Seasons are changing and I’m welcoming fall, at this point the tomotoes are doing really well and still bearing plenty of sweet fruit. The cucumbers are growing steady and beautiful….the trellis that I built for them didn’t work very well, so now they are just growing on a straight line of twine and that’s [...]
We planted our cucumbers about 3 weeks ago, and just about a week ago, I started seeing fruit! Everyday the vines grow a little longer, and this reminded me that the cucumbers would need something to grow on. So I did some research on cucumbers and buliding a trellis, next thing I know, I [...]

It all began with some free soil and cedar planks, enough to make two raised beds (good lookin’ Syreeta and Kristi). I had already made my video with Inye and was very excited about the prospect of growing my own food. Then the [...]
It has been a while; first we have begun harvesting some of your food…..yay!!!!!. Beautiful, healthy, nutritious, living food, including raspberries, tomatoes, cilantro, and beets…..wow.

If you’ve been following the story you know that the garden and yard at Inye, Kristi, Yirim and Kinneta’s garden is contaminated with lead. We’ve been trying to figure out what to do about it and this post is my attempt to bring things up to date.
