Catherine’s San Diego Garden in Summer

Hi GPODers!
We spent the last couple days in PA, but today we’re heading out west to check out Catherine Dickerson’s flower-filled SoCal garden.
After moving every 2 years my entire life, we finally settled in San Diego 22 years ago. We live in a gardener’s dream climate, and have been making the most of it.
It’s such a delight to see everyone’s garden photos, and I’ve been wanting to share mine again. Here is our backyard in summer, formerly a basketball court and lawn with 5′ weeds.

My parents made this sun together in 1971. It was fun seeing them have such a good time together! My husband repaired it and my sister and I repainted it last summer. Good for another 50 years! The edge of our rose garden, ringed by volunteer lobelia, is on the right. The bright pink flower in the front left is an in-ground fuchsia that gets about 8′ tall. I grew it from a single sprig. Plants are amazing!
Another in-ground fuchsia. We planted one small plant, and it has spread with enthusiasm!
These tall cineraria (Senecio stellata ‘Giovanna’s Select’, Zones 9–10)from northern California are special treasures. They reseed every year, expanding their

How to Grow Catnip in the Garden and Indoors
My cat has a felt taco cat toy that was scented with catnip a few years ago and she still goes squirrelly whenver I pull it out to give to her. If you have a cat that responds favorably to catnip (apparently not all do), it’s worthwhile to learn how to grow catnip. This perennial herb is incredibly easy to grow from seed and from cuttings. It’s also drought tolerant and not too fussy when it comes to nutrients. Even if you don’t have a cat, catnip is an attractive plant that can be used for its foliage and flowers in cut flower arrangements. Meet the catnip plant A member of the mint family, catnip (Nepeta cataria) originally came from Asia and Europe but is n
