"Garden Bliss" is a name I love, but the domain was not available and it didn't match my old Blogger URL, "sacgardening.blogspot.com". I've made the leap to a self-hosted <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> blog. I'm having a blast learning WordPress!<br />

It's still very much a work in progress, but you might want to start following me there since all new posts will be at Digging Bliss. I will be adding a custom header, more content and ways to interact, even recipes in a printer-friendly format!<br />
<br />
Blogger has been a wonderful, FREE blog host, and I highly recommend Blogger for beginning or frugal-minded bloggers. WordPress is something I wanted to try because I wanted to have more creative control over my blog and I wanted my blog to be more "responsive". That means it will look good whether you're viewing it on a computer, a tablet or e-reader, or a smart phone.<br />

I've had these Flora Grubb <a href="http://shop.floragrubb.com/thigmotrope-satellite-fleet/" target="_blank">Thigmatrope Satellite Fleet</a> air plant holders on my mental wish list since the first time I saw them online. This is the most clever, ingenious, slightly rustic, simple, elegant, artistic way to display air plants on a wall. At fifteen bucks a pop, I didn't immediately order seven of them. I went through my usual internal dialogue--<br />

Fifteen dollars? Each?! I wonder if I could make them. No. Who do I know who could make these for me? Elliot. Who do I know who would actually do it? No one. They really are clever. And somebody <i>did</i> already make them. Fifteen dollars really isn't so bad and they'll last forever. And here they are. And I'm only going to get three for now.</blockquote>
During my first visit to Flora Grubb on Friday, I decided that if I was going to buy anything, it should be a few of these, with an air plant for each. Perusing the air plants is half the fun.<br />

In fact, there was a man in front of me in line who was already being rung up and when he saw the three air plants I had agonized over and finally selected, he turned to me saying,"Where did you get those?" and asked to get out of line. He came back with several red Tillandsias after seeing a red one I had picked out.<br />
<br />
What I love about the Thigmatrope besides its simple design is that it allows the plants to face you head on, magically suspended on your wall. The effect is really quite striking. The design also allows you to easily remove the plants for their weekly bath.<br />

I made my first visit to <a href="http://www.floragrubb.com/idx/index.php" target="_blank">Flora Grubb Gardens</a> yesterday, a San Francisco garden shop I've admired online for years. It's wonderful, and exceeded my expectations in terms of overall fabulousness. Flora Grubb was our last stop of the day before heading home to Sacramento, and the timing was almost perfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Except for <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/ritual-coffee-roasters-san-francisco-3" target="_blank">Ritual Coffee Roasters</a> being closed for the day, we happened to visit in the last hour before closing time. They were "un-crowded" enough for us to enjoy the park-like peacefulness and the opportunity to explore all parts of the nursery, from the outdoor garden vignettes with color-coordinated plants, pots and furniture, to the napping nursery cat, to all the cool, clever and useful supplies inside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is air plant heaven, succulent heaven, junk art heaven, garden furniture heaven, and nursery + cafe heaven. We even experienced parking heaven as I was able to pull my Honda into a spot right out front. After a day of parking dramas and dodging buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, it felt somewhat decadent to be able to park... for free... at the entrance.</div>

I first tried downloading it to my iPhone 4S, but apparently, I lack sufficient storage on my phone. It'll probably work and fit better when I upgrade to the iPhone 5 with more storage. It did download to my iPad and from what I can see so far, it's going to be a useful tool at my nursery job and at home. You can search, highlight, take notes, bookmark plants, and there are features that are included in the app that are not in the book.<br />
<br />
The app is also compatible with PC and Mac, and includes bonus content such as regional gardening calendars and Inkling-only plant listings. Not to mention, you can share WGB plant entries by e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and a simple hyperlink. This makes me positively giddy.<br />

