Yesterday was the first day of the Garden Writers Association annual symposium in Dallas. There were some fun characters walking around, some great books (including a soft release of “Heirloom Bulbs for Today”), and great plants! I made it back last night in time for pizza and a movie and more work on the farm [...]

A Magical Affect
Yesterday at the cabin we hosted fifteen or more master gardeners, garden writers, and various plant enthusiasts of all kinds. It was the first time Chris and I hosted a decent sized group as a married couple. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves especially when our guests left that afternoon with big smiles on their faces. What [...]
A Wednesday at the Cabin
Chris left this morning at the awful hour of 3:45am without me. With such an early departure, I cheerfully volunteered to stay behind. Chris spoke to the Houston Garden Club of America at the beautiful Houston Arboretum and Nature Center, and I was left to my own devices today. Sort of. Shipping was a big [...]
Fishing for Food
Life at the cabin is falling back into a routine. Fish for dinner, work on the farm, ship out orders…oh, how I love these days (and the cooling weather). Busy fall speaking tour is kicking up this week with a talk to the Garden Club of Houston. In case you were wondering about what a [...]
Canada Geese This Morning

After a few days at the farm, I received this e-mail from a customer: “The Oxblood bulb I bought from you at the garden conference in Prescott, AZ, 2 years ago has finally bloomed. Gorgeous.” Not long after [...]
West Coast Naked Ladies
I say it up front, because if I just call them surprise lilies, somebody will try to embarrass me in front of more people later by saying “We call those naked ladies!” Yes, they are called that, too, I know. I beat you to the chase and have put it in the title of the [...]
Happy Friday
Singing to myself for a few reasons this morning! Returning home to a huge stack of orders to ship out is a great dilemma facing us today. Rather than shipping outside in 100 degree temperatures like we did in August, the weather here in Golden is cloudy and only in the 80’s today. And…dumdededum! The [...]
More from West Yellowstone
Ever go on vacation and obsess about taking pictures to the point that you forgot to enjoy the moment and beauty before you? Breezing through West Yellowstone on Saturday purposing to enjoy every peak, meadow, cool breeze, and buffalo, I neglected to properly document our time with pictures. Wouldn’t you know that I would forget [...]
