So how about it?  Does anyone want to come check out my garden in exchange for a visit to yours?  I have a small garden full of edible/medicinal plants well-mulched with mostly straw that's been going a few years now and starting to really fill up and become more lively.  It's mostly shaded by a large apple tree, a dogwood, and an english laurel hedge so I feel proud at how full I have managed to get it.  This is not to mention 3-4 years ago the whole garden was under tarps getting pummeled and compacted by the rain.

The way I figure the more gardens I see around here the better.  It follows also that the more people I talk to about their gardens the better.  Whether you've got a big garden or small, long-time gardener or not, we might both benefit from talking about them together and making visits

Hi Nathan,
I could probably do that, depending on where you live. I live on the west side of Portland near Beaverton. I mostly have fruit trees and bushes, but I've got a lot of perennial and self seeding vegies, herbs and flowers too.

Sure, I'll swap garden visits. I'm in SW Portland.  I'm new to gardening and permie, but am working feverishly on my yard and have a vision! Not sure how to contact through this forum; can email me at NurseBrian@gmail.com
