Organic Gardening


I love working in my garden. I'm often working in the rich, red soil as the sun is cresting over the peaks above my home. The lighting is always amazing as the mountains change from grey, to pink, to orange and then brilliant green. Recently the fresh crisp fall air has been my source of early morning energy. It's a great way to start a new day and I'm always at peace when I squish my toes into the cool earth and tend to my many plots of fresh vegetables.


This year I've grown tomatoes (cherry & large), cabbage, spinach, swiss chard, yellow onions, red onions, leeks, carrots, sweet corn, green beans, radishes, cucumbers, sweet peas, squash (gem, zuchini, butternut), pumpkin, lettuce, potatoes, basil & cilantro.


It's so amazing and wonderful to just run out to my garden and fill my bucket full of fresh vegetables to eat or share.
