While I’m still working on the layout, there’s no reason why I can’t post some content. My friend Keren and I went up to the SF Botanical Gardens for their plant sale earlier in the month. I took my SLR to do some photography while we were there. Though I can garden year round in Northern California, the budding magnolias are an optimistic sign of spring!

Also, hello folks from Gardening Gone Wild. This is my entry into this month’s “Picture This” contest.

    ditto. I have a “tulip” magnolia in my yard. Hope it is still alive after 2 years of drought and heat. Did not do well last year. I will live spring through your bloom. Thanks.
