LAST BATCH OF PHOTOS FROM SEATTLE.....

A few photos I left out from the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle last weekend.....The first photo is an incredibly OOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD t-shirt from KXL radio of when my darling Mike Darcy began his radio show - so many years ago...he looks like a baby! The second photo is Mike's daughter-in-law, the charming Anne, who brought the shirt to share with us all at the show - and give us all a huge laugh!

The last three shots are of Mike Darcy interviewing the legendary garden dude, Ed Hume, for his radio show! It was a real honor to get to meet Mr. Hume....total garden hero!

I even got to be a little bit of radio filler on Saturday! Mike had an extra few minutes on his show - so he was kind enough to put me on the air and ask about some of the trends I have been following in the garden furnishings/fabrics/color world - from all of the design shows we have attended recently. What a treat! It is such fun to be on his show..........

Be sure and tune in to Mikes show every Saturday morning from 9-12. There is so much to learn from him......

Well, that's it for now........

Love that Mike Darcy!!!

Thanks Mikey for letting me be on your radio show this morning! And thanks to your lovely wife, Miss Linda for a terrific lunch date! You guys are the best!!!!

Love this chief Joseph pine....

MUST HAVE! The yellow fall/winter color is amazing. 15 feet in 30 years and only 10 feet wide - perfect for the smaller garden...

I'm just getting ready to go on the radio at 10:45 with the amazing Mike Darcy of KXL Radio AM 750.....YIPPEE!!!!!! Tune in if you can.....

YIPPEE!!!!! It's the Yard, Garden & Patio Show!

It's that time of year again - Thank God!!!!!! Today was the start of the Yard, Garden & Patio Show at the Oregon Convention Center. I was DYING to get over there to hear Dan Hinkley - DAN HINKLEY! - speak - but I had client appointments and could not make it...not so for tomorrow - I am heading over there bright and early to take a quick run about the place and then I am lucky enough to have been invited by my darling Mike Darcy to be on his radio show at 10:45 on KXL Radio - AM 750. YIPPEE!!! I love that man......and being on his show is a total blast.....so come down and get a seat during his show or show up at 12 to see Dan Hinkley speak about Tree, Vines and Shrubs - he is indeed the master - and then hang around to see Mike Darcy and Kym Pokorny o the Oregonian talk about " a few of their favorite plants" at 3! All in all, a delightful gardening day will be had - prepare to shop, look and listen!!!!!
