warming trend in our weather. The continuous flowers are very surprising - usually takes visitors a bit of time to notice them, but notice they do! Native of rocky sites on the Cape Verde islands, just off the coast of East Africa. April 28, 2013 at 9:35 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
