Wondering what kinds of root vegetables we will plant this winter to use in the soups we make. Definitely leeks and parsnips and being of Irish descent (well himself is) I figured we had better plant some potatoes! I was doing a little research and ran across this article that really zeroes in on why growing organic is not only important, but also necessary to keep the intricate balance of nature.

It really made me think about all of the changes that need to be made and are already being made to insure that the food we eat is safe and nutritious. I hope you take away the same feeling of a need for a tremendous shift, as I have, and a new appreciation for our soil. In the meantime I'll be planting some potatoes!
Happy Gardening!

Stained glass windows...
This past weekend we picked up some stained glass windows from a famous restaurant in Los Angeles called the Dal Rae Restaurant in Pico Rivera.
www.dalrae.com/about.htm
The stained glass windows represent the original owners who were brothers and raced surreys. The Dal Rae was their first million dollar horse!! There are two panels that have a horse and cart design and a third with red accent bevels. The two horse and cart design windows are approximately 54" wide by 20" high. I cannot wait to see how they will look in one of our glass structures!
There is another stained glass piece that was created by a local artist, Nita Overly, who owned the Sea & Glass Gallery in Cambria and Morro Bay. It is a Corn Stalk panel with Hopi sunburst, pottery and red clay. This is an original piece which is 55.5" wide by 20.5" high. This piece will be stunning in one of our original green houses!
