2016 Garden Inspiration
Let's face it, the dog days of summer are far from January -- but that doesn't mean there is any less to love. The New Year always walks in with promise and there is still plenty of growing at hand. Leafy greens and micro-greens being two favorites. Then there are planters to build and loads of seeds to start. I'm making more room for berries, dwarf fruit trees, climbing plants like cucamelons, and flowers -- there's always room for more flowers. This year on Pass The Pistil I'll be looking for ways to rethink our local landscapes -- the ones out our doors and within our communities. (Thanks to my fall visit to Seattle. Read the story on the blog -- the people behind City Fruit are on to something amazing.) And I can't wait to dive back into growing and eating. May the quiver of garden-to-table recipes continue to expand, from my home to yours and from yours to mine. Please write with suggestions and ideas. Best wishes to you and yours for a Happy New Year! Make it a good one! Find the things that make you happy and grow them. xoxo Emily
