Today I decided to brave the wind and the rain and head on over to the Tacoma Farmer’s Market. I’ve been on a mission lately to try and find a few more heirloom tomato plants for my collection. Even though I am currently growing 33 different varieties of tomatoes this year, I am still on the hunt Read More >>

Here is another yummy quinoa recipe for all you quinoa crack heads out there. I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of this stuff. I am beginning to think quinoa should be sold by the ounce on a street corner. Seriously, quinoa is so addicting. It’s all I think about lately. Read More >>

Last night I took a walk around the garden and snapped a few photos, and it’s a good thing I did it then. This morning, it’s raining cats and dogs, and unless it clears up later this afternoon, I think I’ll just stay indoors today and work on a few projects instead of playing in Read More >>

With 16 raised garden beds, a greenhouse, a raspberry patch and a few more planting beds sprinkled throughout our property, I believe growing 2,000 pounds of food is an attainable goal.

Let me ask you a hypothetical question. Let’s say you have about 25 heads of Rainbow Swiss Chard you need to harvest. You don’t want to eat it {you’ve had your fill} you don’t want to freeze it {you’d rather save the freezer space for berries, beans and tomatoes} and you’ve already given away all Read More >>

This afternoon I made a rustic pear tart. Because I have major OCD issues, I had to give extra attention to lining up my pears like spokes on a bicycle wheel. It took me three tries. But besides that part, this was a very simple dessert to make, and I cannot wait to try it. Read More >>

Back in early March I did something a little crazy. I installed gutters our greenhouse and planted strawberries in them. I knew it was possible to grow strawberries in gutters because the man I bought the greenhouse from had them in his greenhouse. But it was February when I first spotted his gutters, and obviously Read More >>
