		<title>Wishing You A Reindeer&#8217;s Rest on Dec. 25</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They must be pretty tired today, those sky-striders. So is anyone else who has been scurrying around getting stuff ready for the big day, if they celebrate Christmas in any secular or sacred way. 
Best wishes to all and hope there is time to relax in this season that can overtake us all with too [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=3008&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>PlanTV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post on nestmaker made me start looking more closely at plant images in feature films and TV that we watch. Hope I am not breaking too many copyright laws here, and sorry for the poor-quality images. 
Disney&#8217;s &#8220;Jungle Book&#8221; is full of tropical flora. Whether or not it is accurately rendered, that&#8217;s for someone [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=3004&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New But Not Necessarily Improved</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since my family is a little bit apple-crazy, I figure I have to try just about any named apple variety I can lay my hands on. Farmers markets and orchard stands are of course the best places to find unusual varieties, but every once in a while something new pops up in the grocery store.
Last [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2992&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Winter&#8217;s Late Arrival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seattle&#8217;s fall was warm and wet, with way more rain in the month of November than is normal. I am trying to wrap my head around winter now that it is here for real, and although I should have known it was coming, I didn&#8217;t really get the garden ready. 
So, new phormium and fig, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2978&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Duck at Dusk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you look closely, you can see a glint of orange near the bottom center of the picture. There were some really impressive carp in this pond, near the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park. They seemed to get along fine with the mallards, who are vegetarians as far as I know (and who [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2982&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s Something About Street Trees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I seem to be on a tree kick here so maybe I will just keep it going&#8230;
Garden Rant had an invitation to discuss thoughts on street tree policy here. Lots of comments! People feel strongly about their streets and trees, go figure.
Local Ecologist blogger Georgia writes from NYC now, she always has great insights about [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2965&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Nutty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After our witch hazel (Hamamelis X intermedia &#8216;Jelena&#8217;)&#8217;s leaves do their spectacular fall color thing and then turn to a crispy brown carpet for the winter, there&#8217;s not much to look at until the tree puts out its fragrant red-orange flowers around January. Not that I&#8217;m complaining! To only have a few months of boring-ness [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2958&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Ravages of Wind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, Seattle was ripped by a series of powerful wind storms. Still nothing to match our legendary Hanukkah Eve blowout of 2006, when everything from telephone poles to Douglas firs went belly-up overnight, but still some pretty strong gusts that knocked out power and did some damage to the unsteadier trees.
Just up [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2948&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Another Unknown Volunteer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Leave enough empty space in the garden and interesting things start to show up. I have refrained from completely filling up my parking strip once it was cleared of St. John&#8217;s Wort, partly due to cheapness and also just to see what would come to grow here. Allowing nature to fill in the empty spots [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2940&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Late-Autumn Pursuits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(AKA what I have been up to instead of gardening, blogging, or reading garden blogs, all three of which I wish I had more time for at the moment&#8230;)
Here in Seattle, it&#8217;s almost unrelentingly horrid out &#8211; storm system after storm system rips through, often bringing heavy rains and high winds. Flood levels are rising, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2925&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
