Loree~See Janet’s comments, & I will give everyone a heads-up next year, for sure.

Erik~Welcome!

Joco~Let us see that Z-bed. Methinks you are too hard on yourself.

Janet~As you can see, my humble report has generated much enthusiasm…and these are plant fanatics, so watch out next year.

Grace~Barbara often opens her garden to HPSO, but I haven’t been there in a while. Thanks for the reminder. She visited mine the one year I was more brave than prepared and held it open. She was most helpful with questions I posed.

The objects d’art in the beds are scavenged from my son’s dumpster in Eugene. He owns Western Pneumatics, Inc. and fabricates conveyance systems and fans for the pulp and paper and forest products industry. Whenever I visit we climb in and drag out anything that I can lift. Neighbors are so envious that I have the money to buy and install such lovely “art”.
The sculpture is by Katy McFadden ..quite well known in the Portland area and loved by gardeners. The piece was bigger than she is and the foot had to be fired separately so has since come loose.
The sale was a roaring success and any leftover vegetable starts went to a community garden on NW Kearney and 22nd.
Send me the names of your interested customers and I will email them next year..you can bring a van full!
Thanks again..Great blog.
Janet
PS.. Thanks for the ID on the mystery ground cover!
