It is truly spring here in the Pacific Northwest. I have been planting flowers for chabana in my garden for about three years. This year, I am quite happy to say I have been able to pick chabana from my garden every week for okeiko without stealing from my neighbor’s yards.
I used to be driving around and stop and pick flowers by the side of the road or in shopping parking lots, or on the side of industrial parks. I also picked flowers from the sidewalk or in the suburban wilderness park near my home. I still look for flowers in all of these places, but I am enjoying the blooms much closer to home.
