Garden of La Mancha: February 2008
http://gardenoflamancha.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Garden of La Mancha. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. I've been reading a book called The Four Ages of Tsurai, which is a compilation of the European accounts (including one by botanist Archibald Menzies) of the small Yurok village of Tsurai, which was just below the modern town of Trinidad, where I go for internet and library books. Olega’ “where they come.” A place near the end of the present wharf which got its name because objects continually drift ashore there.". Equally exciting is what I can't see.

Garden of La Mancha. Thursday, July 10, 2008. I spent the Fourth of July with my family at Big Lagoon and Trinidad.

Garden of La Mancha: Making Marks
http://gardenoflamancha.blogspot.com/2008/09/making-marks.html
Garden of La Mancha. Sunday, September 7, 2008. First there was a weeping beech. Not only is the bark smooth and white (which makes carvings more legible that they would be on say, a black walnut), but the architecture of the tree creates seclusion—a place where one’s not as likely to be caught being a vandal. It’s also interesting to see what people (individuals, couples, maybe even groups) carve when no one else is watching. And what do they carve? Layers upon layers. Sublime. Gardener of La Mancha.

Coastal CA Gardening: Disappointment
http://ccagardener.blogspot.com/2011/04/disappointment.html
Musings from a gardener whose home and garden is near the Elkhorn Slough (Sunset Zone 17) California. This is my gardening journal, and I welcome others who have gardening interests. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Potted up pepper and zinnia sprouts. Last Sunday it finally warmed up enough to go outside and pot up all my little sprouts from my desk. I was so pleased with my work. I had dreams that my next photo would be of healthy little plants all ready to be set out in the garden. View my complete profile.

Musings from a gardener whose home and garden is near the Elkhorn Slough (Sunset Zone 17) California. This is my gardening journal, and I welcome others who have gardening interests. Saturday, September 19, 2009. I can't say my garden is well tended this year. I haven't been taking pictures or doing much out there at all. But a dahlia that I purchased at the San Francisco Flower Show just bloomed, and it's as big as my head! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
