Notes from a gardener named Oddie

I’m not a trained gardener, nor have I studied horticulture — just someone who fell in love with tending soil here in the misty Pacific Northwest. Over time, I’ve planted, pruned, and occasionally failed spectacularly, learning more from the stubborn plants than the thriving ones. This page is a place to record those lessons — the successes and the missteps — so I can return to them later, and perhaps help others avoid the same pitfalls. It’s also where I share the small discoveries, curiosities, and quiet reflections that make gardening here such a joy.
