About karminadellic
My garden journey has been container/roof gardening in EasternWashington State, organic crops for the farmers market on my 2 acre farm in Vermont, and now I'm learning all about backyard gardening in HOT Arizona. Just moved into a house - built raised vegetable beds, started the compost, and have been trying to revive the neglected rose bushes out front.
The foods I will miss when I die - a sun-warmed tomato plucked from the vine and popped into my mouth and the first ear of corn, grilled in the husk.
