New Yard

So it may be a rental, but it does have a garden area. Looks like I have decided to take the more expensive place, but I will have room to vegetable garden and I will have plenty of space to keep my Bonsai's. The only real downfall of the 'mature landscaping' is it has massive junipers and rhododendrons. Not particularly my favorite, and I will not have much option on how the yard looks...it does have two fireplaces and a great kitchen ( I GET GAS!!!). Good news is the side of the house that has the veggy patch is in FULL sun, so I may be one of the only people who has ever had success with tomatoes in the Seattle area! If I get this house, I will so be taking pictures! Maybe I will be able to talk them into letting me plant one of my Japanese Maple Bonsai's...set it at FREE, it would be such a boon to a yard as 'simple' as this one is, at this time.

Northwest Garden Show

Everything green and growing! I loves all kinds of plants, trees and flowers. Right after the holidays I went and bought a whole bunch of exotic seeds to start her own. I love to bonsai as well. So I got tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show.

I had a really great time! I was there for most of Saturday, ooohing and aaahing over everything there. I bought two bonsai trees (one Japanese Elm and one cotoneaster ) and some lavender and lemon grass products (soap and body spray, yum!). I took a ton of pictures, here are a few of my favorites...
