Journal

Plantarum is my garden journal where I (try to) document my seasonal gardens. It is under perpetual construction - mainly because I have about 1200 or so images of plants from seed to harvest and I've yet to find enough time to get everything uploaded. Also, a special acknowledgment goes to my beloved Bella-Donna (below) without whom, my massively tangled and wild gardens would never have seen one satisfactory vegetable produced - were it not for her amazing strength, endurance, patience with countless wild creatures and also, her fearless undercutting and beating back the brush with her power rototiller.

This photo was taken (recently) when she came out in the middle of hurricane rains with me to harvest beans, tomatoes, peppers, apples and plums. We had alot of fun (knee deep in mud). We are always thankful for mother earth's bountiful graces.

Strange Fruit

This is actually my garden journal; which has been badly weatherbeaten. I made it from an old cheapy notebook, strapping tape, and laser copy paper for various art. The page shown here is discussing the heirloom tomatoes I selected this year. One of which is shown below. :)

This is an heirloom tomato known as Chocolate Stripes. Of all the heirlooms we grew this season (I believe 17 to my recall) - this is the one that produced best. We have learned a great deal about tomatoes this year...
