Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly

The Gardener Chef is a chronology of my process in creating an organic vegetable, herb and flower garden beginning in the summer of 2009 and beyond. I include pictures of my progress, some narrative of my planning and process, and recipes for the foods I prepare from the harvest.

I also plan to include descriptives of my elders' stories from long ago, my memories of my attempts at gardening as a child, along with new ideas for gardening.

This is an integration of past and present narratives of gardening and serving delicious recipes with the abundant produce.

I welcome your comments and stories, and in sharing these, we can delight in your experience. Enjoy!
