If some of the Portland bloggers come up as well, we could maybe have a garden bloggers' picnic together by the river. Nothing too long as we'll want to hit Flower World, Molbak's, roadside attractions, etc. as well.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-22897169281528483412013-08-30T07:55:07.560-07:002013-08-30T07:55:07.560-07:00The PNW is pretty much like that so you should pro...The PNW is pretty much like that so you should probably give up and move here.

However, because of a health thing, I've not had as much energy or motivation to garden this summer. Fortunately, I'm much better now but won't have the time again. Everything is still alive and doing well but things don't look orderly at all. Oh well, the garden is a forgiving place and I'll get started early next season.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-50518431249856798572013-08-29T18:05:59.195-07:002013-08-29T18:05:59.195-07:00They do.

The frolic used to be a 2 day event so a couple of evenings of campfire talk took place. Judith provides meals for the vendors. It seems like a rally fun event in which to participate as a vendor. Almost makes me want to throw some glass garden stuff together and schlep it up there.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-72105133333714331452013-08-29T18:02:54.792-07:002013-08-29T18:02:54.792-07:00Next year would be fun.

I bet the name is on the Facy Fronds Fronderosa Frolic list of vendors. Maybe we should go next year to buy some! Some of the Oregon vendors weren't there this year either but there were several other vendors that I'd not seen before that filled in nicely.

The glass and colorful flags, and other garden art are so tempting. I'm not tempted by the Eucryphia, though, since losing a 15' Eucalyptus supposedly hardy to 0*F, because the first frost of the year was on Dec. 20 and in 3 days went to 6*F, so the plants had no chance to harden off gradually. I've had too many losses to be able to consider plants that can't go to say 5-10 degrees below freezing. Thanks for sharing all the awesome photos!

That was the main reason I went last year, and was so disappointed they weren't there. I have to admit I;m lusting after that enormous Brug that Tom is contemplating. It might just fit in my garage, but where would I put the other four I've got? Not to mention getting it home.<br /><br />Did you happen to notice who made those cool flags? I love them!
