Took photos today of things growing. More can be seen on my garden page.
Tom and I have been growing a HUGE garden each year. We grow organically and enough for ourselves, our friends, and for giving away to people that need food such as indigenous communities. We also water via irrigation.
I keep a page of updates on our garden at: Tom and Dee’s Garden.
It’s hard work for two people given the size of our property(of our .67 acres, about .33 of it is worked in garden projects.
We grow the largest plot (out of 2) in the “three sisters” arrangement – corn, beans and squash interspersed throughout each row so that the beans grow up on the corn stalks. We also have planted about 10 rows of sunflowers (various varieties).
The icon photo I’ve used with this post is a milkweed that grows in our field (prolifically!).
Gardening season is in full swing. This week I harvested herbs and vegetables and have been busy freezing and drying. We grow a huge quantity of food, a little we save for ourselves and the rest we give to folks in need and for activist events where people need to be fed. All of our crops are grown without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. We water via irrigation from existing water sources.

Last weekend we took a Father’s Day Hike. We plan to go backpacking next week.
