Welcome Heavy Petal Readers
Andrea over at Heavy Petal in Vancouver, BC runs a weekly photo tour of gardens and this week she featured our garden. Yay! Jon and I were totally thrilled that she thinks our garden is “truly fresh food porn.” That is the best compliment ever.
If you’re new to DigginFood, let me say a big hello. I’ve been writing here since April about growing, cooking, and eating fresh food. I do my best to post a mix of recipes and gardening advice here three times a week.
If you want to explore what happened in my garden this year, click here. You’ll find step-by-step directions for building a mini greenhouse, advice for dealing with leaf miners organically, and tomato growing tips.
And if you’re more interested in eating, you’ll find my Italian grandmother’s heirloom pesto recipe, a damn good bacon sandwich, and pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting in my recipe section.
Over the winter I’m planning on beefing up my Gardening Guides (beets is the first entry) and sharing what’s happening in my garden and kitchen.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll check in again soon.
p.s. You should also definitely check out Andrea’s back patio makeover. I would kill to have her design savvy (love that horizontal fence!).




Hi, Willi, I have been listening to you on KUOW and have now checked out DigginFood. I refer to you as my garden guru in human form. I finally have a space to garden after a number of years without. I am diggin’ the look of the wood chips in your garden. I have looked at cedar chips at a few places, and they seem small and splintery. What kind are they, and where did you find them? Thanks for the inspiration and information. Cheryl
