Over 500 articles I have written.
  • Of the over 500 articles, more than 110 are linked directly from this page.
  • Another 100 are linked in my Weed of Month collection here: Weed of the Month articles.
  • An additional 55 articles were published in The Seattle Weekly from 1996 and 1997 linked here: Living City.
  • Over 240 are found on my Plant of the Month web page.
  • And there is a collection of 25 pages of photos of trees that thrive in Maritime Northwest's dry summers here: 2010 Trees of Dry Maritime.


In the long run, as I use my slide scanner, and digital camera, I will illustrate more of these articles, or increase the illustations. Since most of them were originally published with some form of illustration, more than 90 percent have illustrations.i
To make these numerous articles easier for you to access and to benefit from, I intend to Index All, by topic, as well as by common and scientific names. But this project will take me a long time. Please be patient.
