Hi. I am Carrie. This is a journal about life in my little city garden and kitchen. Want to know more…….

Straight from the garden! 💚🌿💚 I love a good grocery store but I have yet to see one that beats a fresh harvest. My small space has produced some fun and unique vegetables - purple cauliflower, crookneck squash......... What fun thing have you grown that is unavailable in a store? Would you plant it again? Where did you gets the seeds? So many questions....... You know you love gardening if you got excited by the questions. 💚🙋🏻‍♀️💚 #freshisbest #straightfromthegarden #uniqueisbeautiful #lovegardeners #communitygardening #gardenfriends #vegetables #gardenlife . . . . . . #smallgarden #growfood #growfoodnotlawns #funfood #gardenlove #backyardgarden #urbanorganicgardener #urbangardening #greenlifestyle #sustainableliving #gardentotable #heirloomseeds #grownfromseed #harvest #uniquefood
Favorite harvests! 💚🌿💚 If you caught yesterday’s post you know I am enjoying looking back on the development of our little urban garden at the 2 year anniversary. It has been a time to take stock of things and I have come to some realizations. I have a small garden and I will never have copious harvests. What I will have are bright little harvests that keep us and a few friends eating fresh local food. Worth it - right? Where do you grow - small space or big space? Happy harvesting friends! 💚🥗🌿💚 #growwhatyoucan #gardenharvest #growfoodnotlawns #growsomethinggreen #growfood #smallgarden #urbangardening . . . . . . . #iamamodernfarmer #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #greenliving #gardentotable #tomatoes #grownfromseed #eattherainbow #vegetables #vegetablegarden #plantlove #growingfood #urbanfarmer #nourishment #sustainableliving #californiagarden #socalgardener
Good morning friends. If you have been hanging around with me for a while, you know I prefer to hide behind my vegetables. But not today. About 2 years ago we moved to the outskirts of LA and I was garden-less. It was a strange feeling that left me without roots and ungrounded. Well, skip ahead to now and I am prepping for a photo shoot with @gardeners. The prepping has left me all nostalgic and flipping through old photos. I arrived at our new place with a carload of container plants and immediately started planning for more. Along the way @gardeners got involved and I was able to tap into their expertise and test some of their amazing products. For background, I started gardening to grow food with a history I found comfortable. I cook from my garden on most days - yes, we grow all year in California. Mel, the pup enjoys the garden too but is camera shy like her mom. I have gardened in several locations and found that there is no perfect spot where learning is not required. So, I am reliving the transition from small urban lawn to food garden. Interacting with garden loving friends on IG - awesome! I love getting your comments. Tag me with your garden building stories and I will happily share them in mine this week. Come along with me and celebrate our little food producing community. More later…….XXOO, Carrie #gardenlife #growfoodnotlawns #smallgarden #urbanorganicgardener #mygarden
Watermelon harvest 2019! 💚💕💚 Full disclosure - this was the only melon we got this year. 😂 I have yet to crack the code of melon growing in our little city garden. Just enough hope to not give up on it for next season. A small reward but it tasted so very good - a perfect garden dessert. There is always next year, garden friends! 💕🙏💕 #watermelon #alwayshopeful #melon #kitchengarden #onmytable #fromthegarden #homegrownfood #jardin . . . . . . . . #urbangarden #citygarden #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #greenlife #gardentotable #gardenlife #gardenharvest #urbanfarmer #gardengoals #potager #inmybackyard #inmygarden #allotment #gardeninspiration #gardening_love #growingfood #sustainableliving
Summer tomatoes- done. 💚🍅💚 Not to worry, winter tomato varieties are planted and settling in. The winter ones won’t produce as well or taste quite as sweet but are soooo worth the garden space and effort. For now these goodies will rest and ripen on the counter - finding their way into our daily salads. Hanging onto to the last bits of summer here....... #summermemories #tomatoes #heirloomtomatoes #harvestbowl #tomatoharvest #endofseason #smallgarden #urbangardening . . . . . . #urbanorganicgardener #organicgardening #grownfromseed #gardentotable #farmtotable #inseasonnow #greentomatoes #mygardenlife #californiagarden #vegetablegardening #homegarden #homegardening #greenlifestyle #sustainable #nongmo #seedsaving
Sometimes you take just what you need. 💚❤️💚 I needed a few more goodies for a veggie stew - okra, beans and a roasting pepper. A few strawberries for some post dinner sweetness. One of the best things about a kitchen garden is being able to dart out the back door and grab a few extras on demand. Usually it is an herb or two but veggies work too. 💚🍛🌶💚 #kitchengarden #potager #okra #greenbeans #strawberries #fromthegarden #inseasonnow . . . . . . #smallgarden #urbangarden #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #sowtrueseed #greenliving #growfood #organicgarden #gardentotable #lovegardeners #tractorsupply #gardenlife #rsblooms #veggiegarden #californiagarden #gardenharvest #urbanfarmer #whatsfordinner #growfoodnotlawns #sustainableliving
