I very much enjoy your comments and am glad you found my blog! Although I love reading blogs from all over the world, the PNW blogs show wonderful nurseries and gardens that we can visit on a day trip and also show successes and failures with plants in our region. Havea great weekend!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-39738065389749549082013-10-20T09:46:28.109-07:002013-10-20T09:46:28.109-07:00I do not have blog, Peter.

I admire your (and others) commitment to blogging.<br />I live in a condo in West Seattle with a few house plants and get my gardening groove in a friend's house in North Seattle, not far from Swanson's nursery. (Have you been to Swanson's?)<br />12 years ago my friend's yard was a blank slate of grass and overgrown Laurel. I was a novice who knew nothing about gardening. We grew together, the garden and I. It became a passion I didn't know I have, and it seem to be growing all the time.<br />I was happy to find your blog for two reasons: first, I feel we share an insatiable appetite for nature and gardening and second, you are local so I can relate to everything and everyplace you write about. Thank you.<br /> chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-82884840332400032812013-10-19T17:50:58.305-07:002013-10-19T17:50:58.305-07:00Thanks Lee!

Everyone asks about the Magnolia macrophylla - what is it, where can they get one. I thought putting an agave out front would elicit questions too but not so much. I've mostly finished chopping down the lilac, holly, wild mahonia, hawthorn and maple volunteer thicket that had taken over a huge dry area of a parking strip. Am planning on replacing that with yuccas and some of the hardier agaves next spring. We'll see if anyone notices them there. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-39808449152674081082013-10-16T12:02:58.255-07:002013-10-16T12:02:58.255-07:00Yes indeed!

I planted mine in one of my culvert planters, where it gets really good drainage, but it still lost a couple of arms last winter. It bounced back quite well over the summer though. I don't think there is much chance that ours here in this part of the country will ever be as magnificent as Pam's.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
