Absent, but still...

This weekend I didn't see the garden once - for the first time in over a year (vacations aside) because I was driving around looking at horses for sale. My other hobby, if you can imagine me having time for one!

However, two garden-related things did happen.

For starters, I got my first copy of the glossy West-coast gardening magazine Pacifica Horticulture in the mail, courtesy of my parents (Happy Holidays to me!) This alone was a treat, as it's a great read for plant lovers, with fantastic photography.

Secondly, I got an email from Gary's brother, Steve, congratulating me on (drumroll please) an article about P. garden that has appeared in that fine publication! I admit this is not a total surprise because our very own Josh wrote the article, and tipped me off a while back, and naturally I turned to that article immediately when I got the mag. But what was amazing was the lovely photos he added to the article which make the garden look so good. You'll have to order a copy (or subscribe!) to read the full story and see the pics, but an excerpt is at the link above.

Thanks Josh, and Pacific Horticulture!
