Passion for Primroses

Home and Garden Journal

The Primrose, Homegrown in Oregon. Did you know that Oregon was once world famous for its primroses? We tend to think of primroses as a Victorian plant from England. After all, the Victorians really were the “prim-est” of the prim, well… besides the puritans. Anyway, the primrose was a pretty boring flower until 1638. That’s … Read More

  • Plants- After a Cold Spell

    Portland Tribune Column

    Cold Weather Plants Anne Jaeger   “Going, going, gone.” Well, maybe not yet. You’ve got to have faith that it’s still too soon to tell how bad the cold snap zapped our precious plants. I know I’ve lost some of my favorites, but I’ll be darned if I’m going to give up hope of a … Read More

Another great gardening season is winding down. All it took was a little bit of rain to flip the switch and before you know it, we’ve shifted our … Read More

  • Fall is for Foliage

    Portland Tribune Column

    Anne Jaeger Fall is for foliage; that high falutin’ gardening word for “leaves”. But remember, leaves don’t have to leave us in the winter. In other words, the foliage doesn’t have to fall off in fall. One of my all time favorite pots is filled with plants that sparkle all winter long. Nothing like looking … Read More
