A perfect early autumn Sunday in the garden.

You have to love the plant and be confident about its performance in order to plant a hedge of it on its own, viewed close up from both sides. The rose ‘Sally Holmes’ does the job great! Design truth from Jon at Healthy Gardens.

I designed the formerly sloped front yard with a dried up lawn into a colorful terraced garden. A Cascade Basalt rockery provides the perfect natural material that’s crafted to last forever. The yard is fairly drought tolerant, but a super efficient drip irrigation system provides occasional water. The owners love it!

This is a very good red rose, in my opinion. Like many rose lovers, I’m fond of a classic red rose. But which one to grow? I grow quite a few different varieties but one stands out this week that’s fragrant, weather proof (lots of cold late spring wind and rain not a problem), disease resistant, repeat blooming, and that’s ‘L.D. Braithwaite’.
A David Austin “English” rose that grows 4-6 feet high. If this one’s not available right now there are other good red ones by the same breeder.

What a great year so far for roses! This is the David Austin rose ‘Teasing Georgia’ that I paired with the always reliable and gorgeous Ceanothus ‘Victoria’.

Another stone patio ready for leveling and grout. Surrounding rock garden coming together too, creating the perfect context for the colorful naturalistic planting that will be added soon. The yard had such an awkward slope before the rocks.
How lucky I am that my day job is designing and building gardens AND it’s also my passion!

Okay, the cool plant of the night award in my garden goes to Eucomis 'Rhode Island Red', a Pineapple Lily.
I was just installing some landscape lighting today and and I kept looking at this plant which was seeming to make its own light.
The simple joys.

Ready or not, apple season has officially begun! Starting things off as it usually does and this year by the end of July, we have ‘Williams Pride’. Sweet/tart balance and juicy. They’re on the small side as I didn’t have time to thin the fruit. Most early summer apples keep only for 2 weeks or less and are good fresh eating apples so I usually give lots of these away. Sometimes I’ll press for juice.

The view AND the garden makes the complete picture. I designed and planted this 1 acre garden on Lake Washington that celebrates and brings together both. This area is all shrubs for easier maintenance, and color for most of the year.

More roses and pollinating bees, two things I never tire of looking at.
This is a double form of the NW native Nootka Rose, Rosa nutkana 'Plena', looking beautiful.
