Super Sage: Salvia iodantha
Super Sage: Salvia iodantha
When we moved back to California after a year in Wisconsin, I added Salvias to the list of plants I collect. Pelargoniums, Euphorbias, Fuchsias and Sansevierias are all on the list. If you want hummingbirds to fight over your garden all winter long Salvia iodantha is it. It’s also on my top 5 favorite plants growing in the backyard right now list. It’s hard to believe this little strip of dirt…

Best Indoor Succulents
I’m not one to usually post other people’s stuff, but when Uncommon Goods asked me if I’d post their indoor succulent infographic I checked it out and it’s legit. I’ve also been a huge fan of Uncommon Goods and their cool stuff for many years. Above is a little view of my strange indoor collection that sits on our sunny kitchen windowsill. The Adromischus in middle has been with us since we lived…

Melianthus and Friends
We got to start our garden from scratch at our Bayview rental, so I went a little crazier with plants that get big fast. Our neighbor’s yards are not as nice as ours (that’s being very kind), so blocking out all bits of their yards is the end goal. Planting the Melianthus next to the stairs may not have been a great choice but I still love it, whiteflies and all. I do wish I could have gotten my…

Succulents in the Gutter
Succulents in the Gutter
A few months back I begged Matti to build me gutter gardens, so I could produce mass quantities of strawberries, lettuce and other edibles. As soon as summer (the rain free time here SF) arrived I got sick of watering it, ripped everything out and planted succulents. I could have set up irrigation… we have a line near the gutters, but I had recently ripped apart a couple of containers and had a…

Our Bayview Backyard
We’ve been gardening at our rental here in the sunny Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco for over two years and things are starting to get big. When we moved in there was nothing except bare dirt. Thankfully the folks flipping the house set up irrigation with a timer, so we didn’t have to mess with that. I love our Ceiba speciosa tree planted in a big container. It’s grown fast with my fairly…

Tim's Tillandsias and Lithops
Tim’s Tillandsias and Lithops
Yesterday I blogged about Tim’s rad butterfly world, but check out his sweet deck greenhouse of Tillandsia insanity! Not sure what this guy is, but it’s popping a flower. The butt cheeks of the plant world: Lithops. They’re fun, but don’t water them until they really look like they need it. Lithops are relatively easy to start from seed. There’s some good info here about going about it along with…

Timtastic's Fantastic Butterflies!!!
It’s been forever since we blogged, but we’re going to take a stab at doing it again on a somewhat regular basis. I still have plenty to say about plants. Last April we had the honor of visiting our friend Tim’s magical butterfly world. Tim has since become butterfly internet famous, and we’re so proud. Right before we moved back to Wisconsin over 4 years ago, Tim (a total stranger at the time)…

Fuchsia hartwegii
Things are looking pretty bloomy over at the SF Botanical Garden right now. Yesterday I blogged about the aloes going crazy, but the fuchsias are freaking out all over the place too. I’m a big fuchsia fan. We have to have at least six in our new garden.
Fuchsia cinerea
I tend to stay away from the super floofy fuchsias, but this one is just a wee bit floofy. I kind of want it.

It’s that magical time of the year when all the giant clumps of Aloe arborescens are full of flowers. Go to the SF Botanical Garden now to see all this awesomeness.
Cool coral Aloe arborenscens
I’ve always liked the corally colored guy in the upper succulent garden. The entire garden is looking pretty great right now.

Aeonium fun fest and the greenhouse
We recently spent some time walking around our old neighborhood in Outer Sunset and are absolutely in love with the back garden at General Store. It opened up before we moved, but the back was not nearly as cool then.

Cool Container Town
Containerville on the deck
It’s been a super long time since I’ve blogged, but we’re trying to get back in action again. After losing the battery charger for our DSLR camera for six months it was miraculously found and I took some pics of the backyard recently including the deck. When you are fortunate enough to work for a very nice garden center, sometimes pots get chipped or otherwise…

Hello! It’s been forever since we blogged… LAME. We talk about it, but never seem to get around to it. Check out our Instagram accounts faroutmegan & fofmattifor more recent excitement and tons of Zoe pics. It’s not like we stopped gardening or anything crazy like that. I think our new SF garden is going to be the coolest one so far. I have grand plans for mass photo uploading and blogging…

A couple weeks ago we hopped on MUNI and headed downtown to check out a couple of the Garden Conservancy’s Open Days gardens. Both gardens we visited were by the fantastic Organic Mechanics team of Sean Stout and James Pettigrew, including their own space. The first garden we checked out was at Hotel Mark Twain. These wonderful succulent containers were part of the rooftop…
