Some significant and much-needed rain hit my north Seattle garden today, so I am holding off on planting all my native plants until it subsides. I’m glad they are getting a good soaking prior to planting, and the soil will be nice and moist and settled.
Smithsonian Magazine has an April article on my hero Doug Tallamy and his efforts to save species through restoration. Find the article HERE.
While I am waiting for the rain to finish freshening up the garden, I’m designing a yard sign to put at the corner of the yard where people pass frequently that briefly describes the native garden project and gives people a link to this blog and to Doug Tallamy’s videos. We have a LOT of traffic going past the house during the stay-at-home order, so now seems the perfect time to pop a sign out there.
Here is where I’ve landed with the sign. We’ll see if it generates any interest.
