FishCandy Farmstead

FishCandy Farmstead was an urban farm grows organic produce + flowers. I love to grow vegetables!! I have been a gardener for 40+ years. Pura Vida!
(4)

I have grown and sold vegetables to friends and the community over the years. I ran a very small CSA for a couple of years for 5-10 friends. I love talking with people about growing, and I enjoy teaching everyone about the importance of our connection to the earth, and how important it is to find the freshest, un-adulterated food they can find to eat. I grow my vegetables without the use of chemic

als of any kind. I rely on companion planting, crop rotation and using flowers and herbs to encourage good insects and deter/confuse the bad guys! My growing philosophy is centered around biodiversity, as nature was designed. When there is diversity in the environment, the system is much healthier. the soil is is more healthy and retains nutrients for all the things that grow. Update**: As of April 1st, 2021, I shut the FishCandy Farmstead down. The address is not in affect anymore. I have retired from this form of growing, and relocated to Costa Rica. I will keep this page up as I feel it will be of benefit to others. I will post occasionally, information and philosophy that supports this way of growing and living. Please like my oage to stay updated on my new adventures in Costa Rica!

Well, it's springtime in Kansas City. 71 degrees yesterday, then today it's storming, hail possibly and then a cold snap on Saturday overnight, dipping into the mid twenties. I wait for May. Here's a little update on the garden.

My favorite day of the year has come!! The end of winter and in a little over an hour, SPRING will arrive!! And to make it super special, the moon will be full. Not since 1981 has this occurred. I went out today and took some more readings. Enjoy my goober nerd video.

Please, if you have seed, throw some out for the birds!

I've been watching this HUGE red tailed hawk in the area. The crows are giving it the what-for but it's not amused. I go out with my little dog so she's safe.

It just switched over

Don't mind all those weeds, they're gone now, but I caught a few more monarchs going after the Tithonia

45 days.

This is going in the greenhouse:

I kind of like the sound of this.

Our Story

I love to grow vegetables!! I have been a gardener for 40+ years. I have grown and sold vegetables to friends and the community over the years.

When there is diversity in the environment, the system is much healthier. the soil is more healthy and retains nutrients for all the things that grow.

In addition to growing food and inspiring others to do the same, I use nature to inspire me in my art. It is an endless supply of complexity and simplicity. I love finding patterns in nature, be they in a leaf, the seasons, sun and moon. I will never run out of ideas to create my art. I have an uncanny ability to see what others pass by. The unexpected, surprising gifts of nature are all around us, we must be out in it, to find them.
