Good luck with getting it to grow where you like it!<BR/><BR/>======================<BR/>Sue, I'll be interested to hear if you can grow moss there. I'm guessing it's not in your lawn! <BR/>We had SLEET this morning. AND they're predicting snow this weekend. What's up with this topsy-turvy weather anyway?<BR/><BR/>=======================<BR/>Lona, Scottish roots on one side of the family figured heavily in our going to Scotland, and we feel very fortunate to have been able to do that. Hope you can visit there &/or Ireland someday!<BR/><BR/>=========================<BR/>Sherry, your daughter's place sounds lovely. Portland has so many wonderful gardens. We went there for a weekend and visited 3 gardens in 2 days. It was a dream weekend :) Enjoy your next visit!<BR/><BR/>==<BR/><BR/>~Aerie-elKit Aerie-elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548961699994971020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-2265924709761805252009-03-05T10:12:00.000-08:002009-03-05T10:12:00.000-08:00Aerie-elI so love moss and believe it or not I hav...Aerie-el<BR/>I so love moss and believe it or not I have a very nice clump on my terrace in SF. In fact my post for tomorrow has a picture of it. And in Fort Bragg, there's moss everywhere except where I want it -between the irregularly shaped slate slabs on my front walkway. I'm trying to figure it out. Any ideas??

I love it amongst my beds and gardening decor. It makes things look ancient or that they have been there forever.I saw at the garden show that many of the stone walls and walkways had moss in the cracks to make them look older and with the new stacked stones to fill the cracks. Scotland and Ireland are two of the places I would love to visit. You are so lucky to visit Scotland.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-21677379594778681662009-03-04T19:10:00.000-08:002009-03-04T19:10:00.000-08:00I don't think we have much moss here, but I could ...I don't think we have much moss here, but I could be wrong. I think I remember my son seeing some somewhere, and liking it. I'll have to look into it. I bet there are lots of different kinds that grow in specific areas. I guess I have seen it on trees.

Sadly it is not frequent in the garden, but a cataract trail I walk every week has wonderful woodland areas, complete with an abundance of moss. I am hoping that I can get some to grow and cover the stepping stones in the shaded garden. Awesome post!

I've noticed that when the weather is damp, the moss is bright green. But during our dry spells, it fades to an insipid non-color. When the humidity returns, so does the color. I have moss growing on my hyper tuffa troughs now. It took a while but moss is like that, isn't it? I love the look of antiquity. Moss is my friend. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-24908652613232857372009-03-03T18:08:00.000-08:002009-03-03T18:08:00.000-08:00I love moss too - well maybe not in my flower pots...I love moss too - well maybe not in my flower pots. That looks like a great outing. I took the tour and it is beautiful. It reminds me of growing up on the Olympic Peninsula and I always wondered where my parents use to take us and all I could remember was trees with moss hanging off of them. So I asked my parents where that was and we got to go back there a couple of years ago. It's out of Hoquiam towards Forks. Absolutely beautiful.<BR/>I think my next outing might be The Kubota Gardens in Seattle. I just read about them and have already asked a friend if she'd like to do that.<BR/>This has been fun and I've already added you to my Washington Garden Blog list.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-70699971714705860202009-03-03T17:29:00.000-08:002009-03-03T17:29:00.000-08:00As I was reading this, I was picturing the Bloedel...As I was reading this, I was picturing the Bloedel Reserve Moss garden.... so it was great to see it appear in the post as I continued along.