I was pretty burnt-out on garden blogging and felt like I'd never go back to it because there are simply too many blogs out there on gardening, yoga, cats, cooking, politics, etc., and really, who cares, and what the hell do I have to say about anything anyway, in my now-tiny yard and rental house? When I had a kick ass garden and a lot more free time, blogging was an easy outlet for me. Around the time I fled the big house and garden, Facebook came along replaced the enjoyably distant connectedness that my blog had provided me.<br />
<br />
Facebook is still fun, but I can't seem to quiet that nagging voice in the back of my head saying, "Hey, why are you making <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/06/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerb_0_n_565851.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mr. "<i>I'm CEO, Bitch</i>!" Zuckerberg</a> even richer by giving him your words, your friends and family, and your photos?" After happening upon a superb food blog, <a href="http://pinchofyum.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Pinch of Yum</i></a>, it got me thinking about going back to blogging. I'm a decent writer, a decent photographer with Photoshop skills, and I am passionate not just about gardening, but food and homemaking and entertaining and humor and integrity and love and run-on sentences, and, yes, goofy animals and... about every four years... I throw in a liberally biased post or two because I'm preoccupied with the election (Yay, Obama!). :-))<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But I need to focus. I struggle with being a smidge ADD/OCD/LAZY and go through extended periods where I am obsessed with gardening, exercising, or finding the perfect refrigerator, or work, or kid drama (x3), or ex drama (x2), or granite countertops, or finding the perfect enchilada casserole recipe that is easy, tasty, and doesn't contain ingredients that Kim, my fiance, hates. The list of foods Kim hates begins with cream cheese, sour cream, onions, and goes on and on. But, I digress. Back to my mind, and blogging.<br />
<br />
My mind is like a deluxe hamster cage complete with wheel, travel tubes and bars, which my mind rattles in an attempt to escape at night while struggling to fall asleep. It was the enchilada casserole recipe that brought my thoughts back to blogging, which brought me back here. Do you see the vicious cycle that is my thought process? The enchilada casserole was delicious, which I feel adds substance to everything I'm saying here.<br />

So now I need to figure out how I can blog about all the things I love in a cohesive manner. There's got to be a way to tie it all together in a clever package. If something comes to me, I may explore how to create such a blog, and how to migrate my old posts, and my life, into something that makes sense. Onward!Angela Pratthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01343591073737590979noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257345.post-32889136304241403602012-08-17T14:34:00.001-07:002012-08-17T15:04:00.855-07:00A welcome lullThursday is my "nursery day", as in the only day I work at Talini's these days. During summer, the nursery is extremely busy, often sprouting a line of Radio Flyer wagon-toting customers out the back door. We are fully staffed during that time, so it's manageable. Ish.<br />
<br />
Heading into midsummer, there's an expected lull and we pare down staff. It's not a fun transition for me because it takes awhile for staffing to match the lull. Meanwhile, I run around like a chicken with its head cut off, which for me is not a pleasant sensation. Especially when it's 106 degrees F. <br />
<br />
Phones go unanswered... plants wilt (No, not at Talini's!) ... And I don't get to enjoy the more tranquil and creative aspects of nursery work. Just when it starts to get to me, the lull truly arrives and I can squeeze in more of what I feel like doing instead of what must be done. <br />
<br />
Yesterday was the first of those days for me this season. <br />

<br />
But the truest sign of a mellower pace... I got to make a couple basket planters. Ahhhhh....<br />
<br />

<br />
Life, which is so much about balance, is good again, even if just for a day. It's so much easier to achieve balance with your head firmly attached to the rest of your body.<br />
<br />
In these moments, I can finally stand still long enough to appreciate the gentle push of a Delta breeze, hinting at milder weather and quieter moments ahead.<br />

I thought I'd be afforded some degree of stability in my current house in East Sacramento, to which I moved three years ago. Three years isn't bad, but plans changed.<br />
<br />

<br />
The divorce that brought me to this house as a middle aged woman was soon followed not by 10 cats, but the boyfriend. Who knew?!!! The boyfriend soon became the fiance. Still is! My one and his two kids are grown or nearly so, so we could make this little 2 br/1 ba 744 sq. ft. "dollhouse" work for the two of us. Except we are not dolls. And we've grown accustomed to things like cupboards... and dining rooms. By Manhattan apartment standards, I suppose this place is huge, but one of the benefits of living in Sacramento is affordability and spaciousness of housing. That game room and exercise room we've talked about is not just crazy talk to a Sacramentan.<br />
<br />
I was initially very excited about the prospect of tending every square inch of this little urban property, but when my initial euphoria wore off and circumstances steered me toward remaining a renter instead of buying the place like I'd planned, I found myself not wanting to garden here. At all. Goodbye garden mojo.<br />
<br />
When you don't know how long you'll be in a home but want to garden, the notion of growing everything in pots becomes the next logical coping mechanism. Having done the pot thing before in this hot-summer climate where
containers often require water twice a day from July-September... I
ended up on a gardening strike instead.<br />
<br />
The strike felt right for this home & garden limbo state I'd found
myself floating around in. The problem is, I'd get swept up in a
momentary urge to plant, but it often came at the wrong time. Like last
spring, when I wasn't going to plant a summer veggie garden. Then did.
Too late. I got nada for my efforts.<br />
<br />
Thinking I'd be in my "real home"
by now, I almost didn't plant a summer garden this year. But the
seasonal urge struck at the right time, and I
was realizing that I might be in this house longer than I'd anticipated since my man and I had several logistical hurdles to jump before we'd be able to start house hunting. I'm happy to report I got my tomatoes in. Tomatoes were followed by 'Gold Rush' zucchini, a few peppers, and most recently, cucumbers and Chinese long beans. I know! Root city, right?! I'm done planting veggies, as far as I know today.<br />

