Re: Summertime...
Still Spring here- high of 70 today- gorgeous!
Mowed the lawn, planted the random plants from the SF flower show and
Annie's Annuals finally (lost 2 to the damn snails in the wait- rats!).
But now everything is in. Only dug up 3 existing plants and managed to
squeeze the other new plants in every nook and cranny possible. My
lilac is fully open- smells heavenly! Also dug out most (hopefully) of
the corms? of the butterfly iris that I've been trying to get rid of for
a month now. I keep digging more and more stuff out and it keeps coming
back. What a pain. I hate that plants- looks nice only briefly while
blooming and then looks ratty all of the rest of the time. Some day it
will be gone (then I have 2 more smaller ones to still dig up).
Happy gardening all : )

and the livin' is easy. Maybe. But whatever. It seems to have suddenly
arrived, easy or not. It's been in the low 80s for a week or so and
the forecast is for it to remain so for the foreseeable future. Lots
of stuff is blooming, but there always is here--orchids, begonias,
petrea, jatropha, on and on.
I just saw an interview with the guy that established the Honest T
company. It raised a question for me--since tea is the dried leaf of a
camellia species, I wonder if I'll be able to grow one in Oregon. I
tried here a couple of times and couldn't, too warm. Might be fun to
really do it.
