I don't know how you get the energy to work in the garden, go on wonderful plant expeditions, work, post ... you are amazing!<br />It was 29 degrees yesterday .. I was working in the garden and it was HOT with no breeze .. today we finally have some rain and I keep grumbling "please KEEP raining!!" ... in any case sweetie .. love those perfect topiary !<br />Joy ... still dealing with naughty compost issues .. ugh !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-91972000619450247692016-05-12T22:48:45.240-07:002016-05-12T22:48:45.240-07:00They're Located right on Highway 30, past the ...They're Located right on Highway 30, past the turn off for Sauvie Island (Cistus.) If you turn left, you're on the road to Joy Creek Nursery, right puts you in the parking lot of Means. 27400 NW St Helens Rd, Scappoose. I'm sorry you had to work but I usually make it down to the Portland area quite a few times during the growing season. If you ever make it up to my neck of the woods, let me know. I'm always happy to do a bit of nursery hopping/garden touring! outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-39796013190519775832016-05-12T22:43:13.055-07:002016-05-12T22:43:13.055-07:00Oh Rickii, seeing you and the rest of the gang was...Oh Rickii, seeing you and the rest of the gang was reward enough.
