Lives in the Garden

Five varieties of tomatoes in orange red colors

Some from last year, the pink bumble actually produced the best . I picked 90 tomatoes one day from one plant and the plant just kept going!. ( brads atomic, chocolate pear, punke bumble), rosella, Berkeley chocolate cherry.

Black Cherry and Berkeley tie dye! Amazing flavor. Also growing pineapple and looking for new varieties that can handle sustained temperature swings

Why Walking Helps Us Think Since at least the time of Greek philosophers, many writers have discovered a deep, intuitive connection between walking, thinking, and writing.

"A small but growing collection of studies suggests that spending time in green spaces—gardens, parks, forests—can rejuvenate the mental resources that man-made environments deplete"

A good walk in nature is as good a way as any to start the new year

The Altadena seed library needs all of the help it can get- if you have native plant seeds to share, please make sure they find their way to this group. Monetary donations are also hugely welcome via gofund.me/6643efc6

Journal, seed catalogs, colored pens.

I love the garden planning phase. I can geek out, learn lots, and find moments of calm amidst all the horror right now. It is also a gesture of hope, anticipation that things will grow, delicious food will be harvested,  meals will be shared,  beauty will be created. May it be.
