My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

There were three…

You first smooth everything out, fertilize, work your soil, germinate ideas, plow things up, pullout rocks and sticks and set the rows. Then you start planting, mindful of what helps and what hurts, where you put things last year and always considering that the small plant or seed is going to be different from the full grown…
Read MoreThere is something so satisfying about starting a garden from seed. I nurture these little plants inside during the winter and now, this week, I am putting them out in the garden. Of course there are plants that I sew directly in the garden, but not the majority, most of them I started inside. It is backbreaking, sweaty work, moving them all into place. I agonize over the arrangement, but…
