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.

Good luck in your battle with the weeds... Garden is looking lovely!
And when you're done weeding your own garden, mine could use a little attention.
Thanks everyone, it's coming along and we're finally gaining on the weeds I think.
dragonfly-That big round thing is a 30,000 pound boulder, about the size of an old VW Bug with it's wheels off, that doubles as a bird bath. ;~)
If the weeds are winning in that photo, they sure are pretty weeds.
This is part of my vision of Paradise...nice gardens, people on bikes...hope the weeds treat you kindly!
hey Jim - just stopping by - have fun in the garden.

Your garden is looking lovely and one mans weed is another mans flowers.
