Good Swift Kick

I'm a mom to an almost-three-year-old hippie monkey boy - we live in Colorado. I'm an organic market gardener, and a giant permaculture geek. I'm also an artist, of sorts, and a yoga enthusiast. I despise waste and materialism, and have a worm bin in my kitchen.

I have to admit, I'm a tad nasturtium-happy. I'm really into the whole edible landscape idea, so my pretty little 'herb' garden contains tomato plants, eggplants, beans, and other yummies. You can see the shiso (perilla) plant in the bottom lefthand corner of the photo.

nasturtium




This is "empress of India" nasturtium, peeking out from the tomato jungle.

Why no, I haven't been around lately! For starters, three weeks ago, I had a rather bad stomach ache come on. Less than twenty-four hours later, I was coming out of surgery. Yes, I now have one less appendix than I used to.
