Lentil stew with radish greens
I love this stew because it uses bright and beautiful radish greens! Did you know the greens are edible? Store bought radishes usually have greens that have been squeezed, folded and bound with a rubber band so they don’t have much time in the fridge before getting slimy. Garden grown […]
Green Thumb Sandwich
Have you ever grown alfalfa sprouts? They’re SO easy, SO nutritious and SO delicious. They have a light and refreshing flavor to them and add an interesting texture to any salad or sandwich. My mother gifted me a Biosta stackable sprouter like this one. It was so easy to grow […]
Tomato Supports
The new, baby tomatoes are settling into their beds for the growing season. They look small and innocent but they will take off quickly. In order to be prepared for their growth and support them along the way, I’m building a new and improved tomato support system. Last year […]

2019 Garden Plan
It’s finally springtime! I’m so relieved and so excited about the growing season ahead. In the winter, I feel like a little seed buried in the heavy soil, sitting in the dark alone, waiting for warmth and light. It’s hard to be motivated to do very much except hibernate. My […]
