City Sweet Garden

City Sweet Garden is located in Sheboygan, WI. and produces all natural products. My parents gardened but my main inspiration was my Grandma Ida.

I come from a long line of gardeners but sadly, it took me a long time to find my passions in life; gardening. When we ate at her house, few items were store bought. She always had home-made bread, milk and meat from my uncle’s farm, and of course, home grown vegetables. She is long gone but my memory of her garden is still fresh in my mind. At the ripe old age of 51, I had my “aha” moment. I appr

oached the owner of a vacant corner lot 2 doors down from my home. I offered to cut the grass and shovel the walk if I could put a garden on the lot. He agreed, happy that he could cancel the landscape service and save money. The rest is history. I now feed the neighborhood tomatoes along with a variety of other fresh produce. Like most true gardeners, I grow with organic principles. I compost excessively, don't spray anything but water (rain water from my rain barrels) and pull w**ds by hand (therapy). I am a little OCD with my garden but there's worse thing in life. The garden is not just for growing food. I have regular visitor, including neighborhood kids, senior citizens and everyone in between. I upset a neighbor by feeding his kids carrots. He said “Thanks a lot, now my kids won’t eat store bought carrots anymore. They want Dan's carrots!” I took that as a compliment. Having a garden on the street and not hidden from the public makes it a social gathering place. One neighbor comes over and then more join in. After a year of gardening, I had the beekeeping urge “sting” me. After studying beekeeping all winter, I started my own hive and produced honey. I currently have 5 hives and give bee presentations to grade school kids and students at the local junior college (where I have a hive in their rooftop green-space). This led to City Sweet Garden. I currently sell City Sweet Honey and Honey Paws dog paw balm. I hope to get into selling fresh product to the elderly at senior housing complexes. I built a produce cart that is pulled by my bicycle. And who knows what’s next!

Might have to add one to the corner garden. Then my wife might come over to w**d more often. 🤣

Anyone need cuttings from my fruit trees, we pruned them today. They will be by the park bench in my garden on the corner of N. 28th and Main Ave in Sheboygan. Contender Peach, Mount Royal Plum and Bartlet Pear. All will be labeled.

A great fall to replant strawberry beds. They were bare roots put in the ground in late September. Dill is still growing if anyone wants some. The new cold frame has lettuce starting to grow and next year’s compost is super hot inside. Also have a new ( but old) garden “ bed”.

With potential frost in the air, we harvested peppers tonight. Green Bell, Jalapenos and Carolina Reapers. The Jalapenos all came from 1 bush. The Reapers are available for trade. The cantaloupe was from a few days ago.

Thanks to Sacred Earth Farm for the awesome tomato plants. This is just what I picked today. Hungarian Heart, a large paste variety. No, I don’t grow quarters. Sam Laswell,

Every year we take a summer trip we come back to some surprise. This year it was cucumbers! Zucchini’s always go crazy.
