2011 Will Be Known as a Great Gardening Year

It's not even July yet and we've eaten from our garden: lettuce, spinach, onions, kale, beets, beet greens, radishes, basil, chiles, cilantro, dill and tomatoes! Hope all you other gardeners out there are having a great year too!!!

Common Milkweed

Why The Common Milkweed? Well many reasons: 1 - It's important! Milkweed is the only larval food for the Monarch Butterfly and food for many other invertebrates. 2 - It's common, yet possesses singular beauty and therefore represents all the beauty in and around us (right under our noses and on "this side of the fence") and the potential for that common beauty to be recognized, expressed and celebrated. 3 - Its persistence in less than ideal growing conditions proves that the beauty contained in the common endures.
