I’ve been getting the itch to blog again, since I don’t do instagram or facebook anymore. For me blogging is like a public digital scrapbook I can look at instead of flipping through our 1000’s of flickr pics. I’ll be helping out with the The Garden Bloggers Fling here in Madison this weekend, which I’mContinue reading “DIY Seed Starting Spree”

Friday Garden F*ck Ups: Garden Junk Gone Wrong
Cover your eyes! We’ve lived in California for nearly thirteen years and are heading back to Madison, Wisconsin in about two weeks.
Pt. Richmond Fairy Home and Garden Tour
We left Davis for the first time in forever to go visit friends Pat and Bob in Point Richmond before we head back to Wisconsin. Pat and my mom met about 44 years ago in Madison when they were both pregnant (my mom with me). Whenever we visit I always want to check out theContinue reading “Pt.

Friday Garden F*ck Ups: The Agave
Avert your eyes Danger Garden I’m about to talk smack about an Agave. It’s not a bad Agave, just poorly placed. Did we bother to google Agave americana or even “blue agave” before getting one off of craigslist for free? Nope. We may not have had iphones back then, but we did have wifi andContinue reading “Friday Garden F*ck Ups: The Agave”
Crazy Coleus Lady
Where is the cheapest place in Dane County to get multi-packs of coleus? I’m serious, guard your coleus if I’m around. I’m going to be travelling with little baggies of sphagnum moss for taking cuttings where ever I go. It’s really the only plant you need for pretty much everything and so easy to propagate viaContinue reading “Crazy Coleus Lady”
Grow Your Own Pineapple
Way back in 2009 I must have read somewhere on the interwebs that you could propagate a pineapple using a pineapple from the grocery store. There’s the weird picture montage I made about it years ago. Last summer while trapped in the house I started a pineapple again since we were going through them likeContinue reading “Grow Your Own Pineapple”
Friday Garden F*ck Ups
I apologize for my potty mouth post, but folks who have met me in real life know I swear a lot, including the F word. Unfortunately, producing a child did not help me clean up my foul trucker mouth. Way back in the super old days I did some whack shit in the garden thatContinue reading “Friday Garden F*ck Ups”
Sweet, Sweet, Succulent Wagon
It’s hard to believe it’s been over ten years since I first jammed some extra succulent cuttings in a wagon we snagged at a garage sale for super cheap, or maybe even nabbed it off the street I don’t remember. I’m not going to make you look at the boring picture of it with holesContinue reading “Sweet, Sweet, Succulent Wagon”
Driftwood Succulent Centerpieces
Back February 2016 I experimented with chunks of driftwood, succulent cuttings from around the yard and sphagnum moss. Our friends Neal and Tina were going to be getting married that May and we volunteered to do flowers and decorations for their rustic redwoods wedding in Felton. Matti did the tricky work of screwing the driftwood together based onContinue reading “Driftwood Succulent Centerpieces”
Succulents in the Gutter
Originally posted: October 20, 2016Update: the gutters now have carnivores, begonias, oxalis and bromeliads. It’s still a spider web party back there. A few months back I begged Matti to build me gutter gardens, so I could produce mass quantities of strawberries, lettuce and other edibles. As soon as summer (the rain free time here SF)Continue reading “Succulents in the Gutter”
