Gmail has apparently decided that newsletters migrating from Substack to other services (like Buttondown) is suspicious (similar metadata, new sender), and is now routing a bunch of them to my spam folder. YMMV, but it may be worth checking if you're not seeing newsletters you usually get.

Missed y'all while @shawndearn.bsky.social and I were planning/planting a bunch of new gardens! Here's a small taste 🌱 tbh, new plantings are always a bit anticlimactic - many of the bushes pictured will reach 10-20 meters tall within a few years. Fall planting is all about structure & ground cover.

Always happy to help any garden folks looking for a hand from a horticulturist. 🌱

So, oddly enough: most of these you can plant in the next couple of weeks, particularly Hostas will go on deep discount at garden centres.

Top left to right: Stonecrop, Calylophus berlandiari (Square Bud Primrose) Hosta and a Lilly (asiatic) - the nice thing about all these plants is they love to spread out, they have too much mulch at the moment and need some breathing room, think about adding more of each type to add mass to the beds

Top left is a geranium of some sort, top right: Primrose likely, Bottom left: Hosta; bottom right is a sedum

Lovely! yes, Leucanthemum x superbum Mt. Hood
