>I planted a sunflower close to my front porch two years ago. Last year a few feet in front of the original location another grew without me planting it…seeds fell and it replanted itself. This year a few feet further the same thing happened. Nature takes care of itself if we let it. Beautiful. IContinue reading “>3rd Generation Sunflower”

>It’s tiny and it’s beautiful…and I realize I was a little anticipatory by plucking it from its plant so early…I was just so surprised when I looked down and saw it hanging there. I grew it from seed…amazing. It’s the first actual vegetable (opposed to an herb) I plucked from the garden this year, exceptContinue reading “>Virgin Pepper”

>This is one of the many things that I find truly amazing: put a seed in the ground and it grows. Exactly eight days ago I pushed a bunch of seeds into little plastic trays with soil in them, watered them and put the trays on a table.
