A change in the wind

Posted on May 6, 2018 by ilyiglesias • Leave a comment

I can’t blame the garden; it has been productive and beautiful and engaging in ways I feign to describe with words. I can’t blame work; its been busy and all-encompassing and evolving, but it isn’t everything. I can’t blame the friends and family: they have been wonderful and funny and I just wish I had … Continue reading →

Falling into Fall

Posted on September 24, 2017 by ilyiglesias • Leave a comment

There was something about the crispy morning air on Friday, something familiar, and fresh, and welcome. It wasn’t immediately obvious what had happened, and them, as I snuggled back under our down cover it hit me- fall has arrived!! In our small coastal town, we have an extended summer, which often seeps its way into … Continue reading →

I think gardens are often a true reflection of our inner hearts. Some are manicured and organized- with every leaf and lemon in place, while others are scheduled and productive, with fruit and veggies tumbling off the vines. Still others, are in it for the looks, either for their own appreciation or to inspire ire … Continue reading →

A welcome garden visitor!

  As a kid, I was delighted to bring home from the garden store a precious treasure. A mystery so incomprehensible at the time, that I didn’t want to even touch it for fear of ruining the magic… it was a preying mantis nest, and inside I was told was a creature that defied imagination. … Continue reading →

Sunshine in a jar!

Oh summer, how you overwhelm my senses! From an abundance of sunshine on my skin, to the smell of ripening veggies on the vine, this summer has not disappointed. Nowhere is this more evident than in the small carrot and cucumber section of our raised beds. What these sections lack in space, they more than … Continue reading →

Back in bloom!

As much as I love spending every free waking moment around our little abode; enjoying the t-rex trundle of the chickies running around the yard, the sun baked sweetness of a newly ripened cherry tomato, the smell of fresh dirt rising after watering, and watching time pass before my eyes through the growth of squash … Continue reading →

I was living in Hawaii in a small, cinder block apartment when I first decided I had to have chickens. I am not really sure where the desire came from, especially while barely able to house a house-plant, not to mention a denizen of the outdoors.. but once I had the vision of a couple … Continue reading →

I am home….at least for this week before setting sail next week again, this time out to sea! It feels stupendous to be back in the garden and get reacquainted with the now teenage version of the little sprouts and seeds I left 6 weeks ago. And while I plan to spend the remainder of the … Continue reading →

Seasonal tea-reats

Easily one of my favorite garden activities involves plucking plants and immersing them in warm water to create a herbal tea treat! This spring I have already been able to reap the rewards of abundant rain and sun by harvesting the now overabundant crimson clover, red clover and chamomile that have recently sprung up!  As I may … Continue reading →
