Looking back at old posts of this garden, I realize I have been working here since 2016, about nine years. But lots of work needed to prepare the site before any plants were added just two years ago. This is the first autumn the plants have reach a good mature size.

Memphis Fling - Extra Days Off
Frank and I arrived a day before the tour began and stayed three days after. We wanted days to explore Memphis without any itinerary. From my window seat this is downtown Memphis and the mighty Mississippi River.

Hell Strip Supports the Monarch Butterfly
I am so pleased to see six or so Monarch caterpillars on this Milkweed I planted years ago. First time to witness the larva on one of my plants. Direct action. But apparently to some native plant enthusiasts, this is the wrong Milkweed to grow here on central coastal California. These littles ones could have utilized the Showy Milkweed planted twenty feet away, but didn’t, they chose this one, Asclepias tuberosa.

Memphis Fling - Third Day
Visited on Sunday June 8, 2025
Sunday Morning 7am, BB King's Blues Club is quiet. Nobody was out on the street. Perfect way to see a sight. But we are here to see gardens. Today we go out to the suburban town of Germantown.
