If you garden west of the Cascades, you already know this truth: rain isn’t possible to fight—you just have to work with it. Western Washington gardens don’t follow the tidy rules found in seed catalogs or glossy how-to books. They grow sideways, stretch through gray “days” and surprise us when we least expect it. Moss creeps in, slugs test boundaries, and somehow, despite it all, things flourish.
From coastal yards to valleys, gardening here is less about mastery and more about relationships. You observe. You adjust. You shrug, replant, and try again. We’re here to help!
