A special showing for you. I’m getting another garden post ready not for a little though.
Story behind the picture…our greenhouse collapsed this winter under 18 inches of snow guess it was tired from the season of growing. Rebuilding the house I fortified the structure with a couple welded wire panels to distribute the weight across a larger area. We also had to replace all the metal tubes that made the structure.

With the leftover remains of the house I concocted tomato cubicles with everything but telephones and desks.

Mostly Romas with a Heinz classic and a couple volunteers.


The other side all Romas but not in a day…they take a while.

Had a rather bothersome business I had to deal with for a while but in the spare time my hands were in the ground. My grandfather was a farmer in Poland before he came here bringing all that old world knowledge to pass on.
His mantra was “You don’t have to farm your plants if you farm your soil first.” His was largely permaculture knowledge with techniques not knowing the ‘why’ it worked, only that it did for generations. I endeavored to learn as much as I could about the ‘why’ while employing those techniques.

Soil remediation is a fascinating subject.

that sixth sense - that innate ability to understand their undertaking. I knew a "cook" (more like a world class chef) here in town. He had the "gift". People who had sampled some of the finest foods in the world would say his was some of the best. My family had the great privilege of knowing his family.

Anyway I really feel gardening and growing things is a gift.
