Winter Garden Tour

by fig + fauna farm on 01/27/12

Just beyond our kitchen window grows a bountiful winter garden, dressed in shades of green, purple and grey. While my intentions are to bring the fruits, vegetables and greens to the table, most of it is consumed on the spot. The connection of instant cultivate-to-consume, strengthens me for the work that must be done to maintain a vibrant garden. There is magic in tending to a garden - I can only hope to sew a seed to germination, but the fruition is completely an act outside of me.

Readers and gardeners alike...what is the most magical plant that you grow...or hope to grow?

Tomatoes are probably the most magical thing I love to grow, but it is all full of beauty. I think carrots are pretty awesome too!

Misti- Oh yes, both of those are so fun. I'm loving the hunt for hidden strawberries right now!

Amazing to see such green, such color. We love the corn we grow...the little kernels, they pop when you eat them, straight from the stalk, raw.
