From the Start

I recently collected all the pictures that I have been taking over the two years of the garden and it was really wonderful to see how much it has changed!

So I got inspired to talk about the progress of it, the failures and also to have a way of keeping track of what we do in our backyard.

I also want to share recipes that we use to cook our bounty, from jams to pickles and juices. As well as creative and easy ways of dealing with overloads of beans, favas, and other crops that do awfully well in this weather.

The garden is located right passed Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Our micro-climate allows for some sunny mid-days, so our choice of crops is a bit more varied than lets say, the Sunset or Richmond Districts, but definately it is no Mission valley weather or Potrero Hill.

Here is a picture of the early beginnings, when we had a a lonesome box in the back. Before we took the Permaculture Design Course in San Francisco, before volunteering at Hayes Valley farm and definately before traveling to South America and working on a farm for two months.

 But more posts to come with lots of details about these awesome things that have been coming together for me in the past few years and have shaped me and most likely my future.
