Hi folks, I did my mailing a while ago so if you think you should be on my mailing list please go the the website and send me an email! I have pared the list down because it is so expensive. Thanks.

Back to work

What a wonderful time I had on my recent trip to Guatemala. I was able to see lots of lovely plants, cook amazing food with my friend Otilia and her family, work in the herb gardens at the Fundacion Tradiciones Mayas, swim in Lake Atitlan with the dogs, walk walk walk everywhere especially Panajachel, and study more spanish language.

I will be posting other details of the trip including some amazing cooking lessons. For now, it's back to work and getting things organized for another growing season. Pansies to be planted and some other ornamental spring crops growing nicely. So who has the crystal ball to see what we will be looking forward to this spring?

I'm trying to down size th plant list, we will be looking at utility, form and function and how that relates to the gardens here in New England. Simple elegance and reliability is the criteria.

I had some amazing walks in the hills around the lake and collected many interesting seeds to experiment with. This is my friend Miguel collecting some pods for me.
