Basil
Fresh herbs are one of the best things about a backyard garden. The freshness, the flavors. There are some that are hardy and last year after year, and then there is basil. In this cool Pacific Northwest it is still too early for basil. However it is one of my garden staples so I start [...]

In September of 2007 my partner and I purchased a home in Tacoma, Washington, and left our garden behind in Seattle. Thankfully, my good friend Les moved into our house in Seattle and resumed care of the garden. We moved to a larger slice of paradise located in the very southern tip of Tacoma. We [...]

Thats right, the beginning of the garden season. There is a point in winter where the cold and dark are just tiring to the soul and all I can think of is my spring garden. But February, a full month before Spring before most anything else goes in are the peas. The initial hope for [...]

In September of 2008, I had the great opportunity to visit Paris and Giverny. My travelling companion and I went, essentially, for two reasons – to eat and relax… and we did both in great quantities. One of the most amazing places we visited was a small town called Giverny, about an hour northwest of [...]

It’s the precarious season here in the Pacific Northwest – do we dare hope that spring is upon us? Will we see another night where it lingers dangerously near freezing?

It must be getting close because it is seed catalog season in a HUGE WAY! All of us here at GA have received dozens of catalogs from businesses selling their seeds, bulbs and gardening supplies. And it’s got me pumped up for spring! Over the last couple weekends, I’ve been clearing out the vegetable beds [...]

The hardest part about planting garlic is picking a place to put in next years garlic, oh and also finding a day that its not pouring down rain and not too cold that you can stand to be outside planting. Garlic is a bulb and is planted in the fall. These will start to grow [...]

Everything is in…….well everything so far. There will be re-planting of course and there will be fall crops but for now the veggies are all in. I even made room for snack jack pumpkins.
