The Winter Garden Feb 06, 2012

hellebores

Just came in from a walk in the garden.  This time of year it is dominated by the reds and burgundies of the winter-blooming flowers.

Our own Stefani Bittner appears on page 42 of Sunset Magazine this month!

It's a beautiful shot of Stef and her winter vegetable garden bed. We were happy to oblige when Sunset asked if they could photograph at Stefani's house a couple of months ago -- and are now glad to see this great feature on a little known and surprisingly pink vegetable we know and love!

Pt. Isabel Dog Park

 

It's the time of year for resolutions.  My list is long.  On it includes everything from growing more celery to the ubiquitious slowing down of a busy life.  So, it seemed fitting to start the New Year with a walk in the park -- Ruby & Dylan's favorite park, Pt. Isabel.

Frost is on it's way and our citrus trees and over-wintering salad greens need protection from winter's destructive tempatures. One of my favorite ways to protect my meyer lemon and bearss lime trees is to use Christmas tree lights.

A Choo Shower Dec 11, 2011

Studio Choo

We have now spent a year with Jill and Alethea, the gals behind Studio Choo, working on the book project.  There have been many great experiences and changes in our lives -- but none so wonderful as the coming arrival of Baby Choo!  Last weekend Jill and Annabelle (their partner in The Prairie Collective) hosted a Lumber Jack Tie-Dye Baby Shower for Alethea!  A great time was had by all -- here are a few snap shots!  And if you are in the city doing a little holiday shopping -- make sure to stop by the Prairie Collective, located at 262 Divisadero Street, SF.
