Not only had we been looking forward to having dinner with Todd at Dave and Melissa’s place in Oysterville, but I had been eagerly anticipating meeting their chicken flock, petting their dogs, and seeing what progress they’ve made on their garden. It can be so tough to find time for one’s own garden when one does gardening for a living, as they do with their Sea Star Gardening business. They had made good progress since our last visit.
The only drawback to this wonderful landscape by woods and wetlands is that the mosquitos are fierce.
When Todd arrived, Allan walked all around again. I stayed in for that part of the tour and admired the window views.
After garden touring, we repaired indoors for a delicious dinner by Chef Dave.
A friend had given Melissa, this vintage book, which brings back memories of reading ALL of Marguerite Henry as a horse crazy city girl.
After dinner, the dogs, both Hovawarts, joined us.
The best thing in the past year has been becoming friends with these three gardeners, Melissa and Dave and Todd.
Beautiful garden! I love our NW gardens. Cute dog, too. Thank you for sharing, Skyler.

The mosquitoes are a real drawback to a lovely spot.

What a grand new friendship with three incredible gardeners. I fear the mosquitos were getting ready to carry you away. The garden looks extraordinary even now with the pots of plants showing future placement.
