There is a big privacy fence between our gardens. I don't know how they carry their heavy load over here. <br />Fun seeing your neighborhood with all the different fencing and plantings.<br />I am truly amazed at the city protecting trees. Bravo.

I passed one of those knock down sites today and was horrified to see a huge pile of bull dozed tree trunks and branches piled in the corner. Thankfully your city officials see the value in protecting trees. luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-92205286267793753562020-08-27T19:47:56.085-07:002020-08-27T19:47:56.085-07:00Probably crows or ravensProbably crows or ravensluv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-39692330055571579682020-08-27T16:46:58.179-07:002020-08-27T16:46:58.179-07:00I like the fence in the first garden– open and air...I like the fence in the first garden– open and airy, but an attractive boundary. I cut seeded sunflowers to reduce the weight on the plant and stick them in a fence in the garden, too. The birds are all over them. It's funny that critters steal the heads to eat in privacy and dump them in your garden, ha!Eliza Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879335295393594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-85101266998653413132020-08-27T14:24:23.542-07:002020-08-27T14:24:23.542-07:00Definitely enjoyed the walk.

Right now, it looks creaky and hostile together; but there is an idea in there. Love the invitation to wait until the fruit is ripe before picking. And the tree root protection. I hope some gardeners move in there, or children to climb the tree. Of course the victory garden is charming, but also the garden you were invited to visit, which is simply lovely in a quiet way. I hope you can venture inside another time.balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-30528059922934486772020-08-27T12:15:43.808-07:002020-08-27T12:15:43.808-07:00I enjoyed following you on this walk.

The pumpkin sling is cute and, living in a city where trees can be sacrificed to "view conservation," I was VERY impressed that Portland takes action in protecting tree roots at construction sites. I'll be interested to see what that metal/wood hybrid fence looks like when it's done too, although I can't say I'm on board based on first sight.<br /><br />Your photo of the wonderful carpet of Muelenbeckia sent me outside to check the status of the plugs I planted along one section of shady slope last fall. It looked great this spring but, as the area is tucked away, I hadn't paid it any attention at all since spring. Sadly, it'd been swamped by the ever-ambitious ivy so I got a half hour of work in pulling some of that out before sweat started pouring down into my eyes. Another cleanup project for the list!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-90322011104931092132020-08-27T10:40:23.050-07:002020-08-27T10:40:23.050-07:00Walking the neighborhood is the best cure for cabi...Walking the neighborhood is the best cure for cabin fever. I do it multiple times a week, thanks for taking us along. <br />The pumpkin sling adorable! Note to self: plant sun flowers! I missed it again this year; I love those massive seed heads, even though squirrels and birds get to them first. <br />At first glance I thought the shiny galvanized fence was a construction sight... gladly, it's not next door to me.<br />Any idea which Hebe it is you were pointing out as 'Cousin Itt' replacement?chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.com
