Building a garden that blends in with the surrounding landscape of mostly chaparral, oak, and Ponderosa pine
My next project: Indoors project is building of a small studio inside the barn -- for my indoors hobbies of ceramic sculpture, painting, glass fusing and creating metal clay jewelry. DONE as of Fall 2015.
About me: Love to grow edible shrubs, and at present have 3 dwarf peaches and one dwarf pear on our deck ... as well as a beloved quince which I've been trekking around in a large tub. Now that i live on acreage again (2015) I will probably plant it out next Fall. Acquired several named daylily starts last Fall, they're already growing nicely.
I've gardened in South Africa, California, Oregon ... and now California again. Back to a longer sunny season, hurrah!
At this time I don't have a wide variety of plants/seeds to trade, but I do have named Daylily offsets, seedling Crinum plants, and at the end of the 2016 growing season I'll have gem squash and Physalis peruviana (Cape Gooseberry, aka Kaapse Appelliefie) seeds. For those growing native plants in California, I have an abundance of bulbs of Chlorogalum pomeridianum (Soap Lily, a CA native bulbous plant that forms clumps in winter ... It is also called Soap Plant, California Soaproot or Amoles.
