The carrots all taste awesome....carrots were originally purple until the 1700s. I really do love the colours....next year I will do DIY seed tape for the carrots.

I grew tons of tomatillos and gave them all away. Maybe next year I won't grow any.

Dried lavender was processed for future bath bombs and apple butter made in the crock pot. My kitchen smells heavenly.

2016 preparations have begun. I bought about 50 packets of heirloom seeds many of which are rare and organic with lots of rainbow types; and made my own seed mats; similar to seed tape.

Can't wait to plant!

Just finishing up beets and carrots from last falls harvest. They kept wonderful in my extra garage fridge. Still so tasty much better than store bought.

This is my first year with this seed company. I usually buy the seedling plants. This year I am so prepared!

We have so many ospreys flying around, varmints have never been a problem, other than birds at my berries. I use loose netting to cover the ripening fruit.
