Hello Fellow Greenthumbs!!

 (Heirloom Nantes Carrots, grown from seed)

     It has been quite a long time since I have posted anything, but that will change! I have more free time and that means more time to write.

     I was busy with setting up several public school vegetable gardens throughout the Las Vegas valley, which to be quite frank was absolutely amazing and rewarding in itself! I taught students from grade kindergarten to seniors in high-school how to cultivate and harvest their own vegetables/fruit. I also helped several culinary students and chefs with vegetable grows for dinners, I'll post photos of that sometime in the near future! These past two years have been quite the journey for me. I learned various ways how to get anyone involved in the future of agriculture and I also turned some individuals into absolute foodies, which is an amazing feat I believe.

Happy Gardening!

Man oh man! It's looking good!!

Hey guys! It's been quite a buy past week! I had my nine year anniversary with the love of my life and had a freak bit of thunderstorms hitting the Las Vegas valley. My anniversary was wonderful, but my garden didn't like the wind that came with the storms we had. I'm going to share with you guys a few photos of how far certain plants are progressing through this weird weather. Enjoy :) !!

Here's my straight-neck yellow zucchini squash that just formed the morning after another weird Las Vegas storm. 

 I picked this guy off the plant because it turned just the right shade of pink. I learned how to tell when it's ready for harvest through trial an error, lots of error. That's how we learn and improve :). 

These spicy boys are a real treat. They're called Santa Fe Peppers and get a real kick to them once they change to a red like you see here. If you are a fan of spicy peppers. I'd say give this one a go! 

Some beautiful Italian heirloom Roma tomatoes. What can I say? These are super flavourful and provide just the right amount of acidity to sauces, soups, and salads. 

This Cubanelle Pepper is one extreme eye-candy. I mean wow! Not only is it a mild sweet pepper. It's an awesome pepper for gourmet plating. Does quite well in the desert dry climate!  

Pimentos' are my top Five Spicy Peppers to grow. They are gorgeous and dreadful at the same time. Why did I say dreadful? Well, it's a super spicy pepper when matured, and with the ribs left in it. Watch out!

 It's an amazing thing to grow your own food. It has more flavour than the average market and more nutrients in them! Thanks for reading and enjoying these beautiful bountiful plants. Until next, keep it green and keep it growing.
