The Spirited Garden – a book review
Photography by Doreen L. Wynga
Written with Lorene Edwards Forkner
This sumptuous book features sixteen gardens in the Pacific Northwest region. Wynga has worked as a photographer for over thirty years. She has worked for Monrovia Nursery since 2004 and her photography has been featured in several books (including one of my personal favorites, The Tapestry Garden).
The gardens included in this book cover a wide range from woodland sanctuaries to lakeside retreats. Each garden is covered in a 14-20 page spread with a brief description followed by gorgeous photos. This is a book to get lost in!
There are several gardens in the Portland area and many which are located in northern Washington.
(I could not find any promotional photos from the book so these shots will have to suffice).
The Spirited Garden is available in book stores. You can also find a copy on Amazon.
Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Rizzoli Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Honey Bee Flower Mixture
Hello!! I have this mix of Honey Bee Flower seeds from Wyatt-Quarles Seed Co. and I had a couple questions about using these in my new permaculture site.
-
Do yal have any experience or thoughts on Wyatt-Quarles as a seed supplier?
-
Would you feel comfortable putting a mix like this into your site? They aren’t natives and some are perennial, but they will be planted in an area that is easily sheet mulched.
-
If you wouldn’t plant these in your plot, what would you do with them?
More Info: We are in zone 6b in the Blue Ridge mountains in VA. The land is completely scraped right now (over zealous contractors).
The mix is a blend of Blanketflower, California Poppy, Cape Forget-Me-Not, China Aster, Chinese Forget-Me-Not, Corn Poppy, French Marigold, Lacy Phacelia, Lance-Leaved Coreopsis, New England Aster, Prairie Coneflower, Purple Giant Hyssop, Purple Prairie Clover, Rocky Mountain Penstemon, Scarlet Cinquefoil, Siberian Wallflower, Sulphur Cosmos, Sweet Basil, Sweet Mignonette and White Upland Aster.

Burying root stock graft (fruit trees)?
Does anyone have experience burying the root stock graft on fruit trees? I would much rather have a vigorous tree that lives longer and produces more fruit and that I can control the height myself with aggressive pruning.
Dwarfing a tree with root stock doesn’t make sense to me from an investment stand point. I’d much rather have a tree take slightly longer to produce fruit and live 100 years than a tree that produces fruit quickly but then dies after 15 or so years. What’s the point if I have to constantly be digging up these semi dwarf trees every 15 years…
Also, it seems like everything is sold as either “semi-dwarf” or “dwarf.” I rarely see nurseries selling full size trees anymore.
Anyways, does anyone have experience with burying the root stock to achieve a full size tree?
Thanks!

Are there any vines that deer don’t eat?
I’ve got light deer pressure on my property. Curious if there’s any edible vines that I can put in an archway that they won’t prefer.