Being a renter also means I can't prune or... God forbid... <i>cut down</i> the giant sycamore raining twigs and pollen on my morning-light-robbed backyard. So I garden where I can. Even if it's also where I park my car.<br />
<br />
Nor can I get rid of the ankle-breaking chunky bark surrounding the backyard tree. And there will be no tearing up the patch of driveway preventing me from screening my backyard from the neighbor whose windows peer into my yard.<br />

The City of Sacramento unanimously approved the right for City residents
to keep up to three backyard chickens. Hens, to be exact. No
cockadoodledoos. And at my workplace, Talini's Nursery, we just
started carrying these wonderful, embellished chicken coops made by Greg
and Brian at Two Flew the Coop. <br />

When a man gives you a <span style="font-style: italic;">rose bush</span> (pictured above) on your first date... you might be a goner.]</span><br /><br />It's been a year since I posted about my pending divorce and cross-town move. It's amazing how much has changed during that time, and how much hasn't. I think I put the T in Transition, because I didn't exactly delve into gardening at the new house like I thought I would.<br /><br />First things first. Like my sanity. A little peace. Furniture, which I still don't have. Finding a new groove with my teenage son every two weeks for two weeks at a time. A new (and very important) relationship.<br /><br />In 2009, I "lost" a husband of twenty years and two cats. The eldest of the two cats just passed away at nearly twenty-one years old. I'd had her for the entire length of the marriage. I do miss that cat.<br /><br />In the last year, I blogged very little and Tweeted halfheartedly before deciding I hated Twitter. I did, however, do<span style="font-style: italic;"> a lot </span>of Facebooking. I loves me some Facebook. And gardeners are on there chattering away, posting pics and inspiring others the way blogs had in the past. And nurseries and garden shows are starting Fan pages on Facebook, so it's getting easier to keep up with the latest.<br /><br />Will I continue to blog? Maybe. Maybe not. I do love being able to search my blog when I'm trying to remember something I planted or what time of year a certain plant bloomed, etc. And connecting with kindred spirits is an important element of blogging; Otherwise, why don't I just keep a plant diary, right? Note to kindred spirits: Find me on Facebook in case I ditch the blog.<br /><br />So many more gardeners are blogging now, and it's hard to keep up. I abandoned the notion of adding more blogs to my blog's sidebar. There. Are. Too. Many. Again, Facebook can be a time saver in the sense that you aren't obliged to post anything but you can still keep in touch with friends far and near. And meet new ones in that weird past meets the present, Friends of Friends Facebookey way.<br /><br />The downside to Facebook is that it isn't archived or searchable or editable. Argh! Not good when you want to find dated posts and photos. But you can play Scrabble with your friends and loved ones! Super fun!<br /><br />And you can share articles and YouTube clips, not just on gardening, but on anything that floats your boat. Wanna make fun of Tiger Woods? Go for it. Want the latest news from all your favorite news sources? Look at your Wall. And, you know, good old garden talk too. It's all good.<br /><br />Life continues to shift between peace and chaos, and in those moments of peace I finally feel the urge to garden again. Working part-time at the cutest little ol' nursery in town has definitely helped to reawaken my enthusiasm for plants. And the fact that it's Spring.<br /><br />Time to bask in sunshine and to plant flowers and tomatoes and basil and those yellow zucchinis I love so much. And time to to yank out those God-awful Home Depot plants the sellers put in and replace them with cool stuff.<br /><br />I also intend to buy a gas grill this summer.
