Every great garden needs world-class plumbing. 💧 New blog post drops tomorrow on Hydro-Logic for wildlife: why your garden needs a mud economy for native bees, thermal buffers for heat domes, and bio-filters that actually work. Water = habitat catalyst.

Your yard isn't a rug, it's a building. 🏗️🌿
Nature grows in layers: canopy, understory, shrubs, groundcover. Each "floor" supports different life. Most lawns? Just one flat dead layer.
Ready to design vertically? Our new blog explains how:

Takes the fun out of fall bulb shopping when the first order to arrive is the dried-out BOGO bearded iris. I expect some duds but come on, not right out of the gate! #grump
Darned impulse buy. Even if it does survive, not like I have space to put it other than a pot. #pnwgardens 🌱

Worksheet with columns as dates 1 week apart - Sep 1, Sep 8, etc through March 9. Color is used to indicate the periods of Minimum chilling time, Optional Chill window after Minimum, Growth Periood, and Bloom period. Rows show how starting on any particular date looks in terms of when the bulb has reached minimum chill, when it's reached optimal chil, how many weeks it will be growing and finally what weeks it may be blooming. There is a black border outlining the block where columns for Dec 15-22-29 intersect with planting dates that can result in blooms during that period.
For when my brain can't math: one of my worksheets when to start chilling bulbs and when to pull and pot up if I want blooming flowers for Christmas. Aka "start those hyacinths NOW" #pnwgardens 🌱
End of summer flowers. This is my first year with dahlias. Going ok so far!
