Heirloom Vegetable Seeds by Sandy Swegel Two forces collided around the kitchen table this week. First I was oogling our seed catalog and indulging in winter snow day daydreams about summer gardens and how I might turn my tiny urban yard into a farm so I could grow one of everything. At that moment I […]
Why We Should All Grow a Garden This Year by Sandy Swegel From my early morning dreams: Psychics around the world predict a new rise in human global consciousness this year. In all corners of the globe, human beings awake this year and realize the true path to enlightenment is eating good nutritious food especially leafy […]
Getting Creative With Nature by Sandy Swegel As always, necessity spurs creativity in my life. I had a party to go to last night and needed to wrap a simple gift, but had no wrapping paper much less any of those easy gift bags in the house. Even though I love a nicely wrapped gift, […]

Heirloom Vegetable Seeds by Sandy Swegel The hard freeze is upon us here in Colorado. We’re scurrying to save and process the last of the harvest. Counters are full of green tomatoes. Winter squash line the shelves of the mudroom. But fresh organic food coming in from the garden is dwindling. The time of buckets […]
Why to Grow Your Own Bitters by Sandy Swegel One doesn’t often go to a plant lecture and find oneself roaring with laughter, but that’s what happened this month when I went to see Amy Stewart at the Denver Botanic Gardens. She is a gifted and entertaining writer and her stories about her latest book, […]
