The Garden Gate

This is a drawing done by a local artist Jim Knoke's who actually built this garden gate out of iron leading to our front door.
The artist sketches are as beautiful as the gate he built.
I asked him if he could create the Kiwi leaves coming down the gate out of old rusty steel.
He hadn't done this type of project before,
but cherished the challenge.
I sent him pictures of actual Kiwi leaves and he made patterns of them to place on steel.
He made sure the edges of the leaves would be safe
with no cutting edges.
A one of a kind masterpiece of art.
It's a beautiful gate no matter what the season is.

It's been awhile since I've posted here

Life has different seasons requiring different demands on your life. So sometimes the passion of ones life gets put on hold for a short while. My passion is eatable gardens.

With a break from construction and life in general and gorgeous weather I couldn't resist planting lettuce seeds, carrots and some other fine veggies.

So today I planted broccoli calabrese
North pole lettuce butter head
early golden acre cabbage
cabbage wong bok
little gem romaine lettuce
forellenschluss romaine
butter crunch butter head lettuce
foru seasons organic butterhead lettuce
winter density romaine lettuce
arugula roquette
scarlet nantes carrots
nantes carrots
We will see what comes of it
