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.

Do you cover up your frames at night for frost or to keep heat in?

Yes we will cover these beds with fiberglass panels until the plants develop their true leaves. With all the weather we've been having, it was nice to get started on some planting before the next storm, maybe tomorrow night!
How exciting...the hope, the joy, the promise of planting a new garden! Best of luck to you!
looks like so much fun...!
isnt this spring weather just wild? i love the snow pictures on your blog here....down here at the coast it has been wet and windy and very wild. the air smells so good! Good luck with the small plantings you've begun.
oh thats so exciting, I love planting seeds, I keep stuff here covered with fleece for a good while after its been planted and started growing
I did a bit of gardening too; I got some of the raised beds cleaned out and a few greens planted. It's so exciting!
