What to do with all those tomatoes...


Here is an article that answers that question, you make salsa and can it for later! What a treat to have fresh from the garden salsa in the middle of winter! Hang on to this recipe because soon we will be wondering what to do with all the tomatoes in our gardens!

Everywhere I look I see windows....

every office building, every house, all have windows and they all are interesting and tell a different story. For example, I have a batch of windows to use in a green house that belong to a 4th generation family right here in San Luis Obispo! The house was built in the early 1920s and the windows have that old, wavy glass in them, very cool windows that will look amazing in one of my green houses!

Another connection I am cultivating landed a job renovating a Beverly Hills French Country Style home of which he is giving me the windows he replaces! I am still hoping to get the office building windows from Los Angeles which would be the basis for my standard green house kits.

Stay with me as I grow this venture....

How can you not feel like getting out in the garden...

when it's 80 degrees outside? I recently read this article about organic seeds and how they are getting a little easier to get as more people are becoming interested in them. The last paragraph gives you the names of a few organic seed catalogs, they also suggest looking in your own community first for a local seed company or seed saver exchange.

And remember if you need a place to grow, I have one for you!!

Happy gardening...
