a place to be

We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.

Go Peggy! Oh well...someone has to do all the work whilst Jim is laid up and on the end of the camera!
A woman's work is never done....:>)

Very true Kiwi!
Most of the yard & garden work for the past few weeks has been done by Peggy and I haven't even felt like manning the camera.
PS
Thanks again for your thoughtful e-card.
Jim
Did you use the surrounding soil for your raised beds or did you fill the beds with your own mixture?

Jeff-
We combined the existing soil with fresh compost and refilled the beds with that mixture.
Jim,
Thanks. I envy that dark soil. Is it alluvial?

who is weary of battling marginal, sticky like peanut butter, Kentucky clay.
