Check out my Wet Nature Fun in the Santa Monica Mountains vlog just uploaded! I know it’s Oscar night, but can you spare seven minutes for Part 1? Part 2 is finished and I will upload it in the morning. I wanted to check out the water rushing down the canyon after the deadly Los Angeles […]
On the Beaten Path: Great Falls Park – I started my adult life in Washington, D.C. working on Capitol Hill for a U.S. Senator and still have friends in the area. I love to return there and marvel at the natural and man-made wonders from time to time. During a recent visit, I dropped into […]

It had quite a lot of blooms in the spring, but, it’s September, and, though carrying two dozen lemons, the leaves don’t look so well. I recently gave it more iron, organic plant food, alfalfa meal, […]
Aphids and Planting with Linden: I started at seven A.M, hand-watering. When it’s quiet out, and you take a good look at how things are in the garden, you get drawn in. First, I tidied up my tomato and watermelon vines (it seems there’s more of that to do every day now with the summer […]
