If you like easy, tried and true recipes, this is the place! I've been feeding people good food for decades. Some of that food comes from my garden. I share tips that will help you grow vegetables and herbs to use in your recipes. Plus I love to put together beautiful planters.
I live in a 100-year-old house and that means that there is always a project! Come join me if you like good food, playing in the garden dirt, and seeing home improvements.
