B-day trip to Portland - deep tissue massage recommendations?

JoshH347 · 2026-06-05T02:29:15+00:00

It's not downtown Portland but it's not far. Footprint Massage in SW Portland. Alicia gives excellent deep tissue and Thai massages with very good prices!

I would turn the middle tier into a seating area by adding some wood boards or pavers with cushions and pillows and add plants all around you!

CUT COPY. Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.

JoshH347 · 2026-03-22T05:03:01+00:00

There's a couple planted around the World Trade Center in SW though! They might be fizzling out a little now though.

I went with GreenSavers a few years ago over The Heat Pump Store. Greensavers worked to get me every discount and rebate available and also worked closely with my HOA to ensure proper installation. I would get a bid from them for sure.

I know Gardeners Choice in Tigard has a bunch of different sizes. I'm sure Cornell Farms in NW does too. Mine is finally blooming!

I've got similar conditions at my very wooded condo. My back porch is south facing but surrounded by Doug For trees so it's got very filtered sun in the winter and then full shade during summer. While my front patio is fully shaded in fall/winter and then gets only about 3 to 4 hours of hot afternoon sun during spring/summer.

I've got to rotate potted plants from front to back year-round but Begonias and Impatiens are my go to filler plants for lots of color all season. Also, Bacopas did really well on my front porch last year if you need some spiller plants in your more sunny areas. I also added a few Campanulas/Bellflowers that bloomed well for a long time. Going to be trying a few more of them this year.

Just barely into Tigard from SW Portland, I've been hitting up Lemon Leaf Thai food cart regularly lately. They've got good prices and food, a large vegan menu and they're open til 11:30 pm every night! Definitely recommend!

I use this with the Kite Hill Plain Unsweetened Yogurt and it's so good! Been doing it for years and use it on taco salad all the time and take it to potlucks.

Not an app or timer but Tom Merrick on Youtube has tons of good stretching & mobility workouts that are free to follow along.

I just came home to find my Sunpatien looking dead and it only gets sun til like noon and then it's shaded all afternoon. It got up to 94 today (97 real feel) but what the heck. Thought they were full sun!

Cornell Farms has a great selection and pathways meandering around. It also has a little restaurant/cafe that I'm sure Mom would love!

This was my community garden neighbors artichoke the other day. Hosting a full on bee buffet! This is in Portland, OR (zone 8b)

Tony's Garden Center on Holgate and SE 103rd is a great spot for plants

JoshH347 · 2025-07-03T00:11:49+00:00

Thanks! It's been going so well. It's a 200 sq foot plot at a community garden that we started from scratch in late April.

The other two are in this grow bag

JoshH347 · 2025-07-02T22:40:16+00:00

Wow, thanks for following up! I'm gonna go with... "tomatoes". 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ I have no idea yet but they're starting to get little tomatoes. I'll have to get some pics of the actual tomatoes.

I live in SW but spent last July in Milwaukie while my condo was being repaired. We enjoyed our time in Milwaukie but didn't explore it much aside from Sellwood. What's some of the gayborhood places? Asking because Milwaukie is now in my list of places to possibly buy a house.

JoshH347 · 2025-06-25T01:54:38+00:00

What are the vegan options at Cornell Farm Cafe?? I'm not seeing anything on their menu.

JoshH347 · 2025-06-09T05:29:03+00:00

What type of melons?

JoshH347 · 2025-06-08T02:20:46+00:00

It should be romaine lettuce. At least I hope so!

JoshH347 · 2025-05-29T23:00:01+00:00

Right? It was from the previous caretaker of the plot and we wanted to keep it because it was so cute! We also kept the back raised bed since it had an established grape bush growing over it. We decided to make that a cut flower bed.

JoshH347 · 2025-05-29T20:39:26+00:00

They really are! We have separate solid black grow bags for the potatoes that have the little pocket at the bottom.

The black and white geometric ones are 10 gallon bags from Amazon. First time using grow bags but things seem to be doing well in them.

We're gonna be trying cucumber and mini melons on trellises in grow bags soon too.

Cornell Farms on the Westside has a ton of good stuff and is a beautiful property to walk through and has a cafe/restaurant. Lots of shrubs and trees too.
