    Farmy photo shoot!

    July 29, 2012 / 2 Comments

    I am usually the one taking the pictures, so I am rarely in them. That said, I am so excited to have some pictures of myself doing the things I love; working in the garden and in my sewing room.

    Chicken Coop and Urban Farm Tour

    July 6, 2012 / 4 Comments

    Seattle Tilth’s Chicken Coop and Urban Farm tour is next Saturday, July 14th from 10am to 4pm and I am a host! There are over 50 urban farms on the tour that are showcasing veggie gardens, chickens, goats, bees and more! Buy your tickets from Brown Paper Tickets and get the map. Come see me and my garden and as many of the other gardens as you can! I have been a host and a participant (I tend to alternate years, so I can go see gardens too), so I can say it’s well worth it!
