Well, not in a strange way. I'm probably old enough to be your mother, and I fell in love with your joie de vivre and creativity and enthusiasm and your sense of purpose! Looking at all the delicious photos and yummy recipes of things I have recently found out I can no longer eat, whimper whimper. If it's comfort food, it's off limits -- sugar, dairy, alcohol, yeast, gluten, eggs... I don't want to talk about it! Then I stumbled upon your one-pot garden, and vowed to remember. You see, I've just moved to Ithaca, NY -- for the cold weather, the sense of community, the reasonable cost of living, the gorgeous gorges, etc. etc. -- for the second half of my life. The half where I don't have to do anything I don't want to do, where I don't have to do stuff to earn money, I can just do what I love... (and presumably, learn to love new things, like gardening.) Well, pretty soon, end of May (I'm a May baby, too -- the 21st), will be the last frost around here, and I came back to your site to copy down the ingredients for the garden. I also did a search to see if I could find any more blogs about how it went... I saw where you named your first two tomatoes, and I saw the bee, but after that == silencio... How did it go? Will you do it again this year? Any tips for us? I'm thinking about starting the plants from seeds in doors... Because the end of May is so far away... Anyway, I hope you and your baking and your aspirations are going well. You make me smile. Liza Hey, Joy,
I stumbled upon your blog in late December or early January, and fell in love with you. Well, not in a strange way. I’m probably old enough to be your mother, and I fell in love with your joie de vivre and creativity and enthusiasm and your sense of purpose!

Looking at all the delicious photos and yummy recipes of things I have recently found out I can no longer eat, whimper whimper. If it’s comfort food, it’s off limits — sugar, dairy, alcohol, yeast, gluten, eggs… I don’t want to talk about it!

Then I stumbled upon your one-pot garden, and vowed to remember. You see, I’ve just moved to Ithaca, NY — for the cold weather, the sense of community, the reasonable cost of living, the gorgeous gorges, etc. etc. — for the second half of my life. The half where I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do, where I don’t have to do stuff to earn money, I can just do what I love… (and presumably, learn to love new things, like gardening.)

Well, pretty soon, end of May (I’m a May baby, too — the 21st), will be the last frost around here, and I came back to your site to copy down the ingredients for the garden. I also did a search to see if I could find any more blogs about how it went… I saw where you named your first two tomatoes, and I saw the bee, but after that == silencio…

How did it go? Will you do it again this year? Any tips for us? I’m thinking about starting the plants from seeds in doors… Because the end of May is so far away…

Anyway, I hope you and your baking and your aspirations are going well. You make me smile.

Liza

We've already got sunflowers, zucchini and lavender:) I can't wait to plant more squash, especially pumpkins for baking! Having a garden, no matter the size, is so fun!

You have to look into these, and no I don't sell them. However, a friend of mine went one better. For my B'day last week, he took a large hanging pot, made a hole in the bottom and planted the toms so they hang down. Then on the top, he planted basil & thyme!!! He's soooo inventive!! And I already have little baby tomatoes too!!! Good luck with the garden, it's relaxing & fun!!! I got one of the topsy turvy tomato thingys this year and my 2 little plants are going nuts!!

I printed out your directions, brought them the store, got my supplies, and planned out my own "deck garden." I ended up doing a few different pots, with 5 vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, buttercrunch lettuce, and spinach) and 5 herbs (cilantro, lavender, basil, oregano, lemon thyme) in all. It's such an exciting thing to come home from work everyday and see their progress! I hope I get a couple bees, too :) Thanks for the inspiration! A “thank you!” from me as well.
