SNAP or
HALF-RUNNER?
I can’t decide what to grow in my new garden. As I have mentioned, ad nauseum, I am moving to a bigger place. AND, I am getting back the one thing I’ve really missed since I’ve lived on top of a mountain…a yard. Do I grow lettuce or spinach or tomatoes or cucumbers or green beens or blackberries or pumpkins or herbs? I have a finite amount of time. Can anyone tell me what to grow that won’t need my assistance? I suspect I’ll be waiting for that email for quite some time. This next call wants your perspective on gardens. Take a look…

“…let us cultivate our garden.” –Voltaire, from Candide
Sowing seeds, watching them sprout and ultimately grow into plants is an amazing and awe inspiring magical experience. Plants, flowers and trees in a garden have their own quiet life affirming force. From inspiring poetry and art to cleansing the Earth’s atmosphere and providing life sustaining nourishment, plants and flowers in a garden are essential to human existence. “ — from the A.
