It is that time of year again! The two native Serviceberries (Amelanchier alnifolia) here are ready, constant and plentiful. There is even enough to share with the birds, although truth be known, it's more like they are sharing with you. Great grazing for humans. You see some almost-ready to eat, and practically with the blink of an eye, they have turned that perfect purple which is when they taste best! I cannot praise them enough. This bush is incredibly low maintenance... in my case, NO maintenance. I call them the Colorado blueberry.

I had a very special little helper this past summer. I am excited for the opportunity to teach my one and only grandchild how to grow food and medicine, care for backyard farm animals, build and nurture good soil, and all kinds of fun stuff, all while working with nature. Now...when he realizes that he need not be petrified of the kitty, we'll be all set! His name is Roman, but my nick name for him is Bucky. He calls me Mu Mu (pronounced Moo Moo). It means Mother's mother in Norwegian.

As local folks know, we were blessed with a super-duper bumper crop of apples this year. Happiness is fresh, unfiltered apple juice with a generous sprinkling of Ceylon cinnamon. This was from some low-hanging fruit. Heading out to experiment with an apple picker to see how it works. Fingers and toes crossed! 🤞

Most people I have talked with who grow garlic say that it is easy to grow. For me, it has typically been a challenge.
This year, it looks like I had success!
Planting in October in well-amended soil, watering regularly through the following spring and summer, clipping off scapes as soon as they are ready, and no watering a week before harvesting, and digging them up when the leaves turn brown is what worked for me.
After curing for a couple of weeks under the grapevine, they are ready to roast, store and share!

Beetle Juice! I did not speed this up, I swear...

Pollinator Palooza 2019

Don't forget the feed the bees!

Tit for tat

Japanese Beetles have been dining on my grapevine leaves, leaving behind mere leaf skeletons in their wake. The flock gets to dine too. Even Steven.

Splash!

Several months ago, this one lost his BFF to a raccoon. He has been depressed ever since and has just become one of the flock (of chickens)! Today, for the first time since then, I caught him having the time of his life, he was even talking to me again! Btw, the pool is filled water collected in one of the rain barrels that keeps on filling up this year!

The Goji Berry.

Plant fave this summer...

This is a Moon Carrot (not an edible). I got it at Harlequin's Gardens in Boulder, Co., which of course means that it is bee-safe. It has added some funk to the fruit tree guild this year!

Our Story

Behind the gate is a holistic garden farm which employs the basic concept of “whole,” where the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. In a holistic garden, interactions among gardeners, plants, animals and environment produce results greater than the sum of individual parts. The interaction of the gardener with the natural ecosystem produces many benefits. Nature is restorative, and we need nature more than nature needs us. Here, we are setting an example of what is possible on a typical urban lot in the mile high city, creating community and inspiration in a world where we are depleting resources at an alarming rate.
