Sorry to hear that you lose a few each winter. I was blown away by the gardens in the bay area and your ability to grow agaves, leucadendrons, some tender grevilleas, tree ferns, aeoniums, those incredible palms - all the things that we baby/ bring inside in the winter and still have fond memories of the gardens there. It seemed like a gardeners paradise.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-51297316727805623512014-08-17T19:33:34.778-07:002014-08-17T19:33:34.778-07:00I love plants with foliage just as much as some of...I love plants with foliage just as much as some of my flowering plants.

I was feeling all smug the other day because I'd planted the last of the pot ghetto in the ground but then I went to a big regional plant sale and have more work to do. Yikes. I don't even want to think of the arrival of the bulb orders I just placed. Fortunately, they won't come until October and planting bulbs for spring is always such a fun task!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-63673650976228134962014-08-17T10:06:00.626-07:002014-08-17T10:06:00.626-07:00Shazam!
