		<title>Still Shining</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one for the flower-lovers (you know who you are, and aren&#8217;t).
A year or so ago, a simple raised bed appeared in the parking strip a few blocks from my house. Good soil went in, things were planted, I didn&#8217;t go past for a while, but when I was out for a walk the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2908&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What a Hoot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I looked down at a leaf on the playground the other day after a rainstorm (another one with wildly intense winds is raging at the moment, howling down the chimney and making me wish I&#8217;d taken more and better photos of fall tree foliage, since tomorrow I imagine everything will be on the ground!) and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2901&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Last Handful of Strawberries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our early fall in Seattle was lovely &#8211; warm, sunny days and cool nights, perfect for easing the garden gently into its winter lull while preserving some of the most stunning colors and extending the food crops just a bit longer. My fall harvest of raspberries was even more pathetic than the spring one, so [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2884&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fence Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Want to dress up your fence or gate? Just hang a glass jar or tin can as an impromptu flower vase, as this Seattle gardener did, fill it with flowers and greens, and give the passers-by a lift:

Bonus points for a carefully balanced pile of perfectly lusciously rounded apples (maybe they became &#8220;art&#8221; due to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2889&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why I Keep the Asters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The asters that reseed vigorously in my parking strip garden are tall, leggy, often in the wrong place and prone to rust late in the season. But I keep them anyway. Do you know why?

Here&#8217;s another look:

Yes, for the bees. Most of the blossoms are gone by now (these photos were taken back in late [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2877&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Calling All SAGBUTTs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 1pm this Sunday, October 18, Aerie-el of Gardener&#8217;s Roost has graciously arranged for a docent-led tour of the Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley, WA. We are spoiled here &#8211; so many amazing public gardens to see even within the city limits of Seattle that I&#8217;m ashamed to say I hadn&#8217;t even heard of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2870&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Windflower Farm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Green Lake area of Seattle is swamped on sunny days by folks from all over the city, who come to walk, jog, bike or skate the lake&#8217;s 3+ mi. loop, enjoy its ample playground, or go for the goals on its many soccer fields. Houses are spiffy but street gardens are fairly scarce, probably [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2858&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Freeway-side Gardening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often, the urge to garden in the city despite lack of an ideal site is just overwhelming. Waits for P-patch slots can be years-long, so sometimes people just get out their shovels and dig wherever they can, whatever the challenges may be.
A few years ago, I saw a guy working on a steep, brush-covered hillside [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greenwalks.wordpress.com&blog=4458259&post=2848&subd=greenwalks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
