Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it. When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed. ~Lewis Gannit
In that second picture, are those the orange euphorbias that have been a recent topic of conversation around here in Portland? We've been debating which ones we might be able to grow which aren't completely invasive. I found one in my own yard, this is the first year it's blooming. I'm waiting to see how far it has spread next year before I judge it.
@Mike, yes! It's been there for years on Mary Hill rd. Just up a block or two from the La cross box in between some houses.@Megan I wasn't sure what it was, thanks! It was beautiful! Unique blooms with stunning foliage! I hope yours does well!@Aerelonian I'm sure there is! The lower mainland has plenty of community gardens tucked in here and there. In fact Ive heard rumor of a teaching garden to possibly open up across the street from my local community garden. So you could say the idea is still growing 🙂

Very nice! I absolutely love community gardens. I should check to see if there are any in my soon to be area.
