sleeping bison farm, ketchum, idaho

thanks to the farm’s greenhouse these cabbages are already half-grown in June.
In this bed they’re mixed with other early greens.

these bush beans got an early start thanks to this beautifully engineered cold frame, one of many.
 a cluster of established current bushes held court in the middle of the garden
 at the base of a dwarf fruit tree nasturtiums starts are arranged in a circle
 the last of the summer’s starts — mixed basil
the June idaho bounty pot-luck dinner at rebecca bundy’s sleeping bison farm—  was preceded by a garden/farm tour. idaho bounty is a local organization that supports sustainable agriculture (farmers, ranchers, chefs and market gardeners). www.idahosbounty.org http://www.idahosbounty.org 

contributing writer Kate Cartwright is a long-time local artist, astrologer and consummate gardener.

scapes

garlic “scapes” from theresa strolberg’s farm in buhl, idaho. not only are the garlic fronds gorgeous— they are delicious in salads, soups, etc…and theresa noted as you cut them for your salad, keep the loops intact—  your meal will be even more beautiful!

stinson beach

there is nothing like stinson on a day like this.
the ocean—   she can be so mellow, so serene, and then she can be wild and unruly just like the rest of us goddesses!  
(the full range of the goddess series…to be continued…)

hoo koo e koo

hoo koo e koo is my favorite trail. she winds around the middle of mount tamalpais and you will know when you have arrived. the trees—  buckeye, bay, oak, redwoods, down slope or  up slope they hold it all together for us i swear. they are having a hard time these days…i think it is their nervous systems—like ours—  are challenged at this time. they could use some connection, some real lovin. so say hi next time. you will notice they notice,  you.  feel the love.

cocolove

coconuts are the only fruit with a liquid endosperm…do you know what that means???
