Growing organic fruit & vegetables by a riparian woodland near the Monterey Bay. Naturalist, birder & doing my best to be a steward of the land.
My peaches are beautiful and delicious this year!

The colorful Swiss chard is a bright spot in the garden in winter.

Today I was among the trees in my riparian woodland, and I hugged one of my redwood trees.

Thank you for the pruning guide. I printed it and put it in a small binder for easy access. I’ll be adding additional pruning info to the binder.

What do you do to find solace in troubled times?

I find solace and serenity working in my organic home orchard and garden, and I complete a cardio workout every day.

When I was ready to go inside around 5 PM, I was happy to see this beautiful Townsend's Warbler; a beautiful ending to the day.
