Tomato green house is a productive food jungle this fall. We are drying lavender and dill in the attached potting shed. I will be working with @tonilchristianson to redecorate into a cozy tea house potting shed to enjoy into the fall and winter. We are busy preparing the grounds for an exciting spring season at Ridge Road Farm.

Dad’s pumpkin 2025. He has always enjoyed growing large pumpkins. Currently pulling flowers to keep the plant focusing on growing just one pumpkin for size.

Here’s a few memorable shots from our Family Cruise to Alaska. It was a blast. What a great way to see some Alaskan port towns and beautiful scenery.

Check out our plant key ring inside Tillinghast Postal if you’re curious about the plant selection out front. I got this idea from @bllandscapeswhidbey.

Hydrangea arborescens in bloom at Ridge Road Farm. Anemone will be blooming soon.

Our friends are checking out the new plants.

Shared vegetable plot with our neighbor. Lots of potatoes and onions this year. Artichokes ready for a rainy harvest. Good eating.

This is our second season with this variety and they keep producing all summer long. We picked ours up from @christiansonsnursery this spring.

Our green house is exploding in La Conner. Strawberries, peppers, and tomatoes.

Tomatoes are coming along at Ridge Road Farm

Memorial Day maintenance at the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery.

NW Fruit - Winter Field Day. Fruit tree grafting.

Big rocks and daffodils at the shop. We are building a garden inspired by the natural beauty we are so fortunate to be surrounded by here in the Skagit Valley.

Recap from yesterday with a few of the boys helping me clean the excavator.

The rain cleared just in time for to start a new project today. We will be expanding the width of roughly 200 ft of gravel pathway, digging up and removing a mature bamboo root system, and finishing with some 16”x16” paver staircase landings. Follow along in my story Highlights.

Helping a friend build some shelters for the animals.

Wave wildflower seed and random leafy greens experiment. August 13 update. No supplemental watering. Seeded late spring.

Summer shade and summer flowers. Like walking into another world. Garden by @jeffrey.bale.

Collaboration, determination, and lots of materials allowed us to plant and irrigate this season at the Curtis Trails job. The next phase is to build a terraced raised bed area surrounded by an outcrop of rock at the top of the property.

Curtis Trails planting. Evergreen huckleberry, sword ferns, Oregon grape being added today. Tim Chomiak on the cedar bridge/trellis in progress.

Then and now Miller Landscaping. August 2022 compared to May 2024

Heuchera micrantha calls this boulder home. I’ve been enjoying this native huechera a lot this season. They’ve been propagating under my deck and I have been moving them into my gardens all spring.

Another fun garden we are excited to watch grow and fill out over the coming years. I was excited to add apple trees, blueberries, artichoke, kale, and herbs. Special thanks to Blackbird Landscaping for the amazing paver work.

I made this little mosaic with left over cement from a previous job I did for this customer. I think it’s fun.

We have been asked to remove a lot of lawns lately to make room for gardens and patios.

Asphalt driveway removal. Replacing with compacted gravel. We will also add steel edging around the planting beds to keep mulch from washing into the gravel.
